1. Another Code R: A Journey into Lost Memories (Wii)
CiNG may be defunct now, but I’m pretty sure Nintendo owns the IPs such as Another Code and Hotel Dusk. Which means they should see more life in them- especially for their latest handheld the Nintendo 3DS. The Wii title in the series left us with many more questions, while fixing up a few- and while a spin off could also be possible with Mathew Crusoe one of the side characters in the title. A direct sequel to the title would be more enjoyable. The original had Ashley at 13, and Another Code R put her at 16, one where she is 19 aka three years older yet again surely isn’t out of the question I don’t think. Story wise there is much more that can be expanded on- and I would love to see Nintendo continue with CiNGs closet- and if they don’t own the IPs then they should splash some cash and get the remains of the developer.
2. Survival Kids 2 (GBC)
A less resent title in the Survival Kids/Lost in Blue franchise. Survival Kids 2 was unreleased in Japan and is arguably the last good title in the series. A relook at what made the game so great on the GBC before the more resent disasters on the current generation of consoles should be in order. Looking at Survival Kids 2 and creating a sort of sequel which reimagined Survival Kids 2, should put the series back on the maps. It’s something that also screams “remake me with the GBC sprites as a Retro Remix for the Download Service”- or at the same time trying to create a true sequel for the new platform to make use of the 3D etc.
3. Disaster: Day of Crisis (Wii)
The Nintendo Wii game Disaster: Day of Crisis had a few flaws, and was much more of a sleeper hit then I assume Nintendo would of wanted. The game would be easily suited to the 3DS to give a fresh breath of life into the franchise and could easily sell well around the systems first year.
4. Rabbids Go Home (Wii)
The Wii version of Rabbids Go Home was possibly the best in the series, and after the trilogy of sub-par but still enjoyable mini game compilations it was expected that it would be a new standard for the series. It was a disappointment that Journey in Time turned out to take nothing from Go Home and instead became another mini game waggle fest. Ubisoft should revisit the title for the 3DS- and with the systems processing power should be able to put out something which is a great enjoyable sequel to the title, rather then something disappointing and tacky like their other handheld attempts or the mini game titles. It’s a shame really, because the Rabbids are the best new IP of late, at least concept wise.
5. The World Ends With You (DS)
The World Ends With You was a pretty unique RPG for its time, it showed the DS how things where done. Even more so is the story was very- very- epic. Which means the game could easily do with a few sequels here and there- and lets start with the 3DS. Its got the dual screens still so the games central mechanic could still work, and overall the 3D could enhance the world and add another layer of intrigue to the game.
6. Super Smash Bros. Melee (GC)
The GameCube version of Smash Bros is highly regarded as one of the series leading titles. Which is why it is certainly a title which needs a sequel for the 3DS. It could be touched up only a little- maybe softer graphics, but nothing going all out crazy gritty like the Wii version. Something which plays well and isn’t too detailed is what the handheld cries out- most people don’t want a serious Smash Bros for the DS, but anticipate a level of quality and modes to essentially just brawl in.
7. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS)
It’s a bit late for the inevitable sequel to Dark Dawn to appear on the DS. Like the GBA titles in the series, the game seems to end on a set up for another- and fans just want a piece of that action on the 3DS. The DS version was a stepping stone in finally seeing the series again, with hopes that it will continue another day on another console- fans anticipate the story to continue. The DS version ended on the short note which just left gamers confused, and there where a lot of things with the title which gamers in general feel where missing- or feel the game needed improving on. A 3DS sequel would give gamers that game.
8. Little King Story (Wii)
Little King Story was an amazing game on the Wii. It’s sleeper hit status means not many people would think that way. But at the end of the day it defiantly needs another sequel, even the developers have raised the topic themselves. It is less the fact that its suited to the 3DS, but more the fact a handheld version of the game would be lovely. The game could accuracy work better on a handheld- I’m not to sure, but the 3D screen would defiantly enhance the games graphic style and give gamers one hell of an experience. Because of its sleeper hit status on the Wii, I believe if a sequel for this game got in early on the 3DS, gamers would pick it up who haven’t heard of the original and then end up buying the original if they enjoyed the 3DS version. The life span of games is much longer at launch, as competitor games lack on the field, and because of the sheer lack of numbers in titles- more games are noticed.
9. Rub Rabbits/Feel The Magic (DS)
The original Feel The Magic would be amazing with a 3DS sequel. SEGA needs to get on that right away! The original sequel to the game on the DS was lacking in verity and didn’t really advance much from the original game. However a 3DS version would be much more enjoyable with the new toys SEGA could play around with on the title, as well as introducing some just plan wacked out scenarios which we came to enjoy from the original back on the 3DS.
10. Four Swords Adventures (GC)
Four Swords is easily the most enjoyable Zelda game ever, to a degree- and Multiplayer wise is something Nintendo should start capitalising on. The 2D style is just a bonus. But the multiplayer is something Nintendo should rig up some online and offline for. It’s just one of those games which the levels where simple- enjoyable and predictable- but you could play them over and over with friends or family. Really an Online Four Swords- get going!
