TWEWY, Tearaway, Ni no Kuni, and Hotel Dusk don't fit the criteria.

Anachronox was also re-released on Steam and GOG as well.

 

[rezn0r]

Braid and Limbo were released exclusively on 360.

Still goes against what OP said, I feel like I have Limbo on 6 platforms at this point, I know I've played through it on at least 3.

Ah man, ya'll left out Willy Beamish Sega CD? And Snatcher.

While I really love both games (and Sega CD in general) both were out before their Sega CD ports, Snatcher was on a whole lot of systems. A lot of SCD games were actually ports. One of my favorite systems though!!

 

[SaggyMonkey]

It was on Xbox too so nope.

OP sets oppressive rules to ignore Psi-Ops. (to me one and done is just a great game that got no sequels... platform restrictions are for communist threads!)

 

[Qwark]

Isn't the PSM version a completely different game? I thought it was some grid based strategy title or some shit.

Yep, plays much differently, still part of the same franchise though.

 

[Peltz]

I love this topic. It's so strict and it really makes you think about some of the unique/fine points of some console libraries.


The ones I can think of adding:

Maboshi's Arcade (WiiWare)
Pinball Quest (NES)
Metal Storm (NES)
Fire Striker (SNES)
Robotreck (SNES)


Are arcade ports disqualified? If not, please include these arcade/console exclusives:
Border Down (Dreamcast)
Cosmic Smash (Dreamcast)

Firebugs!

 

[Sylverstone14]

One Way Heroics (PC) was a pretty awesome experience.

 

[Moss]

Space Station Silicon Valley.

 

[Cameron122]

Since War of the monsters was released on PSN, I am going to sing praise towards Gotcha Force.

 

[Phediuk]

I don't think the Remote Play rules Tokyo Jungle out, I think the fact that there's a PSM version of the game rules it out.

Nice catch, removed it from the list.

 

[Aceun]

That's not part of a long existing franchise?

True story. Didn't catch that part

In that case, Second Sight would be my other pick!

 

[Small Mailman]

Man I Ioved Haunting Ground. It gave me nightmares for weeks. And this was 2 years ago!!

 

[Stevey]

So do I. But those were released long after. Is that the equivalent of a remaster?

Not sure, but I'm pretty sure OP means games that only released once.

 

[John Kowalski]

Antichamber.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Otogi: Myth of Demons is the one I MOST want to get on another system. It isn't even backward compatible with the 360 so you have to have the original Xbox to play it.

I remember loving the demo, but never played the full game. I think it was a From Software game and I remember thinking it had really awesome environmental deformation. Slamming enemies into the ground would cause craters and destroy buildings.


And for one that doesn't qualify because of the "no-multiplatform" rule, but Metal Arms: Glitch in the System was a fantastic one-off game from the Xbox/PS2/Gamecube generation.

Really solid shooter controls (basically mimicked Halo in third person), great variety (vehicle levels, boss encounters, playing as different characters, "jacking" into enemy robots), body part specific damage on the enemies (blowing away their arms and legs), and a really great sense of humor.

 

[dofry]

Eternal darkness is the best answer. Amazing game that deserves continuation.

Some of the games suggested are way too new to be even considered. Sunset as a good example.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Godhand.

If you say it doesn't count because it was released on PSN as PS2 classics I will dragon kick your ass into the milky way

Space Station Silicon Valley.

There was a Gameboy Color version few people seem to remember

 

[meppi]

NiGHTS into Dreams.

What do you say? There was a sequel? Now, that's crazy talk!

 

[Scipio]

Ghost Trick
Ghost Trick
Ghost Trick

 

[javadoze]

There is a severe lack of Ghost Trick on that list.

Better get on that...

The best Puzzle/PointnClickAdventure game aside from the Ace Attorney games (written by those games' writer). You won't regret it.

 

[THe_DeiCiDe]

Mystic Defender-Genesis
loved that game

 

[IbukiLordSA]

The Wonderful 101
3D Dot Game Heroes
Bujingai

Don't know if Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars would count.

 

[Jaguarandi]

Shadow Squadron - 32X
Cyber Speedway - Saturn
Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest - GCN

Cyber Speedway is still my favorite racer to this day. Shadow Squadron made owning a 32X worth it.

 

[disappeared]

Stretch Panic - PS2
L.O.L. (Lack of Love) - Dreamcast

Ghost Trick was ported to iOs.

Sorry I couldn't get here earlier.

I could have saved you all a lot of time. It's Nidhogg.

Thought of a new one.

Jeanne D'arc on PSP.

Edit: Nevermind, already listed.

 

[Bill Rizer]

Has

been already said?

One of the absolute best platform games ever. Pure genius.

 

[Phediuk]

Alas, Freddy Pharkas had to be removed, as there's a Mac version.

Also, took out Sunset Overdrive, as it's a bit too soon to say there won't be a sequel.

 

[Gorger]

Brute Force.

The true savior of THE XBOX

 

[Stanng243]

The two that stick with me are from the PS1:
Skullmonkeys
Wu-Tang Shaolin Style.

 

[Aztechnology]

Nevermind

why does it have to be single platform?

MY MAN! LOVED this game, one of the only games to NAIL the flowing and flowery fighting styles seen in chinese swordplay flicks.

 

[Stormus]

Red Dead Redemption

Perfect Dark

Bloodborne

 

[fushi]

Ranger X is my first thought when I read the thread title.

Then I read the OP and realized I somewhat misunderstood the thread's intentions, but Ranger X still fits.

Game is the bomb.

Also, SubTerrania fits the bill.

Red Dead Redemption

Perfect Dark

Read the OP again. Those games have sequels.

Also, doesn't the Heavy Rain Move Edition classify as a remaster?

 

[Grakl]

Edit: never mind

 

[f0lken]

Another gem was this

Legitimately a good game

 

[Devilgunman]

E.V.O.: Search for Eden

Bahamut Lagoon

Africa

Sadly, had no idea that Perfect Dark had a sequel. There isn't yet a sequel for Red Dead Redemption, or at least has it been officially announced...

Also, for the record SubTerrania was a not a good game. The controls were terrible. Honestly one of the most frustrating games I've ever played.

 

[Iacobellis]

Not sure how you forget Bully in that list. My vote would go to Beetle Adventure Racing!.

 

[manueldelalas]

Demon's Soul has 2 sequels. Secret of Evermore doesn't deserve a spot, it's bad and it's part of the mana series, FF MQ is the same. Terranigma is the third part of the Soul Blazer series.

 

[Devilgunman]

Not sure how you forget Bully in that list.

Because it isn't qualified. Read OP.

.

Red Dead is an established franchise.

 

[Meneses]

Not sure if it fits the criteria, but God Hand.

Astal (Sega Saturn). Awesome plataformer, great music and art style.
