Line 226:
** ''[[Shake It Up]]'' is the spiritual successor of ''[[Hannah Montana]]''.
* Pair of Kings could be considered as Wizard of Waverly Place's as their both fantasy comedy with action elements and some grim world elements there and there.
* ''[[The Prisoner]]'' may be considered a [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Danger Man]]''. Patrick McGoohan plays the same type of secret agent character in both. Some fans (and George Markstein, one of the co-creators of the series) go farther, arguing that Number Six ''is'' John Drake, which would make it a true sequel series rather than a [[Spiritual Successor]]. However, McGoohan (the other co-creator) denies this, and character differences between Number Six and John Drake call it into question as well. For more details, see the [[wikipedia:Number Six
* ''[[Eli Stone]]'' to ''[[Ally McBeal]]'', both about a lawyer who hallucinates, though both in different ways.
* ''[[The Bill]]'' was a spiritual successor to ''[[The Sweeney]]''. It was made by the same production house (Thames Television), and in its very earliest years it even shared some of the same production team (in particular original executive producer Lloyd Shirley).
Line 311:
* Guitarist Jerry Cantrell's second solo album, "Degradation Trip", has been described as a spiritual successor to Alice in Chains' ''Dirt'' album.
* Chickenfoot is this for Van Halen, considering half of Chickenfoot is comprised of the two least crazy members of Van Halen, and the actual Van Halen has degenerated into a rather pathetic nostalgia act.
* Some fans consider [[
* So many of [[Frank Zappa]]'s albums were this to each other, it would take a lot of space to list them all.
* [[Tom Waits]]' "Swordfishtrombones" was the precursor for "Franks Wild Years" [sic], which was followed by "Rain Dogs". Collectively, they are known as the Frank O'Brien Trilogy.
Line 498:
* ''[[Border Down]]'': Successor to ''[[Metal Black]]'', a [[Shoot'Em Up]] by Taito. Hiroyuki Maruyama, the president of G.rev, started the company and did subcontracting work for [[Treasure]] and Taito to generate revenue just to make this game. Why? He just really liked ''Metal Black''.
* ''[[Hellgate London]]'' to ''[[Diablo]]''.
* ''[[Razing Storm]]'' is the spiritual sequel to ''Crisis Zone'', the [[Gaiden Game]] to ''[[Time Crisis]]''. Like ''Crisis Zone'', you use a machine gun instead of ''Time Crisis'''s handguns (though for bigger targets, you (automatically) switch to stronger weapons), and instead of hiding behind objects, you take cover behind a heavy-duty shield. ''Razing Storm'' has since been renamed ''Time Crisis: Razing Storm'' for its [[
* The ''[[Tetris]]'' clone ''[http://tetrisconcept.net/forum/showthread.html?t=1381 NullpoMino]'' is somewhat of a spiritual successor to ''Heboris: Unofficial Expansion'' (sharing the same font and a similar level of customization), developed from scratch due to ''Heboris UE'''s source code--a mixture of C++ and a gaming script--being an [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Programming Abomination]].
* ''[[Metal Slug]]'' is the spiritual successor to ''Gunforce 2'' and ''[[In the Hunt]]'', which were made by the same staff back when they were working for Irem.
