Imagine flying throughout the universe without a care in the world, zipping past planets and discovering galaxies that only seemed to exist in the most hallucinogenic of dreams. In Opoona's futuristic universe, interplanetary adventures are as safe and commonplace as any other family activity. As young Opoona launches into outer space with his family, things suddenly take a turn for the worse. The spaceship begins to sway, the stars suddenly change direction, and before things can be helped, the family-laden spaceship plummets to an unknown planet below.
After crash-landing on nearby Planet Landroll, Opoona's real adventure begins. Separated from everyone that he knows and loves, Opoona is forced to get a job and eke out a living whilst searching for his lost relatives. As expected, Landroll isn't all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows: it's home to hoards of monsters, nefarious Dark Rogues, and other evil objects looking to eliminate Opoona's every move. With all this coming between Opoona and his family, what will our pokey little Fisher Price plaything do?
Phil at SPC writes, "Welcome to the return of One & Done, an article series on SPC that talks about games that never became franchises. They were literally one and done! Now, the purpose of these articles isn't to beg for sequels, as some of these games don't need them and not every game needs to become a franchise. Instead, we're just exploring and fondly remembering these terrific titles from generations' past and giving them some more time in the old spotlight."
I also remember Cold Fear. Never wound up buying it but I watched some of the walkthrough years later.
Gun could’ve gone on, but RDR was a tough act to follow.
Early years of the following gen had quite a few one-shots. Heavenly Sword, Lair, Haze, Folklore, Stranglehold. Bah gawd Stranglehold had expensive DLC for its day.
Nintendo's motion-controlled console was the home of countless fantastic gaming experiences. Here, I'll count down ten obvious and obscure choices that will suit the modern market perfectly.
This console has so many great games. I'd like to see a sequel to The Last Story.
There's not going to be a sequel to the structure of Super Mario Galaxy 2 though. The only reason we even got SMG2 was because they had plenty of leftover ideas from SMG1 that didn't make it into the game. It's better that we got other structures of 3D Mario later on
Galaxy 1 and especially Galaxy 2 are two of the most overrated games ever made.
The console was pathetic to say the least, but the games were great!
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Zelda Skyward Sword
Donkey Kong
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Zack & Wiki
Sonic Colours
Xenoblade Chronicles
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Super Mario Galaxy is getting a sequel though...Odyssey
Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a one off mainly because they apparently had content left over and instead of it wasting they made another game since they were still in the consoles life. Wouldn't make sense to have a sequel to Galaxy when each new system has brought us a different, brand new main Mario game. I'm glad we got Odyssey over it, it looks great and more open then Galaxy. Once you got to certain point in some levels of Galaxy (star cannon) you couldn't go back so back tracking was limited
Technically it's not a sequel. SMG3 would be a sequel. Mario Odyssey is it's own game and possibly new spin specifically for the switch like Galaxy was for the Wii. If anything, Odyssey is more akin to Sunshine than Galaxy.
Each ones are spiritual sequels
64, Sunshine, Galaxy and Odyssey
New Super Mario Bros. seems to always have sequels (2 on 3DS, one on Wii, and one on Wii U).
Also, Super Mario 3D World is a sequel to Super Mario 3D Land.
So, Galaxy 3 would be cool.
Super Mario 64 didn't
Super Mario Sunshine didn't
Super Mario Galaxy was the only one
Super Mario Odyssey probably won't
Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros are not main line Mario games...just advanced versions of the handheld games
Personally I want to see them revisit galaxy and sunshine in the same game. The water gameplay combined with the physics stuff could get pretty dang wacky.
Oh shit man SEE it's just waiting to happen
That and another game with a Dimension jumping element
Replies(1)Missing a lot of games: Red Steel, Zack and Wiki, Little King's Story, Bloom Blox, De Blob, Muramasa, Excitebots/bikes/trucks, Sin and Punishment, Kloana, Battalion Wars, etc . . .
Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't need a sequel. You could see the ideas drying up when playing through it.
Joseph uncovers another Hidden Gem, this time the JRPG Wii title Opoona.
Am I the only one that thinks this game looks horrible?
