Multi-platform release.

 

[Deadstar]

Sacrifice for me. I can't believe this game didn't get ripped off by anyone. It was such a genius concept. If I ever get a billion dollars I will fund a spiritual successor myself or I will buy the IP outright.

 

[TalOrtRal]

I second Eternal Darkness, Journey, and Jeanne D'Arc.

I also submit Crystalis for NES. Love that game.

It had an HD remaster.

 

[TalOrtRal]

plus hd re-release

This topic would really be a whole lot more interesting without limiting the rereleases and ports of the same game.

 

[Novocaine]

Yeah Demon's Souls.

Gravity Rush too but soon that won't count.

 

[GRIMREEFZ]

SPECOPS THE LINE!!

 

[DangerMouse]

Nice one. Bought this for the Range Murata main character designs (and MGS similarity), was really cool. Still love Sheila's design.

 

[Train of Midnight]

 

[The Albatross]

I don't think that Demons Souls should count unless we're pretending that Red Dead Redemption is not a sequel to Red Dead Revolver, or that it won't have another entrant in the series with a similar name.

My choices that I don't see in the OP...

• The Warriors

Not sure if R* ever re-released this. I would have said Bully, but it got a remaster on 360.

 

[Gameboy415]

I noticed Devil Dice for PS1 in the OP, but it actually had a direct sequel on PS2 called 'Bombastic' (in the US):

I was going to suggest adding EVO: Search for Eden for SNES to the list but it's essentially a remake of the Japan-only PC-98 game "46 Okunen Monogatari: The Shinka Ron". :S

 

[Shaanyboi]

Yo, where's Gladius? That game was fantastic.

Edit: wait... multi-platform doesn't count? Boo

 

[Kirye]

Tough one but I'll give the vote to Mischief Makers. I would've said W101 but I'd like to believe that there'll be a sequel one day!

 

[illadelph]

I know the answer

one of the most underrated games of all time, and like a proto-GTA III in many ways

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

I never got to play the full game but I had a blast with the demo

 

[Baleoce]

Planescape: Torment

EDIT - Oh wait, Torment: Tides of Numenera is being made. Forgot about that. Conkers Bad Fur Day? Actually no. For me personally, it would be Body Harvest on the N64

 

[Akuun]

Uniracers on SNES.

 

[slavesnyder]

Gregory horror show
Ghost trick

 

[Phediuk]

Okay, OP is up to date with complete lists for North American libraries of the NES, Genesis, SNES, PS1, N64, PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox.

 

[Phediuk]

Baseball Simulator 1.000 has a sequel on SNES called Super Baseball Simulator 1.000

There were also several other sequels on SNES that were released in Japan only.

Thanks for catching that mistake. Removed it.

 

[barneystuta83]

Body Harvest is a great shout.

3D Open world was barely a thing in 1998, at least not like it is today.

DMA design went on to become Rockstar North, and you can see early GTA open world influence in Body Harvest.

 

[Magnet_Man]

This award goes to Ghost Trick.



A brilliant, charming, sweet and hilarious tale with some truly immersive gameplay.

The most correct answer there will ever be.

RIP friend :'(

 

[Newman96]

Oh man I loved Lost Odyssey so much, what a game.

 

[Version 3.0]

Scanning down that list, these caught my eye as damn good games that I enjoyed immensely:

Blast Corps
Eternal Darkness
3D Dot Game Heroes

 

[schaft0620]

Nailed it

 

[mgs2master2]

The most correct answer there will ever be.

It would be if it didn't come out on ios

 

[vagabondarts]

Conquest of the Crystal Palace
NES

 

[injurai]

Did Shadow of the Colossus not count for PS2? Surely It's not considered part of Ico on account of the aesthetic and color palette.

Its on PS3 too.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Going to argue this one - Ivalice is a fairly prominent FF setting.

Ok? It's not telling any kind of FF story or lore.

 

[BLUElightCory]

Eternal Darkness gets my vote. Honorable mention to Demon's Souls if we're not counting the Dark Souls games.

 

[oSoLucky]

Coming in to this thread I was thinking Jet Force Gemini, Uniracers or Stunt Race FX. Good to see they're all eligible. I have to say Uniracers for my personal vote based purely on fun factor.



Wait, was Quest 64 the sequel to something?

Anyone who doesn't answer "Vanquish" is either lying, not telling the truth, or just fucking ugly.

Anyone who does answer Vanquish doesn't read the rules.

 

[Mozz-eyes]

I thought it was PS3 only?!

*edit

Huh. 360 too. Never knew.

 

[rhino4evr]

Uniracers. Still can't believe Nintendo never made a sequel or remake. I don't even think it's Been available on VC. Quality game. Tony hawk before Tony hawk

 

[zlatko]

The Order 1886 thread?

 

[oSoLucky]

It's in my opinion in the top 5 most underrated games of all time. I remember renting it from Blockbuster, then saving allowance for 5 weeks to be able to buy it. The game was so good, and presented a nice challenge on top of that. I must have logged over 300 hours in that game.

 

[moomoo14]

I can't decide between Zack & Wiki, Radiant Historia, or Gravity Rush (although the latter seems to be getting a sequel).

Eternal Darkness is a good choice, too.

 

[TheYanger]

I definitely don't think that a game that released one time on multiple systems simultaneously (or close to) should be excluded. But I like thei dea of the thread in general. To me that limits a lot of clear 'one and done' type games from more modern eras.

Yes. I remember it really well. Seemed like a simple game on the surface, but quickly got crazy challenging. The game was more about tricks then actual racing. Loved it.

 

[Aroll]

Splatoon

Not only is it way too soon to say that, Splatoon has been a huge success in Japan. You think World Wide numbers aren;t going to back that up further on a game that had a small budget?

 

[Rival]

You go to hell Bayou Billy!


Eternal Darkness

 

[Voysa Reezun]

The One True Answer is obviously Alpha Protocol.

By the way, I hate you, SEGA.

Mr. Bones was one of the best games for Saturn. It was a collection of mostly platformer minigames. Many of which used an FMV background which actually looked really good with the high quality 3d rendering of Mr. Bones. The game looked gorgeous and was a ton of fun.
