[Regiruler]

Unless there is a significant drop in quality that I haven't gotten to yet:

Code Name: S.t.e.a.m.

 

[LithiumSpade]

Okami.

No, there isn't another game.

Bully too.

Multiformat, re-rerelease or remaster for both of these means they don't count, regardless of your feelings on Okamiden

Edit: I see you expanded your list, but unfortunately they're all disqualified for similar reasons.

 

[AgeEighty]

The 7th Saga
Blast Corps
Adventures of Bayou Billy

 

[WonderRade]

I would be so stoked if this somehow made it on the VC

 

[Zophar]

Okami.

No, there isn't another game.

Bully, Beyond Good and Evil, The Last of Us, and Mirror's Edge too, but Mirror less.

All of these have had re-releases.

 

[Krusenstern]

Edit: I can't read.

 

[Pinko Marx]

multiplat

 

[DigitalDivide]

Omega Boost

 

[LithiumSpade]

Edit: Ah I see, you caught it!

 

[OnPoint]

Ninja Five-0

Drill Dozer

Shatterhand

The Warriors

 

[Arcana Wiz]

Okay round 2!

Code of Princess, 3ds only game by Atlus

Hexys Force, PSP only game by Atlus

Quintet games, such as:

The Granstream Saga
Terranigma
Robotrek
Soul Blazer
Illusion of Gaia

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Nightmare in the dark

 

[Krusenstern]

Maybe I'm being dumb, but isn't the fact it has a "IV" in the title immediately an indication this wouldn't count?

Edit: Ah I see, you caught it!

Delete that. lol Already corrected my self. Sorry.


Hey OP, it would be useful to add the platform to each of these games in your list.

Edit: Got one more!

Ghosthunter (PS2)

 

[Justified]

Plok

 

[Cymbal Head]

How about:

Illbleed

 

[lt519]

Don't forget the "Best" qualifier in the title. Don't just name games that were one and done, they actually have to be good.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura qualifies doesn't it? That was a great rpg.

 

[Woo-Fu]

I wonder if Master of Magic qualifies?

 

[super-famicom]

Wake Up Club

 

[True Fire]

Radiant Historia, unfortunately. The franchise had so much potential.

 

[Red Blaster]

Don't forget the "Best" qualifier in the title. Don't just name games that were one and done, they actually have to be good.

given the struggle of most of the responses in this thread, almost any game that fits the stringent criterion should suffice e...i mean hell, the guy above you listed illbleed lulz.

more:

(fantasy adventure game with awesome art)

 

[MrCunningham]

A few off the top of my head:

Secret of Evermore - SNES
Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 - PS1
Jet Force Gemini - N64
Maken X - Dreamcast
Metropolis Street Racer - Dreamcast
Outlaws- PC (never got a GOG release, as far as I know)

 

[SaggyMonkey]

Psi-Ops thread? Psi-Ops thread.

 

[Arcana Wiz]

How could i forget this gem of the PSP!?

Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath_Evilman

really good roguelike game with random dungeons, one of the best NIS efforts.

 

[RightChandMan]

Does Deathrow (original xbox), or Heavy Rain (PS3) count?

Loved both of those games!

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Vagrant Story

This is a great suggestion. It was such a great game, but completely unloved in the grand scheme of things.

 

[v3numb]

Looking through my ps3 games quick...
heavenly sword
starhawk(not sure if it counts since it's kind of a spiritual sequel)
ni no kuni
heavy rain
beyond: two souls

 

[Tuck]

Not really sure why remasters and remakes aren't allowed. Same game.

 

[Eggbok]

Psi-Ops thread? Psi-Ops thread.

It was on Xbox too so nope.

 

[rezn0r]

I guess I was the only person on GAF who really liked Brute Force.

I'm with ya, it actually flashed through my mind when I saw only the topic title and then I got happy seeing it mentioned by the OP & then you too. One of my favorite memories of XB1.

This is a great thread & a great list, I'd throw a vote at Shadow Complex as well; there's a shit ton here that I have never played that I now feel the need to.

 

[LithiumSpade]

Don't forget the "Best" qualifier in the title. Don't just name games that were one and done, they actually have to be good.

As OP is actually doing a pretty good job of keeping track of qualifying suggestions, I figure we could just chuck out everything we can think of and then vote on the best suggestion later haha

 

[Kyzon]

Zombi U is up there for me. I've been meaning to replay this great game.

 

[lt519]

Looking through my ps3 games quick...
heavenly sword
starhawk(not sure if it counts since it's kind of a spiritual sequel)
ni no kuni
heavy rain
beyond: two souls

Ni No Kuni was released on DS in Japan, so wish I could have played that on the move here in the states

I'd vote for Heavy Rain but I don't think Heavenly Sword was good enough.

As OP is actually doing a pretty good job of keeping track of qualifying suggestions, I figure we could just chuck out everything we can think of and then vote on the best suggestion later haha

Haha fair enough

There is a game boy color version of Azure dreams

 

[ElTopo]

An action platformer masterpiece on par with Megaman, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, and the other greats.

Also Blood:

 

[LithiumSpade]

Because there's probably already been a hundred threads on "Best platform exclusive that never got a sequel" which is all that thread would be in the end. This is more testing. I'm loving some of the games that are being brought up, some id forgotten and some I just never knew of. It's a learning experience!

 

[super-famicom]

Both PC only games:

Banished
Long Live The Queen

 

[Red Blaster]

There is a game boy color version of Azure dreams

yep just realized that

this shit is hard

 

[jacobeid]

Holy crap, I forgot about that.

It was the only version I had!

 

[lt519]

Be careful with PS3 games, does PS Now count as second platform?

[Cymbal Head]

A few off the top of my head:

Secret of Evermore - SNES
Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 - PS1
Jet Force Gemini - N64
Maken X - Dreamcast
Metropolis Street Racer - Dreamcast
Outlaws- PC (never got a GOG release, as far as I know)

There was an enhanced remake of Maken X for PS2 called Maken Shao.

 

[Stevey]

Moonstone would have been my choice but it got ported to DOS :/

 

[MrCunningham]

There was an enhanced remake of Maken X for PS2 called Maken Shao.

Oh.

 

[jmood88]

Jade Empire

 

[D-VoN]

Ni No Kuni?

I know there is a rumor for a sequel.. Still counts right?

 

[Dizzy-4U]

A few more Arcade games:

Fighting Layer

Martial Masters

 

[flyover]

Yeah, Folklore would be my pick. What a neat game, and the only one where I actually enjoyed the enforced Sixaxis motion-sensing gameplay that Sony required early in the PS3's lifespan.

 

[Kor of Memory]

This is a great suggestion. It was such a great game, but completely unloved in the grand scheme of things.

I tried to grow my hair out in high school based on this character/image.

I made it to about 8 inches long. People thought I was trying to grow horns, and it was a very religious small town.

I cut them off Senior year.

This award goes to Ghost Trick.



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

Ehem, it's sitting on my iPhone so, DISQUALIFIED!

I can't think of one. Logical Journey of the Zoombinis. It has spin-offs though according to the internet.
