Side Scrolling Game

My idea for a side scroller game is to make a simple platformer, not unlike Super Mario, but incorporating elements from Mega Man X (such as the insane difficulty and projectile attacks), Rayman Origins (co-op gaming) and Donkey Kong Country (sidekicks, collectibles). The genius of this though, is that since simplicity is the focus, a direct port between mobile and console is possible because the control scheme will be the same between the console and mobile version of the game, letting people who are more familiar with console gaming enjoy this game and vice-versa.
