Oh! Forgot GTA IV! *slaps forehead.

Also: Donkey Kong Country 2, DK64, and Banjo Tooie.

Baldur's Gate 2. It took the original and improved on it thousandfold.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. When it wasn't clear what direction the series was going to move in after Link's Adventure, this game clarified it and exemplified the "Zelda formula."

Megaman 2. The original game was great, but this game took it to the next level and set the pace for what would be one of the greatest series to ever grace the NES.

Super Mario Bros. 3. This game owned. Period. It was the holy grail of the video gaming world for a while because it kicked serious a**. It was a truly worthy successor to the original.

Fallout 2. Another game that not only lived up to the original, but proved itself to be a truly great game.

...etc.

what was half life 1's prequel?

Wild Arms 2
Breath of Fire 2
DOA2
Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner
Metal Gear 3
Soul Calibur 2
Smash Brothers Melee
Link to the Past :P
Super Metroid
Any Final Fantasy, (1 sucked on the NES xD)
Any Mario title (the first blew utter chunks xD )

I would have to say my top sequel would be Super Mario Bros. 3

No one lol'd at my picture ; ; lol^^

anyway, I forgot Earthbound counted as a sequel, I'm always thinking of mother 1 as a prequel. So yes. Earthbound :3 for it is awesome.

^i think its to high for people to see it now

Psh, ripoff >.> Random attacks of baldness for the win.

I think I might have to add Breath of Fire 2 and 3 :3 both of those were great.

^i liked the picture,maybe you should repost it down here

Halo 2, Call of Duty 4, Star Wars: Battlefront II
