Everyone has a game or games that they loved so much that they wanted a sequel that never happened. Others have a game they loved that they wanted to see a remaster or even full-on remake. These are five sequels or updates that would make me a very happy gamer if they happened.
5. Kensei Sacred Fists
Kensei was an underrated gem of a 3-D fighting game that had the nerve to try to compete with Tekken 3. No doubt, Tekken 3 was the better game, but Kensei was something a little different. The game suffered from blocky graphics and a non-existent story. What the game had going for it was rockin' music, lots of characters and good designs for those characters, and a ton of bone-breaking action. It also had one of my favorite game girls, the ugly but somehow still cute Saya Tsubaki. A remaster or total remake of this game with overhauled music and graphics could be good. Plus, they could give the characters stories so players know why these people are fighting (and actually care for them as a result).
4. A Third Fire Emblem Radiance Game
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance for the Gamecube and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn for the Wii are two of my favorite games of all time and probably my very favorite SRPGs of all time. Some of my favorite characters (such as Oscar and Ilyana) and music (the Black Knight's battle theme) come from this series. It would be nice to see this series continue in some form. Perhaps an old, grizzled Ike could train up the next generation of heroes to tackle a new threat or something like that. Hopefully, things won't get too convoluted or nonsensical.
3. Dead Or Alive All-Female Edition
Dead Or Alive is a series where the women take front and center. The Xtreme Volleyball series is has an all female cast, but that's nothing more than a bunch of hit or miss minigames. What I'm talking about is a one-on-one fighting game featuring just the females, which a few guest characters to fill out the roster. It should keep the fast and brutal feel of DOA, not turn into something silly. This would be a good opportunity to bring in characters like Ikkitousen's Ryofu Housen and Tekken's Asuka Kazama to hint at possible crossovers. They could also have female representations of the male's fighting styles so those styles won't be missing.
2. Lost Dimension 2
Lost Dimension is a unique SRPG that tried a few new things that no other RPG (that I've played, at least) tried, most notably the Judgement System. It would be nice to see a sequel that improves these things and maybe adds new things beyond that. The possibilities...
1. Lost Kingdoms 3
From Software and Activision need to get together again to give this series one more try. The first Lost Kingdoms was flawed and frustrating, but fun. Lost Kingdoms 2 improved everything from the original and added to it. It was superior in every way. How much would Lost Kingdoms 3 have improved things? Hopefully, an answer comes soon.
There you have it. Five franchises that I would like to see remake, updated, or continued in some fashion. Agree? Disagree? Have something to add? Leave a comment and be heard.
