Before there was Spelunky, there was a 1980s platformer called Spelunker. The ultra-challenging platformer saw players navigating deadly caves with little chance of survival. That game was remade and expanded as Spelunker HD on PlayStation 3, but it’s not exactly easy (or even possible) to play PS3 games on modern consoles. Hence, ININ and To...

Classic 8-bit platformer Spelunker was remade and given the co-op treatment as Spelunker HD back in the PlayStation 3 days. Because that version of Spelunker HD can't be played on today's consoles, another remake makes perfect sense. Thus, ININ and Tozai Games have just released Spelunker HD Deluxe on PlayStation 4/5 and Nintendo Switch. Wi...

For the shortest month of the year Sony has given the PlayStation PLUS members another batch of free games! For the single-player audience, the 2017 adventure game Rime leads the way, but for the ones who play games to play them with friends, the ones who love Co-Op, and the ones who missed out on 2014’s PS4 exclusive, Knack will be free.

Spelunker HD is getting some new content. Now, before you get all excited, take note that I'm referring to Spelunker HD, not the recently released Spelunky. I've played both games, and I can honestly say Spelunker HD is like Spelunky's older, uglier, drunker, and more abusive brother. If you want more insight checkout my Co-Op Review from a few years ago. It was brutal.

Spelunker HD is a remake of the original Spelunker, a punishing platformer with catchy tunes, challenging gameplay, and tons of levels. Spelunker HD has been available in Japan for well over a year now. The game has finally made the trip stateside. Was it worth the wait?

Over a year ago we brought you news of Spelunker HD, the umpteenth re-release or re-imaging of the original Spelunker.  This game has been available in Japan for some time (over a year), so it's nice that it is finally making it stateside.  If you do not know what the word 'spelunker' means, do yourself a favor and ask the most mature, kind-hearted person you can find.  Do not ask me, for I am neither mature nor kind-hearted, and whatever you do, do not consult the Urban Dictionary, to which I have linked for some reason.  Don't do it.

I don't know about you guys, but the beginning of the summer is always full of "I've been meaning to do this, let's get it done!" and left very little time for gaming. So, instead of my general impressions on a downloadable title, let us now take a look at the lineup for this summer.

Spelunker HD is already available on the Japanese PlayStation Network, and the remake of the classic NES game has garnered some fairly solid buzz.  Now we have word that the game will be making its way stateside, along with the included 6 player online co-op mode!
