How's about we make a thread that is much more positive than ... that other thread.
Our topic: Games that we want to see sequels for (but are unlikely to happen).
Here's one of mine:
Super Princess Peach
Hey, do you guys love the Wario platformers? Then you'll love Super Princess Peach. Yeah I know, it doesn't look like it from the premise of the game, but aside from the aesthetics SPP feels much more like a Wario Land game than it does any Mario game, most notably in how the levels are set-up, and how the emotion power system is somewhat similar to the Wario Land status ailment "powers". This game was just plain a lot of fun, and one I highly recommend to anyone with a DS system.
Why it deserves it: Aside from it being a good game that I would love to see more of, the primary reason it deserves a sequel is because one was already planned to happen. In the background of the primary story about Peach rescuing Mario from Bowser, the game also sets up information for a potential sequel revolving around the story of Peach's parasol partner, Perry, his grandfather, and a pair of mysterious magicians. From what we are shown in Perry's dreams, it seems that he may not have always been a magical parasol but was rather turned into one by these magicians for unknown reasons. I assume that the sequel was intended to be about Perry and Peach taking on the magicians, returning Perry to normal, and reuniting him with his grandfather.
Why it's unlikely: Stupidity, mostly. This game got a lot of flak for really stupid reasons. One of the primary concerns that "professional" reviewers have stated is that the game was far too easy; but come on, a game doesn't have to be difficult to be good, and it's honestly no less difficult than any Kirby game out there. But the real stupidity sets in with the unfortunately way too common complaint that the game is sexist due to the emotion-themed abilities that Peach utilizes in the game, pushing the stereotype that women are overly emotional. Ugh ... it's so dumb that it gives me a headache. Never mind the fact that Peach is already one of the most stereotypical damsels in all of gaming. Never mind the fact that the enemies in the game all utilize the same emotion powers, including Bowser himself, who is the epitome to testosterone. Give me a break, guys.
I have more games to suggest but this took longer to type than I expected. More from me later.
Oh, and please don't feel that it's required for you to be as wordy as I was here. This is just how I am is all.
