Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is the most insulting sequel on this list, because its vehicle-building gameplay replaced the beloved 3D platforming that defined the original, and the opening literally mocked fans for wanting a traditional sequel. The series has been dormant for over 18 years, a full decade longer than the average dormant franchise on this list. It outperforms #4 in longevity of damage, costing Rare its identity.
