Games that should've never gotten a sequel

Super Mario Galaxy. At the risk of getting a tomahawk thrown at me, I think the game was too significant, magical, and iconic to be followed up with a sequel. I would rather have seen a whole new Mario game, set in a new location and with completely different things to do.

Wait for the game to come out first.  Everything I've read about it makes it seem better than the first one.  And the sequel will not hurt the image of the first one if it doesn't live up to the legend.  Look at Super Maio World and Yoshi's Island.  SMW is still near the top of the list for 2D platformers.

What are you saying?  Yoshi's Island was an amazing game.

I don't think he said it was a bad game, but he did say that Yoshi's Island didn't hurt Super Mario World's image even if it wasn't as good as SMW. I think anyone can agree with that (or at least the novelty factor).

Look at the VC charts.  Clearly people love SMW. 

Anyway, just to say it again, Montana couldn't be any more wrong.

Super Mario World was also heavily bundled with the SNES.  That's why the sales of the two games are so different.
