My first impression on reading the thread title? Sonic 2, Halo 2 and Mario Bros. 3.

 

[adamsapple]

Fuck yeah.

ME1 "purists" be damned. ME2 is what makes the franchise as good as it is.

 

[AJUMP23]

SMB 3 brilliant in every way.

SMB2 is great too but it was really a different game.

 

[KàIRóS]

Zelda 2
Devil May Cry 2
Bioshock 2
Final Fantasy X 2
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Duke Nukem Forever
Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts

You said legendary but not in what way.

Unless your naughty dog, then they just release the same game.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

True second coming legends.

 

[Ribi]

Legendary didn't get a sequel.


Actually I don't think it sold well at all. Shame because the idea was cool. Kill mythical creatures with guns

Vice City if starting with Gta 3 as 3d era

A Few that really stood out to me at the time were:

Street Fighter 2

[StreetsofBeige]

True second coming legends.

Shit. How could I forget SMB! Game was so different than the original game. Better in every way.

Old fart here ...

 

[radewagon]

I guess I'll be the first to say Super Metroid?

YES!!! Don't anybody go editing that in, now!

Why would anyone want to edit in a mistake?

Much love, tho.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Star Control 2, by toys for Bob, pubd by accolade

The true GOAT sequel, followed closely by Baldur's Gate 2.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Majoras mask I’m pretty sure is the ultimate legendary sequel every developer aims for the game is loaded, we know the dungeons are tough link is still better than Mario.

 

[cireza]

Direct sequels that come to mind :

 

[GymWolf]

Gta3 coming from 2 was probably one of the biggest shifting paradigm in gaming history.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Aside from those already posted...

Switched genres while keeping the essence of the previous games and also being an awesome game on it's own right.

 

[Sentenza]

 

[Sybrix]

 

[Saber]

Majoras Mask.

 

[Tg89]

Diablo 2
Donkey Kong Country 2

The best 2s

 

[Georome]

I don't think anything can beat Street Fighter 2 in that regard.

Other big ones:

Diablo 2
Starcraft 2
Half-Life 2

Marvel vs Capcom 2

 

[ResilientBanana]

Mario Land 2 put in misery the first episode and makes you think if they are two games of the same system
