Earthworm Jim 2 as Earthworm Jim 3D was horrible horrible horrible

and Rise Of The Robots! Don't ask me how it got a sequel but it did.

That's easy. Pokemon red, blue, and yellow. There is no way that any pokemon game was ever going to capture the greatness of the original. This is easily seen when you look at the sales comparisons. ONE of the greatest games ever made



Thank you Kowenicki

PS3 will need to outsell 360 by:         
             
444,931 per month to catch it by Jan 2011. 102,676 per week.
266,958 per month to catch it by Jan 2012. 61,606 per week.
190,685 per month to catch it by Jan 2013. 44,004 per week.
148,310 per month to catch it by Jan 2014. 34,225 per week.
           
Current rate is:  -18,262 per month    
Avge over last 6 mths          
Negative number means 360 is outselling PS3 by that amount per mth on avge

FF X-2 should do the trick right here...

Oh, so many.

-Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. That was an amazing game. And then there was Warrior Within, and... not so much.

-Crash Bandicoot 3. The series was at its peak, it was being developed by Naughty Dog, and then it was completely murdered.

-Sonic and Knuckles. They should have let the series end on a high. But no, they had to cut all of its limbs off, stab it repeatedly, set it on fire and plunge it in a pool of acid, but NOT ALLOW IT TO DIE.

-Resistance Fall of Man *ducks*. Not because Resistance 2 was awful, but because Ratchet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Resistance, and they should really be focusing on that

-And a prediction for the future: Lost Planet 2. Oh come on, Lost Planet was hardly that brilliant. We have enough shooters, thank you very much.

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.

at first i as like yep but then i realized how great this new standard was for platforming, and even gaming perspectives and control mechanics generally, so i say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Shit, if any game deserved it (and im talking the innovative control and perspective changes specificially) it is this game. I want more surrealist inspiration too, more Dali, more Escher, cmon Miyamoto give me acid on screen please.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

DMC3, DMC4 could have been so much better. DMC5 better be good.

I've never played PoP: Sands of time, however I did play Warrior Within, and it wasn't that bad, although I did see an awful lot of glitches in the game mechanics.
