Line 73:
* [[Fist of the North Star]] is this for ''[[Mad Max]]'', [[X Meets Y|but with]] [[Bruce Lee]].
* The ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' franchise as a whole is this to ''[[Sailor Moon]]''
* Happens so much with
** ''[[Gunbuster]]'' was this to ''[[Aim for the Ace!]]'', ''[[Top Gun]]'' and ''[[Getter Robo]]''. Then ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' was this to GunBuster and ''[[Devilman]]''. Then ''[[FLCL]]'' was that to NGE. Then ''[[Gurren Lagann]]'' was this to all of them before but especially ''[[Getter Robo]]''. Goes even farther with Gainax's own successor, Trigger and ''[[Kill la Kill]]'', ''[[Little Witch Academia]]'' and Darling In The Franxx.

Line 473 ⟶ 472:
* ''[[Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island]]'' (aka ''Sonic 3D Blast'') is more of a spiritual successor to the early arcade game ''Flicky'', than a proper Sonic title.
* ''[[Dawn of War]] 2'' plays more like ''Company of Heroes'' than ''Dawn of War 1''. It largely abandons base-building, which was a major part of Dawn of War 1.
* ''[[Battle Garegga]]''{{'}}s spiritual sequel is ''Armed Police Batrider'', which inherits many of ''Battle Garegga''{{'}}s mechanics, such as [[Rewarding Vandalism|bombing the scenery]] for powerups and medals, as well as the medal chaining system, and even has [[Guest Fighter|guest appearances]] by the ships of ''Battle Garegga'' and the ''Mahou Daisakusen'' series. ''Batrider'' in turn had a spiritual sequel in ''Battle Bakraid'', which borrows ''Garegga''{{'}}s option changing feature, has a somewhat modified medal chaining system, and the "tickle laser"-cum-charge-shot from ''Batrider''.
** The [[Dynamic Difficulty]] system of these games is lifted from Zanac, of all things, only made completely and utterly inconvenient (notably, the removal of every rank reduction method except dying.)
** Ibara, sharing the same main designer also counts as a Spiritual Successor, if you can count a near-exact copy of the rank system of Garegga as one.
Line 573 ⟶ 572:
* ''[[One Piece]]: Gigant Battle'' for the DS was developed by Ganbarion, makers of ''Jump Super Stars'' and ''Jump Ultimate Stars'', and reuses many of the same assets.
* ''[[Forbidden Siren]]'' was made by former members of Team Silent, the original developers for the ''[[Silent Hill]]'' series.
* After a falling out between the developer and publisher of ''[[Operation Flashpoint]]'', the publisher won the rights to the name and would reuse it for [[Operation Flashpoint (Codemasters)|a rather different duology]], while the developer kept the rights to the engine behind ''Operation Flashpoint'' and went on to create the ''[[Arm A]]'' series, which is widely considered to be the true successor to ''Operation Flashpoint'' to the point that the developers collectively call both series the [[The Verse|Armaversum]].
** As a twist, for the tenth anniversary of the original ''Operation Flashpoint'', the developers released a final patch (just over six years after the penultimate patch) that actually renamed the game to ''ARMA: Cold War Assault'', as well as removing a Codemaster-included campaign called "Red Hammer."
* ''[[E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy|EYE Divine Cybermancy]]'' has been called a successor to ''[[Deus Ex]]''.
Line 612 ⟶ 611:
* ''[[Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes]]'' is a spiritual successor to ''[[Suikoden]]''.
* ''[[Yooka-Laylee]]'' is a spiritual successor to ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.
* Although the series has since gained its own identity, the very first ''[[Ratchet & Clank]]'' game can be considered a successor to Rare's ''[[Jet Force Gemini]]'', as both games follow very similar plot points; a hero travels across the galaxy fighting to stop the villain, they have a ton of destructive weapons at their disposal to accomplish that task, and both feature a robotic companion that was created by the antagonist but ends up siding with the good guys.
