Maybe I want another Klonoa. I mean there have only been two in the main entries(not counting GBA titles) and damnit I want another one.

What completely gets me is that even if RKA got a sequel it wouldn't be RKA 2. It'd turn out to be Sparkster 2 or some shit like that. It was bad enough that Sparkster was re-designed to look like some xtreme idiot with hair that makes it look like his head is on fire but the gameplay just totally misses the point in both sequels. The controls have been changed around, the levels are long as hell and filled with repetition, and those games just focus far too much on the rocket pack.

The thing is Sparkster is supposed to be a Possum with a rocket-pack, not a rocket-pack wearing Possum. Sure RKA has a few instances where the pack is required but for the most part using it properly is up to the player. In fact the few instances where the pack is required serve more as tutorials than anything else as they give an idea of what the pack can be used for and how it works, then giving the player free reign to do as they please.

It's like how the later Sonic games forced Sonic into these levels where he needs speed to survive. It's no longer an advantage it's just a necessity. That's not interesting game design at all. It's hardly a wonder why the only people that talk about the sequels are the ones who never played the original.

Hit the nail on the head, my friend.

...and I swear, when I was reading those first two paragraphs, Sonic immediately came to mind. :lol

I want a Klonoa on PS3 and also a sequel to I-Ninja. Other than that, I wouldn't mind a new Haven: Call of the King.

Only one other person in this entire thread.

Seriously GAF, you fail and I hate all of you.

 

[HUELEN10]

OMG I LOVE YOU!

The GBA titles are awesome, I don't know why you don't count them

 

[djtiesto]

I'd love to see a next-gen attempt at this.

They were supposedly working on a DC sequel to this, but it got canned.

 

[KevinCow]

Even me

Even you. You should have brainwashed the rest of them to see the awesome of I-Ninja, but you didn't.

 

[Coolio McAwesome]

This is a bit of an unconventional answer, but I feel that Doki Doki Panic (better known as Super Mario Bros. 2 in the USA) is in desperate need of a proper sequel. I know a lot of people looked at the game as the black sheep in the Mario series, but there is no doubt that it was one of the most creative platformers of its era. There really hasn't been another game like it, and it's a shame. I miss the awesome shortcuts, the Arabian themes, the multiple characters, and the ability to pick enemies up and throw them. One minute you'd be flying on a magic carpet, and the next you'd be digging through sand or bombing through walls. The game was full of imagination and it's a shame that many of the central themes in the game weren't used again.

 

[CTLance]

I forgot: Snake Rattle'n'Roll. It was a platformer. Kind of.

 

[AFreak]

They are good, but they aren't a part of the main line...like GBC Zelda/ Metal Gear Ac!d.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

It is hilarious the amount of games in this thread already have sequels.

Listing Klonoa? Has a sequel.

Gex?

Rocket Knight Adventures?

They've got sequels.

If we only listed great platformers that never had any sequels, this thread would have been done after 5 posts.

 

[firex]

did they make a CoolSpot 2?

I seem to remember they did, and it was a pretty generic 90s sidescroller. a bit unremarkable.

 

[Ettie]

Jumping Flash 3
Actraiser sequel that doesn't suck.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Also,

Sly Cooper 2 & 3 need not apply

Bitches...

Nexus. Great space battles and graphics that are still good today. The tech demo for Nexus 2 looked amazing.

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

Obligatory Maximo.

One sequel was nowhere NEAR enough.

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

Yep.

I saw pics once many moons ago. Looked hot.

 

[Somnid]

In this thread we list games that had sequels that we didn't bother to play but bitch about them as if they didn't.

 

[bosx2]

 

[polyh3dron]

Does this count as a platformer?

EDIT: oh fuck I was beaten.

 

[speculawyer]

This would include a very large number of platformers that don't seem to have made it to this generation. Banjo-Kazooie, Jack & Daxter, Sly Cooper, etc.

Tomba 3

 

[ChoklitReign]

No Kid Icarus?

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

No Kid Icarus?

A sequel to that game would basically be Zelda: Flying Edition anyway.

Close enough and definitely worthy.

 

[..pakbeka..]

Adventure of Little Ralph;

Kirby Canvas Curse

 

[MyEpitomeCliché]

Did Karnov get a sequel?

 

[permutated]

YES!

 

[Warren Ellis]

the two sparksters were two good games, and the snes one was way harder than rocket knight adventures.

 

[captmcblack]

Conquest of The Crystal Palace.
Digger T. Rock.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Tomba needs yearly sequels.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

The answer:

you better pray that climax really is working on that shit, or else you're gonna pay for reminding me! >:|

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Took this long for someone to say this? FUCK this game screams for a sequel. One of the most unique platformers ever.

 

[ToD_]

Puggsy for the Genesis / Mega Drive.

 

[Huggy]

There was this PSOne game that had you as a police dog in mech, catching criminal cats and putting them in your backpack. You could shoot bubbles at them to trap them.
Man, I loved that one.
