Top 10 Video Games that Were the Biggest Insults to Their Franchises

Yes, this can also include heavily infamous fan games (cough, you should already know very well which Half-Life one I'm talking about, cough)

Two recommendations for high-tier list entries:
1) Series that the game is from has to have originally been good
2) Game should be one that actually goes out of its way to openly insult its series (again, unlike Halo 4, which is really just a bad remake of the original trilogy's gameplay/story formula)

GAME HAS TO ACTUALLY INSULT ITS SERIES AND NOT JUST BE A VERY BAD GAME FROM IT
The Top Ten
1 Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
2 Link: The Faces of Evil

Almost as bad of a title as MANOS: The Hands Of Fate, and believe me, the game is no better

3 Pokémon Black/Blue

Horrifically offensive and wince-inducingly unfunny PETA parody of Pokémon's "animal enslavement" mechanic, enough said

4 Hunt Down the Freeman

From G-Man himself mispronouncing the word Mesa as "Messuh" to I Hate Everything and Killer Keemstar being respectively cast as an Asian-American dude and the president of the United States (cough, Keemstar is literally the Donald Trump of Youtube, cough), there is seriously not even a SINGLE dull moment in this Half-Life fan project's utterly miserable ineptitude; it seriously has to be seen in order to be believed

5 Metroid Prime: Federation Force

The actual EXACT opposite of what a proper Metroid game should be, yet Nintendo somehow STILL had the audacity to almost completely take the absolutely perfect Metroid 2 remake known as AM2R down in favor OF it...oh well, at least we got Samus Returns, the OTHER Metroid 2 remake...anyway, NEXT!

6 Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

Well, Sonic being fornicated with by human women in an actual official Sonic game is still considerably more favorable than watching Asriel underagedly screw his own thousand-year-old MOTHER'S brain in NON-canonical Undertale if you ask me

Wanna know how to fix SEGA? Fire the guy who's idea was Elise.

7 Earthworm Jim 3D

First two games were pretty good, albeit VERY largely thanks to their music and art styles and specifically those two elements alone

Cartoon series was absolutely AMAZING
AND then basically every EWJ game after 2 immediately began sucking Triceratops schlongs, ironically as a rather immensely direct result of them becoming based WAY too heavily on the cartoon's interpretation of the franchise

8 Hotel Mario

At least this one openly confirms that it's a genuine parody of its source material, unlike the Zelda CD-i games

What would you rather play Hotel Mario or a Virtual Boy Mario game.

9 Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest

Even with the overall Final Fantasy series already being the comically generic, overrated and pretentious mainstream dreck that it is (disregarding the existence of entries 4, 6, 9, 12, 15 and to an extent 7), this game is a truly abysmal disgrace to it.

If you thought Chrono Trigger was "Baby's First Fantasy" (which believe me, IT WAS), just wait until you see how pathetically shallow and easy THIS complete train wreck of a game is (DISCLAIMER: Chrono Trigger is still great on its own merits though)

If you think that's bad, just wait to you get a look at the game app Final Fantasy: All the Bravest.

10 Paper Mario: Sticker Star
The Contenders
11 Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun
12 Zelda's Adventure
13 Earthbound Zero

HOW!?! It STARTED its own franchise!

14 Mario Teaches Typing
15 Metroid: Blast Ball
16 Castlevania Pachinko: Erotic Violence
17 Halo 4

For the record I didn't add this.

18 Mario's Early Years: Fun with Letters
19 Mario is Missing
20 The Sims Online
21 Mighty No. 9
22 Mobile Fighter G Gundam (Java)
23 Mega Man Soccer
24 Mass Effect: Andromeda

I am disappointed...

25 Call of Duty: Ghosts
