Games you thought deserved a sequel or another entry?

Shining Force!
It's criminal that this series just disappeared right when it really hit its stride with the third game(s).

Oh and another non-metroidvania Strider would be sick as well!
(I liked that metroidvania just fine, but it really is a completely different experience)

Also Thief! But like, another actual Thief, not whatever the hell that reboot was.
A year or two ago some fans actually released an absolutely incredible mod campaign for the original Thief: The Black Parade. That project really showcased just how much gas was still left in that particular tank.

  • Mysterious Mursame Castle - Big N drops so many references to it in other games (Smash, Captain Rainbow, etc) but the most we got of it was a rerelease on the E-shop. It's weird that a game built on the original Zelda engine is near abanadoned. Speaking of which...
  • StarTropics did get one sequel, but it's been ages since then. It's probably ignored mainly because it's an NOA game, and thus doesn't hold as much value to the JP office, but that's not much of an excuse.
  • ActRaiser - The 2nd game was a pale imitation of the 1st, lacking the world building aspect. The remake added little, which was just a mid tower defense mode. It'd be great to see a sequel with a more advanced world building mode, as that was the part of the game everyone loved.
  • For that matter, Quintet games in general. Squeenix has a great back catalog from Enix's old partners that they shouldn't ignore.
  • Chrono Trigger is a weird one to not get a sequel. There are few games with such a strong following that have so few entries in its series. Not to mention, we never got a direct sequel, as the others involved alternate dimensions and timelines with all-new casts.
  • Sega is sleeping on a lot of stuff, such as Kid Chameleon, Ristar, and so on. Hopefully they'll consider more of their back catalog with their new initiative.
On an unrelated note, I wish we got more games in the side-scrolling 2D horror genre, ala Clock Tower. The genre hit its peak on the PS1, got a few more entries here and there after (such as Tokyo Twilight Busters on DS), then just disappeared.

Come ON, Capcom!!! The children crave tiny gachapon robots engaging in 3D combat!!
 
For games that are series but that have just sort of been abandoned my first thought was Daytona. I've only played the first one on Xbox 360 Arcade but it's such a gem. Probably the loudest game ever. I would have said Fantasy Life if it weren't for the fact that Level 5 finally confirmed a sequel last (or was it 2023?) year.
Another sort of weird wish is NBA/FIFA Street. I don't like most sport simulator games, but the arcade-y ones are almost always excellent. EA Sports Big had a good thing going back then.

For games I wish would get s sequel it's Ever Oasis from the 3DS. Lovely little gem.
 
The Assault Suits series needs a comeback, a proper one instead of a Switch port of a SNES game.
Also, Metal Gear Rising.
