Eddie, from his Game Crush blog, speaks out on a handful or so of games that he believes deserve sequels. There are some interesting entries, such as Eternal Darkness, where a sequel seems to have been in place at one point, however as we know with Eternal Darkness, Nintendo holds the rights to the franchise while its developer, Silicon Knights, seems to refuse developing for Nintendo’s systems.
Here’s the Earthbound entry. Head over for some more games on the list.
Earthbound – Earthbound is one of the most unique and clever RPG series’ to ever grace a home console. It is in no way formulaic, and never fails to be original. Unfortunately, this three-game series has only seen ONE U.S. release, so while its presence on this list may be nationalistically selfish, it is absolutely justified. Earthbound has an incredible following here in the west, and all these fans really want is to play Earthbound’s sequel in a language they understand. Mother 3, the official follow-up to 1995′s SNES edition, was released for the GBA last year in Japan, and has no foreseeable future, stateside. Thus far, Starmen.net has done more for the U.S. fans than Nintendo.
