Does Blur deserve a direct sequel?

When it comes down to racing titles from the early 10’s that deserves a direct sequel one of the many games that instantly comes to mind is Blur. For those who do not know Blur was developed by Bizzare Creations and published by Activision and released during the Spring of 2010. Ever since it release Blur was praised for its visuals thanks to the Horizon Game Engine. Also, the gameplay for Blur was pretty and had the potential to become a rival to racing titles such as the Mario Kart series. But as many people know Bizarre Creations had become defunct back in February 2011 after it was shut down by Activision.

Despite, the game having poor sales there were definitely plans on making a sequel to Blur utilizing a new game engine. If Bizarre Creations was still around we probably would have seen Blur 2 years ago. But at the same time it seems like Activision has no interest whatsoever on making a sequel to Blur. The fan base for Blur was small and it was not much of a success on a commercial level despite being a really good racing game.

When it comes down to NES platform classics one of the many titles that instantly comes to mind aside from the Super Mario Bros Trilogy is the Mega Man series. However, as far as the Mega Man series is concerned many would argue that the second installment for the NES stands out more than every other game excluding the Mega Man X series.

Ever since its release Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse has been critically acclaimed along with being one the best titles within the Castlevania series in general. Despite, how successful Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse has become there are many who believe that it should have been ported to the SNES sometime during the early 90’s.

However, as many of us know Konami had released Super Castlevania IV back in 1991 for the SNES. If Castlevania III was re-released for the SNES back in the early 90’s it could have possibly taken some of the shine off of Super Castlevania IV. In fact, the opposite could have happened and Super Castlevania IV could have overshadowed a SNES port of Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. Either way, a 16 bit version Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse on the SNES would have been very interesting see between 1990 and 1992.

Ever since its release Kid Icarus Uprising has received positive reviews from various gaming publications for its story along with being fun shooter game despite the criticism it received regarding its control scheme.

As popular as Kid Icarus Uprising was for the Nintendo 3DS it does not seem like Nintendo or Project Sora has any plans on development a sequel to Kid Icarus Uprising. This is mainly due to the fact that Project Sora became defunct in the summer of 2012. However, seeing a remastered version of Kid Icarus Uprising on the Nintendo Switch would be pretty cool especially since the series does not have too many games in general.

Ever since 1987 Konami has given us thirteen different games within the Contra series within the past 30 years. The last game in the series Contra: Hard Corps Uprising was released back in 2011 for the PlayStation 3 along with the Xbox 360. Ever since its release Hard Corps Uprising has received good reviews from fans and critics alike for its anime styled graphics. However, many people would argue that the arcade mode in Hard Corps Uprising was very difficult and would only appeal to hardcore fans of the Contra series.

Either way, Contra: Hard Corps Uprising was a pretty cool game back in the early 10’s and as of right now it does not seem like we will be getting a direct sequel in the near future. But seeing Contra: Hard Corps Uprising ported for a current generation console such as the PS4 or the Nintendo Switch sounds like a great idea. However, if Konami or Arc System Works ever has any plans of bringing Contra: Hard Corps Uprising to either the PS4 or the Switch console than tweaking the the difficulty of the game would be definitely helpful for those sho hav never played the game before.

The game had a storyline involving a sorceress named Apsu along with the Opposito Soldiers as the main antagonists who seek to obtain the Silver Crystal by altering time. The plot for Sailor Moon Another Story was rather interesting not only because it had multiple endings but storyline looked like something that could have worked in the actual anime.

While many fans of the Sailor Moon series would love to see a direct sequel to this game it seems unlikely that it will ever happen. Ever since Sailor Moon Another Story was released back in 1995 we never saw another game in the SM series like it. In fact, Sailor Moon Another Story was never released in America back in the 90’s despite how popular the show was on Fox Kids and Toonami. While the Sailor Moon series is not quite as popular as it was during the 90’s seeing a direct sewage to SM: Another Story would definitely turn heads within the gaming world.
