Demon’s crest is one of the greatest video game spin offs I’ve ever played. Great pick! It’s on another level compared to its source material.

I really wish there were more games that had spinoffs where they just took the base game and its characters, and put them in an over the top bottle episode setting.
There are probably more examples, but Infamous Festival of Blood, Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare, and Far Cry Blood Dragon are the ones that popped into my head.
(Also that zombie and feudal japan Yakuza games belong there)

Also personally speaking, I don’t think I would have gotten into techno and electronic music if I didn’t play Sonic Riders as a kid.

Star fox adventures - a pleasant adventure by Rare and probably inspired by the likes of neverending story with its giant rock character. Nice music and happy feels… it diverges so far from the usual starfox gameplay, so I’m counting it as a spinoff.

Nier is a spinoff of the drakengard games. The game sets a bleak yet beautiful tone quite unlike anything else.

Sonic R - many a happy (and competitive) memory of this great racing spin off. What a soundtrack eh?

Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks. Nice 2 player beat em up.

Maximo games - fun spin offs of ghouls and ghosts aka ghosts and goblins.

Crisis Core - we get to go on Zack’s adventure and discover his story. Great soundtrack and a moving story.

I’m sure there are others I can’t think of them all right now.

Is Vagrant Story a spin off because it was set on Ivalice the world of FF Tactics and FF XII?
