Games you didn't know received sequels

Wtf?
I'll be damned.
I think the really interesting thing about that series is that they are basically the spiritual successor to a Sharp X68000 game named Geograph Seal.
Jumping Flash was awesome though, would love to see another game in the series get released.

Small Brawl was decent. Way better than any of the games 989 put out.
This is basically Budokai 3 but with more characters and no one has ever heard of it.
I did. It was awesome.

I still consider Another World to be one of the finest platormers ever made and a true masterpiece that was light years ahead of it's competition. So the news they made sequel was shocking. Of course, it was SegaCD only, made by different people and a sad shadow of the original game's brilliance...but still.

Not really a sequel to Hydro Thunder though? More like spiritual successor?
The Windows 8/Xbox 360 sequel was ok, nothing special.
Oh and Parappa 2 had a terrible soundtrack. Nothing at all memorable and classic like the original. Almost like it was trying too hard.

it's ok, you managed to slip under the radar whilst everyone was talking amongst themselves
I knew about it back in the day, but it was definitely a billion times more obscure than its predecessor, Zombies Ate My Neighbours.
I wish I never found out this game existed. One of my biggest disappointments in gaming ever. It's not that it doesn't live up to the first game, it's just a terrible game by itself.
Yes, this is real.
I remember seeing this on the shelf in a local GAME store when it came out and wanting it so bad. What was wrong with me?

Guilty Gear 2.
Looks like another one of those failed attempts Ms made to capture the hearts of japanese gamers. Dont they knoy that they mostly piss people off?
For better or worse, the game was considered mediocre and ark focused on expanding the X games.

Hahahahaha. I empathize so much with this statement.

I bought it years back. It was pretty good. Nothing mind blowing, but fairly enjoyable, although I did wonder even then why Anakin the adult is racing rather than doing other, important Jedi stuff. Come to think of it, I still want to know why.
It arrived on EU PSN a few weeks back, might be on the US one too.

This game was apparently Daisuke Ishiwatari's dream project, since he wanted to make something more than a fighter.(sorry if the image is big, but i'm posting from my smartphone and i cant tell)

That certainly backfire given overture's utter obscurity and Xrds universal praise.
On topic for a long time I didnt know about Guilty Gear: Missing Link and thought Guilty Gear X was the first game in the series as it was the first I played.
Edit I got the topic wrong. A real on topic game is Dust strikers, a ds guilty gear game I found out about an hour ago. Looks pretty bad.

As a diehard fan of Capcom's Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse when I was a kid I was flabbergasted when I found out that that Great Circus Mystery starring Mickey Mouse game I kept seeing in my local rental store was actually Magical Quest 2!!!! If I had known this back then I would've rented the shit out of the sequel as well but instead I just re-rented MQ1 a bunch of times whilst ignoring the Circus one. And only the first levels happen on a circus, what the hell Capcom? Way to fuck up the American name!

Vib-Ribbon got a sequel didn't it? In the name of Vib-Ripple
It's basically the same game but instead of music you upload photographs in the game

Chase HQ has a bunch of sequels actually.

You probably don't realize either that both the N64 and GC games are sequels to the original Wave Race which was released on the Game Boy.

Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
Yes, this is real.
This game was so bad it hurt, a shadow of the N64 original. Especially weird that it was made by the same people.
It was pretty bad.

I did not know that they release a numbered sequel on the Game Boy.
I was going to suggest Jade Cocoon 2, but the 5 people who played the original probably all knew.
It's amazing how DC went from being one of Capcom's premier IPs to just plain dead. This was around the same time as DMC2 and Capcom Fighting Jam as well. What was going on with Capcom for them to destroy two of their most promising franchises and their one and only internal crossover fighting game?

Mad TV 2. The original was amazing, but I found out last week there was a sequel... That was only released in Germany. You can actually play the original online now: http://www.madtv-online.com/index
Another fun simulation game was the On The Ball management games. I had the first League and World Cup games, then got 2 for the PC, but it turns out yet again that Germany got at least one more sequel.

Yeah, I was already with my PS3 when I learned about this game. Never played it though.
is this the one where the dude is traveling with that sword banjo type instrument?
No, that's Ephemeral Fantasia aka. Reiselied.

If anything I don't think people realize how many weird offshoots of Tetris there are on the original game boy. Certainly not as popular, but Hatris, Bombliss and Wordtris were all developed by the original Tetris guys. I'm apprised nobody had jumped on bringing Wordtris back into the Mobile market.
Capcom Fighting Jam was a retooled version of a cancelled 2.5D fighting game called Capcom Fighting Evolution; when that project died, they salvaged the systems, recycled a bunch of sprites and rushed out the game in order to recoup some of the cost.
Yoshinori Oni was the guy they brought in to make Jam, incidentally, and one of the reasons he fought so hard to revive SF was because he felt he had to make up for the piece of shit they'd released that had his name on it.

What was always crazy to me about Overture is that it was straight up just a MOBA, even though its original 2007 release basically predates that genre even being a genre (obviously DotA existed just as a free WC3 mod and it was really popular for a mod, but it wasn't really so much a part of the gaming landscape that the average person would recognize most of those gameplay conventions).
It kind of makes you wonder if the game would have been received differently if it had been released several years later and they were able to actually capitalize on that whole genre being kind of a rising star in gaming.

Had no idea there was a second Blinx game until I saw it mentioned on GAF not too long ago.
Dunno if I'm the only one, but I found the difficulty ridiculously hard in this one.

Actually, the 360 sequel, Hydro Thunder Hurricane was amazing. Great tracks and gameplay. I played that game online for like a year before getting rid of my 360.
Does it count that I was surprised to find out Spec Ops: The Line was related to the old and rather unremarkable Spec Ops series?
And that it's actually the 10th entry in that particular franchise?
Because that blew my mind. I thought that series died way back on Playstation.
Also did not know there was a sequel to Full Spectrum Warrior for the longest time.

Didn't know Wish I did.
I don't blame you, man.
Rob Zombie did the soundtrack. Played a little bit of it. Liked the first one more.

Not only that, but there's a third game in the series that didn't receive an American Release until the GBA
It features Donald instead of Minnie and the costumes between characters are actually different.
I would have done the same thing, but when I was a kid I had no idea there were sequels to Magical Quest. It wasn't until years later through emulation that I discovered both of the sequels.

The AI is actually coded to use advanced techniques like combo cancelling. It's seriously no joke.
