Inglebard Gaming Reports On Obscure Game Sequels

The games mentioned here (17 minutes) really are obscure, including two sequels to Green Beret, a.k.a. Rush’n Attack, one for the arcade. I’ve only heard of one of those before, and vaguely Heart of the Alien. I’m working on a lot of Caves of Qud stuff for the coming days and weeks, hopefully things like this can help tide you over until then.

Here’s the list of games covered:

Missing In Action (Green Beret sequel, arcade)
Rush’n Attack: ExPatroit (another Green Beret sequel, this time in 3D, released much later on PS3)
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (Diablo-like sequel, PS2, Xbox)
Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 (PS3, Xbox 360)
Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 (PS3, Xbox 360) also mentioned were the Bionic Commando games for Gameboy and Gameboy Color
Heart of the Alien (sequel to Out Of This World, SegaCD version)
Fade to Black (3D Flashback: Quest for Identity sequel for Playstation and DOS)

How Many Super Mario Games Are There NOW?

For the best results, read the title with a whiny stress on the word NOW, like you’re a kid asking “Are we THERE yet?”

Let me see, off the top of my head. It’s Super Mario, so the original Mario Bros. or anything before it are out. I assume these are “mainline” games, meaning tentpoles for their platform. Okay, let’s go:

Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan), Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA), Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 4: Yoshi’s Island, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Wonder. That’s 18, but I’m sure I missed one or two. Super Mario Maker & 2 are more like side games; All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. is basically a romhack, if it’s not a platformer in some way it’s not really a Super Mario game so Paint and sports and karts don’t kount. Bowser’s Fury is like a parallel universe, and the later Yoshi and Wario games made themselves distinct from the original series. Mario Clash for Virtual Boy doesn’t have Super in the title, and it feels more akin to Mario Bros. anyway.

jan Misali (talk to them about their name’s capitalization) did a video covering the matter in an extreme amount of detail. It’s two hours and eight minutes long! Can you hang in there that long? I just finished the video about the Star Wars hotel and I’m frankly exhausted. Tell me how this one ends.
