Nice list you got here!

I agree with RClay about Anachronox (although I’m not sure about the trilogy part – I thought they finished _half_ of the game). It has many flaws but it does deserve a sequel for sure (and maybe a remake as well while we’re at it).
But there are more “series” with similarly sad fates, for example XIII (already mentioned by Anonymous; originally planned as duology; one of the finer FPS games out there) or Advent Rising (originally planned as trilogy; I haven’t played it yet).
I’d also like to see some extended incarnations of mechanics seen in indie games Pogo Sticker and Duel 6. And a prequel or sequel to Cave Story would rock of course.
I really like “party games” and the furthest the SHS multiplayer has made it seem to be the action racing games for me. Unfortunately, they are all (Mashed, Micro Machines, Stunt GP) more or less flawed, so I’d welcome a polished sequel to any of these.
And probably my most secret wish in this area which is never going to happen is a true sequel to Deus Ex.

But nothing from video games really compares to my lust for a continuation of Red Dwarf! Ahh…

I whole-heartedly agree on the Sonic CD thing. We really do need a console sequel to that game… and I don’t just mean a “sequel” in the sense that “Sonic Rush” is a sequel. It needs to be a spiritual sequel, one that can recapture the look-and-feel, brilliant animation, and memorable soundtrack of Sonic CD, as well as the gameplay, on a console once again.

Personally, I have to agree with Yuji Naka. As awesome as it would be to see NiGHTS returning on a next-gen console, I just can’t see it being the same quality, or having the same feel of epic-ness as the Saturn version. =P

Also, I really don’t think STs recent works have been quite up to scratch will each series’ predecessor. I don’t think PSU was as good as PSO, I haven’t been enjoying Sonic anywhere near as I did during the Nintendo vs. Sega wars, and I can’t see why they won’t just leave a great franchise alone. But that’s just my opinion.

NiGHTS has actually been hailed as the greatest game there is by many fans, some also describe as ‘near perfection’, and from researching the topic on various sites about how much the game is actually worshipped (I had no idea, it’s almost like a cult), I can see why Yuji Naka would want to leave it be. In my eyes, those people are obviously the ones that REALLY gained something from the game.

Too late now though, it’s no longer a speculation. Somewhere along the line, someone desperately wanted to make a profit, that’s my guess.

Ah well, I guess I can only enjoy it if it’s good. If I’m wrong about my speculation, feel free to tear my words apart. XD

[...] Sega fans have been asking for another NiGHTS Into Dreams game for years and this fact has been reflected in the fact as my #1 choice for Games That Actually NEED A Sequel. [...]

A sequel deserves a sequel if it brings something original to the field. In that aspect Star Control II needs a “true” sequel. Jaws 3 treatment for that abortion of a 3rd game. Write it out. Chakan 2 was scrapped and the graphics and concepts were supposedly put into Blood Omen 2.
I play the pen and paper Shadowrun and would love to see a true followup to the Genesis version. Snes version was OK, and the new project out of Microsoft is not true to Shadowrun in any form.

Chakan
Shadowrun
Starflight2
Undying
Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi
Star Control 2
System Shock 2
Almost any of the old adventure game franchises.
