Vagrant Story
I think I'd argue that it's in the same boat as Ouendan/EBA and Demon/Dark Souls.

Enslaved was great. Maybe not the best, but it's at least worth a mention.

Metal Arms had a digital release on the 360, which probably means it was an Xbox game aswell as a PS2

bolded are all on psn and shinobi is a franchise with like 10 games lulz
A lot of good ones have already been mentioned, so I'll go with Rocket: Robot on Wheels.
It's not perfect; the controls are floaty and the camera is terrible, but there's so much imagination, with physics puzzles, a gravity beam, and multiple vehicles, that it's a huge shame it was never followed up on.

Breakdown for the original Xbox.
Panned by critics. Very misunderstood and fun game.

I would agree and I would think that they also shouldn't count going by the OP.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
An amazing emotional story full of atmosphere.
The Last Story
Pandora's Tower is soon to allow a download version but that's the exact same game being played through backwards-compatibility so it should count.

Demons Souls is technically a one game franchise. Dark Souls, despite being made by the same dev team, is technically a separate franchise.

Came in to mention 3D Dot Game Heroes, glad to see it was already brought up. What a damned good game.

Yeah IF spiritual sequels dont count, one of the greatest games ever made should be on list too: Chrono Trigger.
Yeah, would agree with this, even if the games are named differently.
Though if this is fine, LSD (Love Shine Dream) should also be fine.

If TC is going to allow that kind of dubious argument then it's Metropolis Street Racer all the damn way
TLOU Is on ps4
Phantom Dust has a sequel/remake/reimagination announced
Panzar Dragoon is a series lol
SNES+PS1+DS+IOS+Android
I go with Nintendo Land. It's so well made, easily accessible for different player types, but still very challenging if you play on a higher level. Lots of content where you can play alone, co-op with up to 4 other players or against each other and it's a great demonstration of the Wii U gamepad.

Never been ported or re-released far as I can tell

Paper Mario doesn't count as far as I'm concerned.
From the OP: "...was not part of a pre-existing franchise or licensed property..."
Just because it doesn't have a direct sequel doesn't mean it isn't part of a franchise.
Beetle Adventure Racing is a licensed property.
Except you're forgetting Chrono Cross which has direct ties to Chrono Trigger....
What is the criteria for this?
The things that make the games similar must FAR outweigh what keeps them different...
Stay as long as you'd like. Good answer, but I'm still sticking with Puppeteer.
