I mean outside the known genre, example of good ones are.

Super Mario Kart (well and all mario sports games I suppose.)
Link's crossbow training (don't know if it's good but I heard mostly good reviews)
MK: Shaoilin Monks
Metroid Pinball
Halo Wars (lol maybe?)

Well I can't think of some right now but heres a list of bad ones that come to mind really.
MK: Special forces
C&C: Renegade
Death by Degrees
Soul Calibur legends :lol

Anyone know any others?

 

[Monroeski]

Sonic Spinball! Good game. Wouldn't call it great, but it was enjoyable.

 

[BIG BUBBA]

Sonic Shuffle was a piece of shit.

 

[wayward archer]

dynasty warriors (1v1 fighting game) -> 5 billion different "warriors" sequels and spinoffs (1v1000 strategic beat em ups)

 

[levious]

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

 

[dragonlife]

Good:
Crisis Crore

Bad:
Dirge of Cerberus

 

[K.Jack]

Good:
Final Fantasy Tactics

Bad:
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

ggnore

 

[Link Man]

Super Mario RPG and the Paper Mario series are incredible.

 

[sonicmj1]

Resident Evil: Dead Aim, Resident Evil: Survivor, and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

Spoiler

and Resident Evil 4

 

[ZealousD]

Warcraft. RTS -> MMO

 

[I_D]

Bad: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

TAKE IT BACK!!!!

 

[Antdogg355]

FFXI

 

[eJawa]

Super Mario (classic 2D action) --> Super Mario RPG (traditional RPG) --> Paper Mario 1&2 (RPG with some 2D action) --> Super Paper Mario (mostly 2D action)

The circle is now complete... almost.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Good
Parasite Eve's - Turn based battle system

Bad
Parasite Eve 2 - Real time battle system that takes away all the RPG elements and weapon customization

 

[Durante]

Might and Magic (RPG) -> Heroes of Might and Magic (TBS)

A good transition.

 

[Death_Born]

Good: Mega Man Battle Network (Platformer => RPG)

Bad: Metroid Prime Hunters (FPA => FPS)

 

[Struct09]

Pokemon Pinball for the Game Boy Color. So addicting.

 

[Boerseun]

Good:
Final Fantasy Tactics

Bad:
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

lol no

Both are good, just each in its own way.

 

[TheGrayGhost]

This is confusing. Super Mario Kart is not part of the canon Super Mario series. It is its own series. I thought the title implied canon series' which became a different genre. Such as Super Metroid --> Metroid Prime.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

There's nothing wrong with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

 

[Farnack]

Bad
Final Fantasy 7 -> Ehrgeiz

Mindblowing Awesome
Warcraft 3 -> World of Warcraft

 

[Discipulus]

Good:
StarFox Adventures

 

[Rei_Toei]

Killzone (FPS)
Killzone Liberation (semi top-down action adventure)

Now Guerrilla has to make a Metal Gear-esque game, a Wipeout clone and an RTS in the Killzone universum and I'll be content .

 

[PataHikari]

Good:
Final Fantasy Tactics

Bad:
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

ggnore

There is one major flaw in your post.

FFT and FFTA are in the same genre.

 

[Ripenen]

Guilty Gear Judgement (PSP) was a beat 'em up with GG characters.

Super Puzzle Fighter

SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters

Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble (GC, PSP) was a Melee fighting game.

Metal Gear Acid


EDIT: I forgot Streets of SimCity, a racing combat game set in SimCity 2000.

 

[Haunted]

OP fails for suggesting C&C Renegade was bad.

 

[intheinbetween]

ehrm..

awful:
Chocobo Racing

great:
Samurai Spitits (Samurai Shodown) RPG

 

[RiZ III]

Panzer Dragoon Saga - From shooter to RPG. Best transition evar.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Warcraft.

And boy did it ever succeed.

 

[Link Man]

Good:
StarFox Adventures

YOU TAKE THAT BACK, YOU FILTHY WHORE!

;^)

 

[Discipulus]

YOU TAKE THAT BACK, YOU FILTHY WHORE!

;^)

At least it's better than StarFox Assault & Command

edit: first smiley with a nose awesome

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

lol no

Both are good, just each in its own way.

No.

FFTA is a strategy game, and a horrible one at that. It's not good in anyway.

 

[Mr Jared]

Yes!

 

[MarkusRJR]

I'm surprised no one has said this one yet but...
(Potentially) Bad ---> Castlevania Judgment

 

[sarcoa]

Bad
Final Fantasy 7 -> Ehrgeiz

To be fair, Ehrgeiz was more in line with the Tobal series. It just happened to have a shit ton of FFVII characters included.

 

[cubicle47b]

Mindblowing Awesome
Warcraft 3 -> World of Warcraft

/salute

 

[Munin]

Yes!

Am I missing something or does this cover of a typing game really have a fucking typo on it? :lol

 

[Yottamole]

Great:
Dragon Quest Rocket Slime

Bad...:
Dirge of Cerberus FFVII

Am I missing something or does this cover of a typing game really have a fucking typo on it? :lol

Ha, "as planed..." Nice catch.

To think that there's also The Pinball of the Dead (GBA) and English of the Dead (DS)...this is perhaps SEGA's most random series.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Panzer Dragoon Saga - From shooter to RPG. Best transition evar.

Yes!

No!

 

[Spoit]

Might and Magic (RPG) -> Heroes of Might and Magic (TBS)

A good transition.

HoMM--> Dark Messiah (of might and magic) (FPS)

A not so great transition

 

[Wilsongt]

Shining Force needs to leave the Action RPG stage and go back to SRPG.

 

[Llyranor]

The bastardizations of X-Com and Close Combat come to mind.

 

[PantherLotus]

Dr. Mario and Tetris Attack are perfect examples of pointless but awesome IP use.


Didn't play it, but I heard Star Fox Adventures' transition from shooter to adventure was pretty bad.

 

[Troidal]

Good:
MGS -> MGA
Panzer Dragoon -> Panzer Dragoon Saga

Bad:
Castlevania -> Metroidvania -> a fighting game?
I have to admit SoTN was awesome, but I felt like it didn't need more.

 

[Pachael]

Virtua Quest LOLWTF
DOAXBV LOLWTFx2
Sakura Taisen V Ep.0 LOLWTF x3

Phantasy Star Online (Better, but it's no PSV.)

 

[KevinCow]

Good

Bad

 

[Spoit]

Bad

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Danthrax]

Didn't play it, but I heard Star Fox Adventures' transition from shooter to adventure was pretty bad.

Then you have heard wrong, kind sir.

StarFox Adventures was a good, challenging Zelda clone with some of the best graphics on the GameCube. Its two faults were that it had too many collect-a-thons going on at once,* and it tacked on short, pointless segments of traditional flight combat. They actually needed less flying and shooting in that StarFox game. :lol




*As astutely pointed out here:

 

[Kritz]

I suppose, Shadowrun.

 

[permutated]

The worst: anything Donkey Kong that didn't reside in the Country :lol
