Which long-forgotten game would you like to see a sequel to?

[JohnnyBlaze]

I had this idea while on my toilet(I don't know why but all great ideas come from a shit): Which long forgotten game would you like to see a sequel to? By long forgotten, I mean a game that either

A. Had only one entry(i.e. NiGHTS)
B. Was a series at one time but isn't anymore(i.e. Gex, Bubsy)

Here are my top five:

1. NiGHTS Into Dreams
2. Gex
3. Bonk's Adventure
4. Kid Icarus
5. Conker(a sequel, NOT A SHITTY XBOX REMAKE!!)

[cyberfluxor]

You hit it on the head with Bubsy. I'd like to see them go back with the 2D style and the great platforming.

[boatofcar]

The Addams Family.

[Malon_Forever]

Chrono Cross by far. I'd love to see a sequel to that.

[christhegamer]

Blaster Master, not a ps1 game that has faded into oblivion, but a good, fun sequel with a storyline that actaully makes sense x_x

[Atari 5200]

...ROCKY RODENT...NOW!!!

[kentuckyfried]

Military Madness dammit.

I'd also Cardfighters, but there is a DS game coming :)

[Wavelflack]

How about Zillion?

"Butt, spurt, heart, M, butt, spurt, heart, M, butt, spurt, heart, M, butt, spurt, heart..."

Maybe with today's newfangled technology, JJ could actually say it for you while you work your way to the computer?

[RegSNES]

I sure wouldn't mind seeing Virtua Racing make a comeback.

And a nother Zelda game that uses the same style of gameplay as Zelda II: Adv of Link. Screw the haters.

[ryborg]

And a nother Zelda game that uses the same style of gameplay as Zelda II: Adv of Link.

Yeah, I'm with you there.

My friends and I would pay massive amounts of money for a Capcom's Soccer Shootout remake/update.

How about Super Dodge Ball as well? How can it be 2006 and we still don't have a great video dodge ball game since SDB?

VICODIN REHAB ADVICE (http://www.rehab-forum.com/vicodin-rehab/)

[Malon_Forever]

Two other games I was thinking about are Rocket:The Robot on Wheels for the N64, and Space Station Silicon Valley also for the N64. I'd love to see sequels to those.

[Abman]

I would love to see another sequal to the Rocket Knight Adventures series. There was only two games in the series and I have yet to play the second one. But Rocket Night Adventures was an amazing game. And I would love it to have basic 2-D platforming like the first one. But include 3-D jet pack segments.

Other then that I would love to see another Star Tropics games. Zoda's Revenge was only okay and left me begging for more.

Then there is Comix Zone. The game was freakin' excellent and it desearves a second game. It they could nail the comic book image that the first did so well in complete 3-D it would be an amazing blast.

[CosmicMonkey]

NiGHTs into Dreams and Burning Rangers are two Sega games that deserve quality sequels, or at least updated versions of the originals.

Blazing Star on the Neo Geo certainly deserved s sequel. There were rumours of a Last Blade 3, pity that one never showed up too.

And certainly there were rumours of a Metal Slug 3rd Mission for the NGPC. If only....

[mercuris]

I think NiGHTs definately needs a sequel, as well as Super Mario RPG. By that I mean the game needs a sequel in a smilar style as the original and none of the paper mario stuff. (I just couldn't get into them the way I did with the original).

Another series that could use a good revival is Donkey Kong Country (like DKC 1/2/3 for SNES). Some good side-scrolling DK action.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Battletoads. And Garou.

I know, Garou is technically a Fatal Fury game, but it was more of a reboot of the series than a full-fledged sequel. And there's supposed to be a prototype for the sequel somewhere, so who knows.

[starsoldier1]

I really want a sequel to the Guardian Legend: still my favourite NES game out there!

[dairugger]

Actraiser
Popful Mail
Lunar (proper sequel!)
MegaMan classic (continue the story from part 8 with duo)
snatcher
policenauts
salamander
Bonk
Caveman ninja (joe & mac)
Valis
cosmic fantasy

[smork]

Military Madness dammit.

Amen. I don't know why they stopped after the PS1 game. Neo Nectaris for PCE is the shit.

[Richter Belmount]

Terranigma

[GarrettCRW]

Jumping Flash!

[theMot]

Speedball 2

I know they brought out that 2100 rubbish but yeah...

We need a proper Speedball 3... or an update to speedball 2... then again no. its perfect as is :)

[50TBRD]

Burger Time!!! Sponsored by In n Out.

Oh Yay.

I'd also like to see another Desert/Urban Strike. I can never get enough of Super Mario World or Top Down Zelda. I'd like to see an update on the Original Donkey Kong. Strider 3, still a 2D platformer but way longer. A new version of Moto Racer. Lamborghini American Challenge 2, just a dream. And many others.

[Nebagram]

NiGHTS and Burning Rangers provided they're both done properly. A few more immediately spring to mind...

Wonderboy. Oh god. Wonderboy 3 (SMS) done in the style of 3D Zelda= love. That's all there is to it.

Dizzy! About time that little egg saw a bit more love. Codemasters did a new Micro Machines game- V4- and though it kinda raped my childhood Dizzy's appeal was its style. Long overdue a comeback.

Road Rash. God Road Rash 2 was fun on the Mega Drive. More please.

Eternal Champions. One of the best 16-bit fighters there was. Screw Fighting Vipers, give us some proper beat-em-up action, Sega.

[tom]

H.E.R.O. it was crying out to have a sequel

[Dangerboy]

Burning Rangers!
UN Squadron!

Would you believe...

A *real* Vandal Hearts sequel...not that broken #II thing.

[googlefest1]

Zillion ( like the first one not the second)

starcontrol 2 (can't count 3 as a sequal i just can't)

psycho fox ( i think it could be made into a nice 3D platformer)

Wing Commander (with FMV )

phantasy star (non mmorpg)

[Jimmy]

1. Battletoads. Yeah, there's been plenty of sequels, but I would like to see a 3D version. Maybe using an engine like God of War.

2. Rocket Knight Adventures. Anyone who's played this understands how hardcore it is. It had two sequels, both completely different but both named Sparkster. One released for the SNES and one for the Genesis. But now I want to see a 3D remake for the Wii!

3. Final Fantasy Tactics- No, not Final Fantasy Tactics Advance... that game kind of sucked. I liked the original for the PSone. I don't care if it has the same story, I just want the gameplay.

[CosmicMonkey]

Good to see that NiGHTs and Burning Rangers are getting plenty of love.

But there's one game that deserves a really well made sequel over all others: Skies of Arcadia.

And one game I would like to see on the Atomiswave hardware would be a sequel (of sorts) to SNK vs Capcom and Gals Fighters on the NGPC: SNK vs Capcom: Gals Fighters. Imagine all the lovely Capcom and SNK ladies from all the different games slugging it out. They really could go to town on this and make an incredible fighting game.

[cmstar]

Neutopia (non-zelda zelda games rock)

Zillion

Star Control (a second game like the first, combat stragegy oriented).

[rbudrick]

Blaster Master, not a ps1 game that has faded into oblivion, but a good, fun sequel with a storyline that actaully makes sense

Yeah, like a kid chasing his radioactive frog into an underground world and riding a nuclear powered craft around to defeat an evil menace makes sense. Screw sense, the first game ruled!

I was playing WarioWare twisted the other day and one of the souvenirs I got was (I think) a little figure of Pit from Kid Icarus. Words flashed on the screen to the tune of "This is the closest you'll ever get to a Kid Icarus sequel! HA-HA!" Pretty funny. :)

But here's mine (in order of importance):

Kid Icarus
Phantasy Star (a real RPG, none of this online shit).
Alex Kidd
Double Dragon (no one-on-one Street Fighter-esque fighting games, either) Advance was pretty awesome, but I was thinking a current-gen machine.
The Guardian Legend
Faxanadu
Adventure of Link...you know, a sequel done in the same side-scrolling vein

-Rob

[SeGaFiEnD]

1. Kid Icarus
2. Herc's Adventure
3. Bobble Bobble

Even though Kid Icarus is a rumor I wont get my hopes up for any of these but one can dream.

[staxx]

Here's my list:

Nights
Axelay
Forgotten Worlds
Space Ace (Arcade)
Ninja Masters (Neo Geo)
Ninja Warriors
Hellfire (PC Engine)
Ninja Spirits
Kung Fu Master (old skool)
Shadow Dancer (yeah a sequel including the dog)

[Jumpman Jr.]

Burger Time!!! Sponsored by In n Out.

My answer before even entering this thread was "Diner" (In case you didn't know, Diner is the sequal to Burgertime [on the INTV]).
A sequel to Diner would make my day.

[Ed Oscuro]

Burning Rangers!
UN Squadron!

Would you believe...

A *real* Vandal Hearts sequel...not that broken #II thing.
Seconded on the first two games. Great titles. Although I'd like to see a Battle Rangers update, as well.

Did anybody mention Truxton II yet? Or how about Twin Cobra II?

[RegSNES]

Would love to see a UN Squadron sequel... with infiinite continues. The game was hard enough but they gave you limited continues. Ouch.

And I will only accept a Battletoads sequel if there is a level where we can brutally beat the creators of all the bike/racing levels. I'm talking massive carnage-style beatings, folks. The kind that would make a riot seem like a mere squable.

[Dangerboy]

I beat it with the original plane, never bought another one. I *loved* that game . ^_^

[Red Warrior]

Clash at Demonhead for the NES seriously needed a sequel. That game just flat out rocked on all levels. I must've played it through 20 times back in the day.

I think I'd prefer to see its sequel on the GBA or DS though. Heck, I'd take a 3D one too. Oh screw it... how 'bout both! Here's to weird anime NES games that need sequels! :cheers:

[Alucard79]

I would have to say Symphony Of The Night, Actraiser, and Discworld just to name a few.

[bunbunz23]

I would have to say Blazing Lasers and Altered Beast

[VicViper]

Super Mario Bros 2 (US). SMB 3, SMW, and other games in that vein don't count either.

[mailman187666]

I would have to go with Panzer Dragoon Saga, another PD RPG would get plenty of love. Another 2D metroid game would make me happy. I would say more 2d action/rpg style castlevania but they are making Portrait of Ruin already. I definately agree with NiGHTS. Killer Instinct, I don't know about everyone else, but I miss the Ultra Combos. Thats all I can think of at the moment but i know there is a whole bunch of other ones I'd like to see again.

[youruglyclone]

My friends and I would pay massive amounts of money for a Capcom's Soccer Shootout remake/update.

I would shell out cash for that...

and a Next Gen Karate Champ

Vic Tokai seems to be out of the game business though...sucks because I'd like to see another Battle Mania, myself LOL

Lots of GREAT suggestions in this thread. Hopefully we'll see some of 'em (like another Panzer Dragoon Saga) eventually.

[Hokkus]

Ecco the Dolphin. In 2d. It's a shame that Appaloosa is always remembered as a raper of Contra series since they also made two of the best console adventure games ever.

Alex Kidd. Even if I hate those janken matches, Alex Kidd deserves a comeback.

Burning Rangers. One of my favorite Saturn games.

...and Nights. Anything less than the best game ever would be disappointment.

[Chrome]

EARTHBOUND! (in the US that is)

Desert/Urban strike
Chuck Rock
Excitebike - 64 and excite truck do not count

Later,
Chrome...

[Daltone]

I'd like to see a sequel to... General Chaos, Speedball 2 and Tex Murphy: Overseer.

[PingvinBlueJeans]

Like some of you here, I'd love to see a new Kid Icarus or Alex Kidd game. I also heard Psycho Fox and Zillion mentioned. All are some of my favorites. :)

Regarding Kid Icarus, Shigeru Miyamoto all but confirmed a sequel in this interview (most have probably seen this):
http://cube.ign.com/articles/617/617000p2.html

As far as Alex Kidd and Psycho Fox, it seems unlikely, given the comments of Reiko Kodama in this article:
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3152778

[LAGO]

A sequel to Brigandine would be awesome. They released the Grand edition in Japan but it only allowed multiplayer and the playing of the Esgares empire without the code.

And i'll second Altered Beast.

[Mattiekrome]

NES Crystalis and for some reason I think Kid Nikki needs a sequel LOL

[Push Upstairs]

Desert/Urban strike.

So "Jungle Strike", "Soviet Strike", and "Nuclear Strike" don't count?

[Soviet Conscript]

beat em and eat em

they can call it wack em and snack em

Land Stalker: yeah i know climax is no more but couldn't some body else do it?
Darkstalkers/Vampire Savior: afther the 3rd one i realy hunger more of it :love:

[j_factor]

I would love to see a sequel to Master of Darkness (aka Vampire).

[JohnnyBlaze]

I would have to say Blazing Lasers and Altered Beast

There are sequels to both games:

Blazing Lazers:

Space Megaforce(SNES)


Altered Beast:

Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms(GBA)
Juuohki: Project Altered Beast(PS2)(Japan Only)

[j_factor]

Project Altered Beast came out in Europe too.

[×FR3DD×]

Hey! How about Space Harrier?

-I think they should build a new R.O.B. for the Wii to play downloadable games like Gyromite and Stack-Up..

[staxx]

There already is a Space Harrier 2.
As for Truxton 2, there is a sequel also called Tatsujin (original Truxton name) 2. It was for the arcades and the FM Towns Marty.

[koster]

Game sequels I'd like to see:

Body Harvest
Herzog Zwei
Snatcher
Panzer Dragoon Saga (even just a remake would be fine)

[itobandito]

big fan of the Desert Strike, Nuclear Strike, Soviet Strike series, would like to see a modern redition of those.

[Frica89]

Punch-out!!- A new game on the Wii featuring motion-sensing boxing gloves would be awesome beyond comprehension.

Earthbound- in the US, of course

Startropics

Road Rash

Jet Force Gemini

Space Station Silicon Valley

[×FR3DD×]

-Alex Kidd in Miracle World II
-Gyruss II

[×FR3DD×]

Anyway, I'd like to see a remake/sequel/upgrade to Chack'n Pop. Yeah, I know the original isn't perfect, but I believe that deep down in the game's core is a gameplay mechanic that could rock the world... if it was implemented better.

True. True.
But I did not had the chance to play it on the arcade and I doubt it came out here. Sega should do a new port for it rather than the 'Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 20: Space Harrier Complete Collection'' on PS2 which is not complete without Planet Harriers..

I played that in arcades, great game. Sega "promised" we'd get a Dreamcast port at one point. Then later said they would not port it because it's too short.

18 Wheeler and Charge 'N Blast were released in the US about two months later.



One hit wonders I'd love to see a sequel to:

Crystalis
Destination Earthstar
Iron Tank: The Invasion of Normandy (this game is so much more than the Tank/TNK III arcade game it started out as a "port" of)
Magician Lord
Realms of the Haunting
Shapeshifter
Silent Debuggers
Zero Tolerance

[diskoboy]

Zillion
Kid Icarus
Xbox Ninja Gaiden
Bionic Commando (NES version)
Blaster Master
NiGHTS
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Robotron: 2084
Swordquest
River Raid
Fantasy Zone
Zaxxon.

I honestly think Zaxxon would make a pretty good translation to current or next-gen consoles since the original was pseudo-3-D, anyway..

[Neo Rasa]

Zillion
Blaster Master
River Raid
Zaxxon.

These all had (albeit horrendous) sequels.

[j_factor]

Zillion
Blaster Master
River Raid
Zaxxon.

These all had (albeit horrendous) sequels.

I don't think I've played the sequel to River Raid, but of the other three, I'd think only Blaster Master had horrendous sequels. Zillion 2 may have been a big let down, but it wasn't a horrendous game IMO; I found it to be reasonably playable. Out of Zaxxon's three sequels, I wouldn't say any of them are horrendous, although the original is definitely superior.

[Neo Rasa]

To be more specific, I was thinking of the Genesis Blaster Master 2 (which somehow I loved when I first got it, but I like it less and less the more I try to get into it) and Zaxxon's Motherbase 3000 (Zaxxon comes to 3D and.....your altitude is now a constant?!).

I actually am probably one of the few people that really likes Blasting Again on the PSX, though the consensus seems to usually be that it's terrible. Enemy Below on the GBC is a perfectly good game though it doesn't really bring anything new to the table (while changing too much to really be considered a port).

Zillion 2 I really dislike, maybe I'll get over it someday. Personally I think this one has the most potential since it was the least developed of the games I quoted. A new Zillion game (or even a Zero Mission sort of remake) made for any system would be grand.



River Raid II, if you've never played it just stay away. ;)

[RegSNES]

Jet Force Gemini has got to be one of the most underappreciated games of all-time.

A Double Dragon game that does not suck. Likewise for the Final Fight series.

Little Mac needs to come out of retirement. Are you reading this, Nintendo?

[diskoboy]

Zillion
Blaster Master
River Raid
Zaxxon.

These all had (albeit horrendous) sequels.

I know - but some deserve new sequels.

Especially Zaxxon and Zillion. Super Zaxxon was a pretty good sequel. Motherbase 3k sucked. I knew about Zillion 2, but never played it. So I can't really judge how good or bad it was. But the original was so much fun.

[BillKunkel]

Have to agree that new versions of the Strike games (Desert, Soviet, etc.) would be interesting -- but then I played the sequel to one of my all-time favorite games -- Toejam & Earl -- on the Xbox and, feh, it was really soggy seconds. I'd take the Genesis platform sequel long before I'd play the newer game.

Remakes and sequels to retro classics have had a history of disappointment in the game business. Anyone recall the pitiful attempt to "update" Archon? Or all those great 2D platform games that sucked in 3D?

Rather than sequels to games like Military Madness and Herzog Zwei, why not simply play the superior games they inspired? Military Madness and Herzog Zwei invented the RTS genre but Westwood and Blizzard moved on from there.

In fact, my favorite game from the PlayStation generation, the undeservedly-forgotten Red Asphalt (Interplay) would probably be LESS fun to play if it were remade. Most truly great games manage to accomplish their magic in whatever format they are born in and later attempts to "freshen them up" seem to fall flat.

And it absolutely cracks me up that people want to see sequels to bombs like Psycho Fox. Whatever floats your boat, but did that game sell, what, six copies or something at the time of its release?
