Concept »
A rare case were a spin-off takes place during the series' timeline.
A crossover occurs when a character from one franchise makes a special appearance in a game from an unrelated franchise. Some games are specifically designed to be crossovers that bring together characters from two or more franchises.
A game that takes place between the events of two previously-released entries in a series, whether those be games or other media like films.
Sports games that feature pre-existing videogame characters, rather than real athletes.
A game that was once in development as part of an existing franchise, but was released as an all-new property, with any explicit connection to the original franchise removed. The change can occur anywhere from the conceptual stage to the final weeks of development.
These are often a departure from the conventional gameplay of a game. There have also been compilations; games including only minigames. The Mario Party series has a lot of minigames, too!
So you made a fighting game, and the direct sequel is a hack 'n' slash action game? Wait, what?
