Shining Force I,II,II > everything that came after!
I have a feeling that there's never going to be another real Shining Force game. They keep changing the gameplay and then giving it some silly subtitle. The gameplay was what we loved! Quit messing around and just give us another Shining Force already!!!
Shining Force Neo/EXA > All it's predecessors
I could never get into the Shining Force series, just not for me I guess. But when Neo came out, somehow I knew I'd love it. I went and bought it plus the strat guide without hardly any research, it just felt right. Same thing with Ys: Ark of Napishtim versus the earlier Ys games.
I guess this one is a case of "
Prequels that make you go
"
One more for the road:
2D Marios > Everything that has come after.
I'm sorry folks, there's a list of games that did wonders for me in 3D and others who haven't. Mario platformers in 3D just seem really bland and forgettable. Sure innovative this blah blah, milestone achievement that blah blah, but the 2D Marios have a timeless appeal and a higher degree of challenge. Shake off the impact Mario 64 had because of it's transition to 3D, and your left with a
solid
game that few people go back to and play anymore. Need another example? The appeal of NSMB on the DS versus the redone Super mario 64. 2D side scrolling platformer has a special charm not even Mario galaxy can't touch. Contra and Castlevania have much the same appeal, regardless of the year and where we are in gaming trends.

I have to agree to that, I completely forgot about that one.
(Mainly because I refuse to play any of the new ones now)

All Sonic Games Except Sonic 3D > Sonic 3D Blast
I'm sorry, but 3D Blast was crap. A steaming load of crap. And (!) it wasn't made by Sonic Team.

3D Blast (or Flickies Island) is pretty crap, however the level of how crappy it is really depends on the version you've played. The MD version was just laughable, with it's 3D bonus stages so easy it was a joke. If you haven't played it yet try the Saturn version, as it dose have a nice soundtrack and really good bonus levels... still not very good, but a lot better.

Blasphemy!
Seriously though it's good that one of the newer games has got some support though through non-shining fans as it really missed the mark for those who loved the series prior to Sega taking complete contol over the series.

Actraiser > Actraiser 2
For the second game in the series the developer decided to take out what made the first one so special. It became another generic 16 bit side scroller. I've still never gotten over it
I agree 100%
Also
Breath of Fire 2 > Breath of Fire 3
Chrono Trigger > Chrono Cross
Devil May Cry 1 > Devil May Cry 2 & 3
Final Fantasy 1 > Final Fantasy 2
Final Fantasy 4 > Final Fantasy 5
Final Fantasy 6 > Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9 > Final Fantasy 10
Suikoden 2 > Suikoden 3

Westwood's C&C > EA's C&C
The war RTS that gave us the feeling of large scale resource management and strategy and unlimited replayability became another one of EA's mediocre titles and destroyed yet another fine studio. C&C Generals and C&C 3 are the Julian Lennons of video games.
So true

Jak and Daxter >> Jak2
Jak2 is not a bad game in any way, however I really loved the original world of JaD and though the turn tothe "GTA" style of Jak2 was way too harsh.

Everything Command and Conquer Series > Generals and Renegade
Generals I think just missed the mark and Renegade was fun and stupid at the same time.
Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 > Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
GBA game that just consisted of you hitting A until the game was over.

Wow, most of what I see that's considered bad is stuff I actualy liked.
My pick would be Chrono Trigger>Crono Cross
The first game played so great. The second had a great story but the biggest problem was the way one gained levels. Sure, in theory it's great to make players have to overly think about what abilities to use and what ones not to, but realy, it's nice to be able to get a little bit of an advantage sometimes.
