I just thought it’d be hilarious if a dev named their game, like, “Warhound 2” or something when there was never an original “Warhound” lol (and like, do so seriously, not just as a parody or joke, at least primarily so).
There is this Game called Apidya
According to the Creators they named the Game Apidya 2 to provide some exitement.
Very good Game with Music by Chris Huelsbeck.
Goonies 2 on NES, the original Goonies was Famicom only and never made its way to the NES console.
Not a game but there’s an Spanish movie called “Vivancos 3: if you like it we’ll do the first two”. It was a flop so…
Vivancos 3
The imdb rating of 3.9 for a movie that is not porn is quite incredible, I’m almost tempted to watch it.
Ouch!
Dune 2 came out shortly after a completely unrelated Dune game by a different studio, with the 2 added just so people could distinguish them.
Does BattleBit Remastered count? There was never a released game called BattleBit, and it was named that as a joke by the devs, because of how many times they had to redo things.
Oh yeah, that’s true!!! I never played it but saw gameplay and do know of it!
Connect Four.
lol, touché…
DOTA 2. The original DOTA is a custom map for Warcraft 3 (Defense of the Ancients).
TIL what DOTA stands for
If we’re including n64 style naming convention, Corn Kidz 64. Pretty sure the name got it’s name from the fact it looks and controls like an n64 title. Otherwise, no idea since the obvious, IMO, TF2 was already mentioned.
For a long time, I thought Street Fighter 2 was one such game.
There is no “Street Fighter” home console release. It was arcade only, and wasn’t even popular outside of Japan.
I mean, team fortress two was the first game in the series. Team fortress “1” having been a mod for a different game.
Team Fortress Classic was the first stand alone game in the series, sold as its own thing if we’re not gonna count the original Quake mod.
Same with DOTA
Goat simulator 3 exists, despite there being no Goat simulator 2.
This is what came to mind for me too.
It is so much fun to play co-op with my kid. Then I can act old and describe all the gaming industry references that only I get.
I’ve also been to Sweden two whole times, so I get to act all sophisticated and worldly while describing the real world Goatenburg.
Episode 63 of Welcome to Nightvale is called There Is No Part 1: Part 2.
It’s a podcast, but it does fit your requirement more precisely than perhaps any videogame.Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3. There is no 1 or 2. However, it only exists as a virtual arcade cabinet in DOOM 3.
Edit: Apparently you can also find it as a secret in DOOM (2016).
Interesting. I’ve never heard of it.
Not a game, but the movie ‘Troll 2’, the worst rated movie on IMDB, was named such without an original with the hopes to give it more “legitimacy”
Although the movie was titled “Troll 2” to capitalize on the minor success of Troll (1986), it has no connection to the plot or production of the earlier film.
Seems like one of those situations where they shoehorned their script into an existing franchise. They did that a lot with horror movies.
Quest 64 exists despite Quest 63, Quest 62, … Quest not existing.
This is half the N64’s library, and the console itself!
Reminded me of ClayFighter 63⅓
