Your most wanted sequels will (probably) never happen?

[Swamperon]

Curious to see what sequels other people really want but are never going to materialize. For me it's:

Chrono Trigger 'Break'.

Skies of Arcadia II: Even the rumours about this one have died down.

Shining Force IV: Camelot willing, Sega not so much (at least what I've heard)

Azure Dreams 2: That craptacular 'spiritual sequel' on DS does not count.

Billy Hatcher 2

Eternal Darkness 2: This is more feasible than the rest but Too Human keeps getting in the way :-(

NiGHTS 3: If only to apologise for the mistake of NiGHTS: JoD

Dragon Force 3

Mischief Makers 2!

Interesting how most of these are Sega properties... damn Sega!

EDIT: (*THAT will never happen, urgh hangover)

[Baloo]

Streets of Rage 4
Burning Rangers 2
Daytona USA 4
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker 2

I actually don't wish to see a NiGHTS 3, the original NiGHTS was so good there didn't need to be a sequel IMO, and that's what Yuji Naka said as to why there wasn't going to be a sequel. JoD was terrible, it should have never been made.

[LiquidPolicenaut]

Some I would like are:

Eternal Darkness 2
Dreamfall 2
Lunar 3
HotD 5
Virtua Cop 4
Actraiser 3
Keio Yuugekitai (Flying Squadron) 3

Though I want a good number of sequels beyond those I just mentioned, I sometimes almost DON'T want them because I fear of the companies screwing them up by turning them into some horrid "update" like TMNT IV Reshelled...

There are some sequels I would want but I dont miss too much, like Streets of Rage and Final Fight only because I have "almost" real sequels to them like Streets of Rage Remake and my own update to Hyper Final Fight...

[Manhattan Sports Club]

-Solomon's Key 3/Fire 'n Ice 2
This is probably more likely to happen eventually, at least in regards to the former (although the Monster Rancher/Solomon crossover on GBC could count as the third, perhaps). The Solomon games are a great, clever bunch of puzzlers, and of course a level editor to keep things going in the longrun is always appreciated.

-The Krion Conquest 2/Magical Kids Doropie 2
Yes, I know it is a blatant Megaman ripoff. However, I am a huge Megaman fan and because of the overt similarities, enjoyed this one just as much, and think of it as somewhat of a sidestory or spiritual sequel. I love that witch Francesca/Doropie. There was at least a modified mobile phone port that was produced fairly recently, but that doesn't say a whole lot, sadly.
EDIT: Surprise! I found out there is a doujin sequel to this! News at 11!

-Chameleon Twist 3
While the first two were pretty easy for the most part and had their shortcomings, I enjoyed them nonetheless. I have also recently contacted Hideyuki Nakanishi (who also happens to be the creator of Bound High) and he said there are no plans to make another, though if the source code is still extant he could always port it in a compilation package or at least to the Virtual Console. Still, it would be nice to see another one be made which would contain all that WAS good about the originals, and correct whatever WASN'T.

-Illbleed 2
Another cult classic which was slated to get an XBOX port but never did. I remember sitting in the dark playing through it for a week and then almost 2-3 more times straight through to get all the endings. I really did enjoy it, and it gave me both chills and laughs with its odd mix of horror and black humor.

And I second Mischief Makers 2. ;)

[buzz_n64]

Battletoads vs Double Dragon 2
Moonwalker 2
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (I know there was a PC sequel, but only one non-PC game)
Gex 4 (2d graphics)
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out 2

[dra600n]

As someone already said: Shining Force IV

Other games I'd like to see:
Secret of Mana 2 (translated, tossed up on the Wii)
Final Fantasy 3j (translated, tossed up on the Wii)
Mario RPG 2
Diablo 3 (they're working on it, just wish it was already here)
Paladin's Quest 2

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

A current gen console online multiplayer sequel to River City Ransom.

That's all I want in this lifetime god dammit!!!

[Graham Mitchell]

The guardian legend 2/guardic gaiden 2.

Also Snatcher 2. The ending totally makes room for a sequel when Gillian goes to Moscow.

[kupomogli]

Brigandine
Resident Evil Outbreak (how the second bombed, I guarantee we'll never see another and it sucks because these are two of my favorite RE titles.)
WWE Smackdown! (the good Smackdown games.)
Breath of Fire
Rival Schools
SaGa (the creator is working on stuff like Crystal Chronicles or other titles. See also: Unlimited SaGa.)
Magic of Scheherazade (there was a sequel. I even had a old magazine that had an ad and pictures. Then it was cancelled.)

Or ones that I want that we'll more than likely get one in the future. Hopefully.

Damn, beaten to Shenmue 3, but not to...

Power Stone 3- I will be all over ANY Power Stone game that comes out on either XBLA or PSN, even if it's just an enhanced remake of PS2... actually, no, scratch that, ESPECIALLY if it's an enhanced remake of PS2.

Oddworld 4, or another Abe game. Actually, just another Abe game would be fine.

Another 2D Turrican. On XBLA.

Another Body Harvest.

A brand-new Dizzy game. Again on XBLA.

ToeJam & Earl 4. Am I the only one here who preferred Panic on Funkotron to the original?

Proper, 2D, top-down Micro Machines with the silly characters like Walter the fat bastard and Violet Berlin from Bad Influence. On XBLA. With multiplayer. And '96's track editor.

Most of all, though... another Elite game. On PC woth HD graphics. I may never leave the house again if that comes out.

[Rickstilwell1]

I'll throw out an oddball for you

Don't you think it would be great if they made a sequel to it on one of the modern handhelds or Wiiware? If I recall, it is a Nintendo trademarked stand-alone game that could easily turn into a franchise if a sequel was made.

This is actually a real possibility. The company that developed the original games have announced they developing games again and there will be new Oddworld games.

I think Sega has given up on this franchise, and that's just depressing. I'd give my left nut to see a HD Jet Set Radio game.

I am very pleased about the new Donkey Kong Country. I've been wanting a sequel for a long time, and I honestly didn't think it would happen.

[Pezcore343]

I for one want to see Phantasy Star V or a real Phantasy Star Zero that isn't like Online/Universe. Another classic role-playing game Phantasy Star.

[CRTGAMER]

Not Last guardian which is gonna be great, but ICO part 2.

[CRTGAMER]

Oop, a duplicate sorry, how do I delete if I'm the newest post?

[norkusa]

Re-make the original Clock Tower for Wii. CT2 sucked and CT3 didn't feel like a CT game because it had too much action/fighting. Wiimote controls would be perfect for a remake or 'true' sequel though. C'mon Capcom DO THIS!

And a US Beatmania sequel just for the hell of it.

[mobiusclimber]

A lot of my wants have already been mentioned...

Phantasy Star V
Shining Force IV
Shenmue 3
Skies of Arcadia II
Spike McFang 2 (there was actually at least one other game in the series, released on the PC Engine)
Eternal Darkness 2
Crystalis 2

To the poster that said "Shining in the Darkness II," we got a sequel on the Saturn called Shining the Holy Ark, and it's pretty much why I didn't list that game. I'm actually not sure I ought to list ANY Sega games b/c of the old adage "be careful what you wish for." The people who rushed out and bought the NiGHTS sequel on release day know what I'm talking about.

[Howie6925]

I would love for them to finish the Oddworld Quintology.

[eastbayarb]

Metroid 4 (or any other 2D metroid sequel to Metroid Fusion)
Kid Icarus (the NES game was released in 1987 so what's Nintendo's excuse for waiting?)
Castlevania (2D sidescrolling game, not a SOTN style game or 3D game, or remake)

[Swamperon]

The people who rushed out and bought the NiGHTS sequel on release day know what I'm talking about.

Certainly do! It came out next to christmas so I thought I'd treat myself. £35 it cost me.

I soon discovered how inferior it was to the original. If they had just stuck to the original gameplay but had more levels it would have been fine. Sega have a tendency to screw up their old franchises which is why I wish they'd just sell Shining Force to Camelot... :(

Also, Sonic Adventure 3! Although Sonic Colours is looking pretty good.

Metroid: Zero Mission

Kid Icarus sequel coming out as a launch title for the 3DS

Metroid Zero Mission isn't Metroid 4 - it's a remake of the original Metroid. I want to see a sequel (or completely original 2D Metroid game).

I know, but you said "(or any other 2D metroid sequel to Metroid Fusion)"
It came out after Fusion. I consider some "remakes" to be sequels anyways if they change the levels or gameplay in any way. example- Blaster Master:Enemy Below, Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland, Double Dragon Advance, Adventure Island (PS2)...

Shining Force IV

or a

Shining Force III Collection

[speedgtr]

no really a sequel but how about final fantasy 7 or 8 remake..
of course shemue 3,4,5,6,7,8
but maybe legend of dragon 2??

[megasdkirby]

Shenmue 3. I want to put an end to the story, even if it's just released as a novel and not a game. I want to see this game reach it's finale. I love Shenmue and I hope this one day becomes a reality.

Other games I would love to see a sequel to, but probably will never see are:

-A Flying Warriors game
-Golvelliious (release the MSX or enhanced version of part 2, plus if possible a part 3)


And as MSC stated,




-Illbleed 2

The Last Express

[ryborg]

I know a LOT of people (myself included) who would pay serious money for a set of updates to the MtG: Duels of the Planeswalkers game (the MicroProse '90s PC game, NOT the more recent XBox versions). It only includes cards up until The Dark, which is just a shame. The RPG-like elements were really well done, and it's a game I still play, even though it's horribly dated. Someone on the SomethingAwful forums tried this years ago, but bailed, most likely because creating the card engine by yourself is damn near impossible.

[Kiddo]

It'd be nice to have a sequel to Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon/Goemon's Great Adventure. (Or at least for most of the un-exported Japanese releases to be localized.)

I also know at least a few people have been rallying for a Darkstalkers sequel lately for some particular reason. On the note of fighters; Capcom Vs. SNK 3. I'm also still hopeful that someday we'll get an Arc System Works vs. Capcom fighter of some sort...

Perhaps Aerobiz? The last update to that game I have in memory (Aerobiz SuperSonic) has not been an accurate representation of the 2000s decade at all. Same goes for any old game which tried to be "realistic" while at the same time trying to predict the future.

And on the note of one that'll "most certainly never happen", the Old-Cartoon Ninja Turtles - seriously, every Ninja Turtles video game since the original TV Series ended has simply not been able to capture the original appeal - even "Turtles in Time Re-Shelled" seemed to completely lack the original feel of the arcade it was based on, and I'm not just referring to the graphics or sound being changed.

Up until a few months ago Kid Icarus 3 was at the top of my list (and I am somewhat disappointed it's a rail shooter).

I like the original posters choice of Dragon Force 3, but I hope it's better than the second one which pails in comparison to the original.

They made a sequel for the GBA Gunstar Super Heroes

[Swamperon]

I've heard that both of those fail to live up the originals, Guardian Heroes more so. Having said that they are still on my to buy list.

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Scott Pilgrim on PSN

It's a "love letter" to the game, but it's not a sequel or even a spiritual successor. If anything it takes several steps back from what you could do in the NES game.

The GBA game River City Ransom EX is a great follow up/re-imagining to the original, but gimped in its one-player design.

[tom]

River Raid had a sequel

Anyway, I would like Interplanetary Voyage II

[Sammelhammel]

Shadowrun 2 (SNES or on a next gen console but with the same setting - not the Shadowrun which you can get for the 360)

If I remember right, at the end of Shadowrun there was the info that Shadowrun 2 will follow....but it never was released :(

[Manhattan Sports Club]

I've heard that both of those fail to live up the originals, Guardian Heroes more so. Having said that they are still on my to buy list.

I own Gunstar Super Heroes and it was fun but incredibly short and easy. I do like the original Gunstar Heroes better. As for Advanced Guardian Heroes, I have played the GBA game, and although I have never had a chance to try the original, it still seemed noticably mediocre, which is why I haven't bought it yet.

[Rickstilwell1]

I'd also like to see:

X-Men Legends 3
Legacy of Kain 6
Suikoden 6
King's Field 5 (Demon's Souls is too different to count)
Gex 4
Pac-Man World 4
Dark Alliance 3 (in another land away from the forgotten realms because of the copyright issues)
Vandal-Hearts 3 (a real full-length sequel to 2)
Alundra 3

two joke ideas:
Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Battle 9000!!!!! (just kidding. had to say that for laughs)
Halo: Oral-B (well because they have Halo: Reach coming out and that's another brand of toothbrush. that wouldn't be fair if they didn't have a version for both companies.)

agree with the new Oddworld
and am really hoping they follow through with the DS port of Dragon Quest 6.

[InsaneDavid]

While finishing up Shenmue would be great and all, I've said it before so I'll say it again...

Lunar Knights is the sequel to those Boktai games. Here's Lunar 3. And you wonder why they keep remaking the first two games over and over.

And by the way, what was so disappointing about Nights 2?

IMO Marvel Ultimate Alliance deviates too much from the X-Men story to be considered a sequel to an X-Men game. Plus you barely get any X-Men characters, just a handful. Most characters in the game are Avengers. Making more X-Men characters playable would be better than this.

Yes! I'm still waiting on 'Banjo Threeie', thankfully Nuts & Bolts didn't sell particularly well as far as I'm aware so they probably won't continue that 'innovation'.

I'm remember reading Streets of Rage 4 was at one point in development for the Dreamcast but it didn't get very far. Also SM64, DK64 and FF9 have all arguably had/are getting sequels, or as much of a sequel we'll ever see.

Here's Lunar 3. And you wonder why they keep remaking the first two games over and over.

Lunar: Dragon Song will never be a "TRUE" Lunar game in my book. I hated this game and everything it stood for. Horrible battle system. It didn't even feel like I was playing a Lunar game.

I'm still waiting for the REAL Lunar 3. Which means, I good one. LOL.
