-Originally a Saturn exclusive title released only in Japan

-Was then later ported to the PS1, and that version got a western release as well

Hint time:

27) A couple of years back I would have expected a sequel to this game to have been announced by now, but it seems another sequel from the same developer is happening first.

Hint 2: That "other sequel" has consistently been my top pick in the "Most wanted (insert month)" threads.

26) "Where is _________ 2?" is something many fans were asking this year (_________ being the name of this game).

Hint 2: _________ 2 released over a decade ago

25) Deadly rabbit puns

24) The subtitle "Attack of the Clones" would also fit this second entry

23) This game has the name of the console it was released for in the title

#27: Metroid Prime 3

#23: Saturn Bomberman

Nope, both wrong. Prime 3 doesn't quite fit the first hint since I said that I expected a sequel to have been "announced by now" and Prime 4 has already been announced, even if a full reveal might still be a ways off.

If Mar1217 goes with those, I’ll go with Mario Kart Wii.

20 - This finale to a trilogy is known primarily for its fanservice and callbacks to previous entries in the franchise.
21 - Duane and Brando did a song about this game and it's an absolute banger. Also their most popular song on youtube.
22 - This 8th entry in the series vastly changed the look and feel of the franchise, with a system in place that was remarkably easy to abuse if you understood it.
23 - This 9th entry in the series went back to its roots and included dozens of fanservice tributes to the past; is also the highest rated according to Metacritic.
24 - This platforming action shooter RPG's title is yet another glorious and hilarious reference to asses and time travel.


25 - In a franchise that tends to build upon the past, this one started from scratch with 150 new entries.
- This is the fifth entry in the series

- All in all, there are over 2,400 pieces of DLC for this game, but it's not as nickel-and-dime as you might think.

I played Supaplex a lot back in the day. Solving one more level or retry after failing was a very addictive loop. This game in it's core is a Boulderdash-clone, but added some things and had such neat artstyle and sound-design.

As in Boulderdash you go through the level, collecting (in this case) Infotrons and avoid being hit by a stones. The game includes exploding floppy disks, enemies (the scissors you see above), gravity for some levels and some other stuff to keep it fresh. If you collected the set number of infotrons for the level, you can go to the exit (if you didn't block it with your earlier actions). Overall it contains 111 levels, but if one level is too difficult, you can skip it, but the number of skips is limited. As usual with puzzlers, the solution often needs some good thinking.

One thing that I liked about the game, that sound-design and the background melody are seriously addicting. The graphical design with the computer hardware theme (sorta) is also quite cool.

The game released originally for Amiga and DOS. But it got many clones and rereleases like Megaplex for Windows (with level editor), Infotron for MacOS, Igor The Time Machine (an extended game from the same devs), WinPlex, New Supaplex, Supaplex 3000 and an adapation for the Apple Appstore. If you want to play it, you have certainly a lot of options. For the original feeling, download it from the developers and play it in DosBox. Also an open source reimplementation exists, to bring the game to modern platforms.
