Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "With the right amount of creativity any game series can be successfully spun-off to deliver something fresh and exciting, as the 10 games we honored a few months back as the best spin-offs ever showed off. Well today we’re looking at the other side of the coin at the spin-offs t hat may have intrigued us once but when they released we just wanted to go back to the way things should be and forget that the idea of expanding upon established game worlds ever crossed our minds. So today we are calling these terrible games out, hoping that they can serve as cautionary tales to the pitfalls of trying to spin-off a beloved franchise."
Sega has officially filed a trademark for Shadow the Hedgehog with the Japanese patent office, sparking speculation that a remaster or an entirely new game could be in development. Fans are already buzzing with theories about what the company might have planned next.
The motion-controlled maverick of a console that had everyone from age 9 to 99 swing a TV remote to bowl and painstakingly recreating themselves as Miis, had its share of hits, but even so, some titles didn’t quite get their due.
Love this game (played on Vita) and i think i got pretty far, but never finished because i refused to look up a guide 😎
Same with me, played for like 50 hours, found a puzzle I just couldn't crack and decided to let it go. Great game
Shadow the Hedgehog, even 20 years later, remains one of the SEGA's most unhinged and comically edgy titles ever.
Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball was actually a pretty fun game.
DOA Venus Vacation is probably the best... But also the most restrictive in terms of modding.
Didn't think Extreme Beach Volleyball was that bad. If anything, the PsP was probably the worst (imo anyway).
Also, some other spinoffs I would also add on the list are Akiba's Beat, Slashy Souls, Banjo Kazooie N&B (not terrible but I'm pretty sure everyone wanted a third game, not some racing spinoff), LBP karting (not as good as Modnation Racers), MGSurvive, Resident Evil Survivor, Pacman 2 Adventures, Pokemon Channel, Hotel Mario, Street Fighter The Movie game, Twisted Metal Small Brawl and Guilty Gear Overture.
