NiGHTS sequel coming to Wii!

[Kitsunexus]

I've seen the commercials and love them. However he still looks like the people I've mentioned.

Seriously though, your 'since the original already exists, you have nothing to worry about' philosophy is how I approach sequals, remakes, etc of any kind. 

Which is why I can live with an adult Valis game existing.

Same here, the hentai Valis game isn't going to alter my opinion on the previous games. I think one important game to me is the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. That game holds special nostalgia to me and is one of my all time favorites. Even though there are a lot of craptastic Sonic games now, it doesn't change my feelings towards the original game one bit. Of course there are times where a sequel can prove to be even better (though I am having a hard time thinking of one at the moment, but I assure it's possible!).

The hentai Valis game is offical? Why don't they do this with more games?

StarFox...

Have you seen screenshots of that Valis porn game?  The amount of disgusting fetishes it has in the game is staggering.

Like I said in that other thread, it still gives me nightmares.  Thanks, Hyperguy!

No, that's just exploratory freedom.

Ahh, great examples.

Here are awesome examples of where the sequels are better than the originals.

-Thunder Force 2 (they just kept getting better and better)
-Revenge of Shinobi (most people prefer it over the original Shinobi)
-Shinobi III (ditto)
-Super Fantasy Zone
-Castlevania 3 (I pretend that part 2 does not exist)
-Super Hang-On
-Virtua Fighter 2
-Super Mario Bros 2 (US version, I do not enjoy the original SMB)
-Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Have you tried Thunder Force One? I've always wondered if its any good.

Although I can see how most people would consider the sequels to Shinobi to be better than the original, I don't consider them real sequels(to Shinobi One, not each other), since they're so different from original the Rolling Thunder'esque gameplay.

I think you mentioned in another thread that you prefer the first SMS Fantasy Zone to the sequel. But FZ2 is my favorite, although I haven't really tried Super' and haven't played enough of the Game Gear game.

I think Keranu was talking about direct sequels though... which still doesn't change the fact that sometimes developers don't get a game right until they've ripped off millions of 'fans' with a few experiments (I'm still waiting for the first good game from many hit series).

Virtua Fighter 2 is a great example. Its still my favorite VF game.

Wrath of Khan is an easy one, since the original wasn't very good in the first place and there's no 'magic' to try to beat.

GTA III, Duke Nukem 3-D, Super Smash Bros. Melee...

Although Duke Nukem 3D is a better game than the side scrollers, its like comparing Mario Kart to SMB.

Yeah I was mostly referring to direct sequels, but it's ok.

[/QUOTE]I gotta disagree, I thought the original run n' gunning Duke Nukem games were good already. 3-D was good too, but like you said, it's not so comparable to the originals.

From what little I've played and seen others play of the good ole 2D'ers, I don't think they're bad at all. I just think that if I was forced to compare them fun-wise, I'd probably go for '3D.

A proper sequel that could improve on the 2D games, would be cool if it was "Legacy of the Clash at Olympanadu" 'ish.

I'd just say more like NES Rambo, but most people don't get that game and too many people only respond positively if you use one of those retard mash ups of the few 'that type of game' games that we're told are okay to like.

[Kitsunexus]

All the Dukes had good gameplay, albeit in different styles.

Duke Nukem 3-D though, had personality, humor, great technology for the time, and the most intuitive editor for any FPS ever.

[GUTS]

NES Rambo had really good art.
