black sheep of the series

what are some black sheeps of great video game franchises? Try not to list spin-off titles(only a proper sequel in the series)

Resident evil 5( Yes i said it. why why WHY AFRICA? It doesn't feel like a resident evil game. It feels like a warzone shooter)

Super Mario Sunshine (the bar has been set so high that it was inevitable that a mario game would disappoint. Not a bad game, just not a classic)

Mortal Kombat 3(when the series 'jumped the shark'...really lazy programming...basically mortal kombat 2.5 ON EARTH!!!...)

Street Fighter 2010.

I dont think street fighter 2010 has any affiliation with the other street fighter games, but yeah that game sucks... lol

then again I wouldn't really call any of the games the OP posted blacksheep either.... definately games that put a new spin on the series though.

Blacksheep hmmm...

Super Mario Brothers 2 (NES) is the game that I think of the most. I will try and think of some more.

Contra Force (NES)

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals (SNES)

I never said I didnt like SMB2, just that its a black sheep. It wasnt even a mario game :) It released as doki doki panic (or something like that) in japan, and they threw mario into it for the US release, because they thought the REAL SMB2 that only released in Japan was too hard for other countries... LOL

Contra Force has to have the same story as above, almost as if they threw Contra in the title just to boost sales.

I love SM Sunshine, but yeah its way different than other games in the Mario series.

For Zelda, I always thought that MM was a bit weird. It was kinda scary and the 3 day cycle thing got on my nerves.

zelda 2 adventures of link good game just completely different from every other zelda

I love SMB2 but it is a black sheep.

I dont know how you would consider half of these black sheep.... or 90% of them.... but maybe your least favorite? You did pick some good series though :P

Shadow the Hedgehog, enough said. Were Sega on drugs?

Going back to Super Mario Sunshine, I know longer feel it should be considered the black sheep of the series. The game is amazing.

Hmm.. well, that's cool to find out. Street Fighter 2010 is so much different then the other Street Fighters that I really thought it was just a generic name. Ok, I give it to the person that posted Street Fighter 2010as a black sheep.

So far I would say that

1. SMB2

2. Street Fighter 2010

are the blacksheep. The others mentioned I would either need a lot of convincing or a very good explanation.

DMC2,I never liked this one,the first was great.

I disagree, I feel Code Veronica X, GC REmake, and RE4 were the best of the series.
