The odd one out in a video game series?
Which game in a series seems to be the odd one out? Either because it doesn't seem to fit, it's hated, or everyone just forgets it exists for whatever reason.
shareIt's customary for OP to being though.
Could the ur-example be Super Mario Bros 2? It's not like any Mario game before or after.
Because the US/EU version of Super Mario Bros. 2 is just a re-skin of a different game. There was a proper SMB2 released in Japan.
There are quite a few odd games in a variety of old game franchises:
- Zelda 2 on the NES which is unlike any of the other games
- Alex Kidd is the oddest franchise, with a BMX game and a game that is more a Trivia Quiz then anything else (and like the US/EU SMB2 a re-skin of another game)
- Metroid Prime Hunters, a multiplayer FPS in an otherwise Single Player Franchise
- Heroes of Might & Magic 4: Different camera angle, different gameplay mechanics, barely anybody likes it
- Silent Hill 4
- Devil May Cry 2 - even the developers pretend that game doesn't exist

Yeah, my bad. But still, it's the odd one out. At least until Super Mario Sunshine.
