They had that, lol
I think the purpose of this thread is to name games on the NES that SHOULD have had a sequel on the PCE but didn't.

For example: Contra.

Ah point taken, yea the subject line is sort of misleading until you read the fine print.  =)

Definitely Ninja Turtles "5" with 5 player support adding Casey Jones.

In addition to the other fine suggestions, how 'bout sequels for Micro Machines, R.C. Pro Am, a platformer Batman, A Boy and His Blob, Paperboy, Bionic Commando, and Tetris?

Tetris? PCE got Columns, which everyone knows is so much better than Tetris. :roll: :lol: Seriously though, Columns is good too in it's own way.

Would Legendary Axe be like a spiritual successor to Astyanax? :-k The two are very much alike gameplay wise.

Legendary Axe predates both the arcade and Famicom version of Astyanax. But it is the ultimate version of that style of game. Which isn't saying much since the Astyanax pale in comparison to LA. :P

Fire Emblem lol

It would've been interesting to see a Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior game on PCE, in all seriousness.  Least we got Falcom's franchises.

Well, I would have loved Dragon Quest III PCE.  So hard.

In all honesty, if the Turbo had gotten more Famicom ports it would've all but rendered the NES obsolete.

I wonder what a PCE version of Action 52 would've been like!  :lol:

You know, the whole Falcom thing really confuses me. They released many games in the same series that didn't play anything like each other. Seems like they should have chosen a naming scheme that told you something about the play style of the game so you wouldn't have to buy blind.

I would loved to have seen more Hucard RPGs, especially from big-name series. Sure, there were lots of CD and SCD RPGs, but if the NES could do fantastic RPGs, so could the PCE on Hu.
