#36 - One of the major characters in this game, was not seen in a sequel, but might be re-introduced in the next game in the series. This game is often considered the best in the franchise by most of the hardcore fans. This is also a fighter, it's a sequel to a game which almost didn't get localized because the developer thought that the Western Audience wouldn't like it.

Tekken 3 almost didn't get localized? Not the game, but wow this hint is pretty vague.

I'm going to take a stab at this and say Super Smash Bros.

Close, it's the sequel to that game, Melee. Smash Bros. fans often regard Melee as the most advanced version of the game, and because of Melee we saw Fire Emblem get localized

Mewtwo was the character that might get re-introduced. He wasn't in Brawl, but I've read rumors about him possibly coming to the next Smash Bros along with his Mega Evolution.

#35 - Was an exclusive, then it was no longer exclusive, but then a special edition made this an exclusive again. A terrible design choice in the sequel killed all hype for this franchise. Gameplay involves using grapple hooks to climb up ledges, and thermal packs to survive the extreme conditions.

Lost Planet.

Bingo! Lost Planet was a 360/PC exclusive, it was actually a big reason why I bought a 360 instead of a PS3 in 2007, but then it became one of the many exclusives on the 360, which later turned out only to be timed exclusives. However a year later, they released a Lost Planet: Colonies Edition, which had its own set of 1,000 achievements (so combined I have like 1,400/2,000), and this version never released on PS3.

Specifically I think I like the Colonies edition better, but once the free online with XBL Silver deal stopped, I stopped playing this game and began loathing MS. If they did it for free before, and if PC gamers using the same servers still get the game free? Why are you screwing only the console owner over?

Grapple Hooks and Thermal packs in FFXIII? Also a terrible design choice in FFXIII killed the hype for the FF series. For My #35 there is no design choice flaws, but the sequel was a mega flop because of them.

I figured the terrible design choice was making FF14 an MMO.

Is 35 Lost Planet?

Yes it is. The terrible design choice in Lost Planet 2 is the damn forced co-op campaign. The game is so poorly designed, if too many people quit, the game is dropped, and you can't start from a checkpoint. You pool lives so even if 1 gamer sucks, you loose loose, and when you play in single player the AI are so bad, the game becomes almost a stealth shooter....However I did like the 2 different openings for different characters, gives you incentive to play the game more then once.

Lost Planet 2 killed all hype for the series. Lost Planet sold 2 million units between the PS3/360, and Lost Planet 2 still managed 1.57 million even with the bad reviews, but LP3 only saw 0.16 million sales......

#31 When you hack into a research computer in this game, you can ask the following questions, and get these answers:

What happened to China? Reports uncertain. China my be fictional.
Can mole rates be domesticated? Yes if defanged, declawed, & lobotomized
Can Centaurs talk? Abundance of tongues suggest so.

31- Fallout: New Vegas

Close enough - Fallout 3.

I only just started playing New Vegas now, I wanted to make this hint as obscure as possible because I wanted to reference something in the game. However if I mentioned vault, or super mutant, I think people would have guessed it immediatly.
