We've all played little known hidden gems; games that you loved that never became super popular, games that need a sequel.

Cubivore

Easily one of the most bizarre titles from the GameCube. Cubivore has a strange feel to it that no other game has really given me since. Its mechanics and general style would work very well on the Switch, I feel.

Sonic Battle

One of my all-time favorite GBA titles, which got hundreds of hours of playtime from me. Sega could create a sequel with many more characters than the original, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Gotcha Force

Probably the least likely of my choices to return, and one of my favorite GameCube titles. Gotcha Force is a blast to play, and I believe it could take off if it were revived today.

What are your gems you'd like to see return?

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Ristar, babyyyyyy

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Crystalis.

 

[rbenchley]

 

[MUnited83]

 

[Syf]

Body Harvest

 

[Creaking]

Shadow of Rome. A remake would be fine too. Hell, even a remaster. I just want a bloody gladiator game with combat mechanics that are deeper than a street side puddle.

 

[-MD-]

 

[Van Bur3n]

Metal Arms (ninja'd)

War of the Monsters

Mercenaries (because Mercenaries 2 never happened)

 

[Malyse]

 

[Dimitri LH]

Yes to this and Sonic Battle! =D

 

[Tokubetsu]

give me a remake of this and the first one, just combine them.

 

[Adam_Roman]

Croc 2 needs a sequel. It's aged incredibly well.

 

[El Odio]

I will say this in every thread like this, BATTALION WARS.

 

[rrs]

Outrun2 and Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People

 

[Lebneney]

Spoiler

If Knack gets a sequel, this one deserves one too...

Thanks a lot Cerny.

 

[DMONKUMA]

 

[DooMAGE]

Mixed Mode was the father of ppt swap mode

 

[Verdre]

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

Super goofy, but fun to play in all its weird FPS, TPS, racing, base building glory.

 

[Lebneney]

Mixed Mode was the father of ppt swap mode

Isn't this pretty much what Puyo Puyo Tetris is?

 

[Exuro]

Extreme sports games aren't so popular anymore, but this game was awesome, and I wanted a sequel.

 

[Timeaisis]

Meteos could use an actual sequel.

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

Something I always found weird was the Cubivore trophy in Melee. Why that game in particular?

EDIT: YES; Meteos needs a sequel yesterday.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Crystalis.

Hell yeah.

I'd like to see a Crimson Skies sequel someday.

 

[DaBargainHunta]

 

[unbuliebubble]

for me, probably any old titles from Level-5 Studio. These 2 in particular

EDIT: LEVEL-5 IF YOU ARE READING THIS. PORT IT TO PC

also maybe this little guy too

a rare unspoken gem of PS2 IMO

 

[TheGreenArrow]

Breakdown.
So gooooooooooood.

 

[Makonero]

Gladius. I'd love a gladiator themed SRPG from a western developer but Lucasarts isn't going to do it.

Also, Outlaws from Lucasarts. So many good IPs in that company.

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

Viewtiful Joe 2's climax:

"Lo, a sweet-ass lookin' castle! Earth's last big threat lies therein, you say? Home to an enemy beyond our imagination, no less?"

"And this radical katana-wielding dude is part of our crew now too?!"

*Capcpom churns out two shitty spin-offs instead after an already underwhelming (to put it lightly) sequel, buries franchise*

This too. Thanks Blizzard for cockblocking this.

Smash Bros. has always referenced minor Nintendo published series/games through trophies. Melee, Brawl and Smash 4 have trophies based on Wonderful 101, Doshin the Giant, The Last Story, Chibi-Robo!, among others. Cubivore isn't really that special.

To counter this point: Cubivore had not been released yet when Melee launched.

 

[Dangansona]

For my final Snowboard Kids reference of the month, lets get a sequel to that please. $20-30, 6-8 slopes, good cast of characters with minor customization.

I will say this in every thread like this, BATTALION WARS.

This would be great too.

 

[Umbooki]

I'm still waiting for the Psi-Ops sequel, but considering the current state of Midway...

 

[TheDinoman]

Well, Animal Crossing wasn't released in the west other when Melee came out, and it too got trophies.

They were just advertising some upcoming games, hence why their "First Appearance" descriptions just said "Future Release". Cubivore came out in early 2002 in Japan and wasn't that well received, so Nintendo abandoned plans of releasing it in the west, but then Atlus stepped up to the plate and got it localized.

 

[TheGreenArrow]

I'm still waiting for the Psi-Ops sequel, but considering the current state of Midway...

YES. I always randomly remember this game every couple of years. It's soooo good.

 

[Kid Heart]

I'd love to see a sequel to this game, but I don't ever think it will happen since as far as I can tell PixelArts hasn't made anything significant since. I don't even know if they are still around any more. :/

 

[Goldboy]

I might be alone on this but I would kill for a sequel to Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. It'll never happen but I can dream

 

[AuthenticM]

 

[Spring-Loaded]

also maybe this little guy too

a rare unspoken gem of PS2 IMO

well...

Another entry in the Suikoden mainline series please.

Yeah, I know Cubivore didn't do so hot sales wise. I've just always had a soft spot for it.

Oh my god this cover is so extra

 

[cryptosporidium]

Destroy All Humans 2

 

[CupONoodos]

Destroy All Humans 2

Did you mean 3?

 

[CJCW]

Mischief Makers. I need more SHAKE SHAKE.

I'm still waiting for the Psi-Ops sequel, but considering the current state of Midway...

I'm curious who owns the IP at this point. I think I heard there's some kind of freeware PC version out there somewhere.

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

Mixed Mode was the father of ppt swap mode

Puyo Puyo Tetris

 

[UpUpDownDown]

Crystalis.

How badass would a neogeo version of that game been.

I'm still waiting for the Psi-Ops sequel, but considering the current state of Midway...

Another good one.
