What about Super Contra? No home ports and personally I never knew it even existed until a few years ago, despite being a big fan of the first one. Then there is Spelunker 2, both the Nes one and the Arcade one. Super Contra is Super C. The name was left intact on the Famicom but the NES version changed the name because of politics.
Damn, I didn't even connect the two.

To be honest the Arcade Contras are different enough that they're almost separate games from the NES ports.
Also, I wonder how many Battletoads or Double Dragon fans remember the crossover game?

Battletoads & Double Dragon wasn't that great, though.
I hadn't heard about Triad Wars. Really sad considering how good Sleeping Dogs was (It only took three games to get the True Crime formula to work right), but going multiplayer only was just stupid.
Also I had Heart of the Alien. Loved that game every bit as much as the original, even if the ending was depressing as hell.

Sega Bass Fishing or Get Bass had a sequel -Sega Marine Fishing. Which do you think is more "well-known"?

Marine Fishing wasn't probably as popular as Bass Fishing, but it might be more known than the actual Bass Fishing 2 and the Playstation 2 game.

Ok, next one: Air Combat vs Air Combat 22. Who's played the latter one? I suspect it wasn't a genuine sequel, more like an update.

Having played Air Combat 22 multiple times and seeing an upright(?) Air Combat cabinet in the wild once. I can tell you that they are two different games.

Here's one I was just reminded of today when looking stuff up for the "Japanese FPSes" thread: X-Scape, the DSi-exclusive sequel to X for the Game Boy: www.mobygames.com/game/x-scapeNow there's a game that came and went with zero fanfare.

How about Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory, the arcade sequel to Burgertime? Anyone? Anyone? Actually, all of the Burgertime sequels qualify for this thread. Anyone played Super Burgertime (arcade, 1990) or the Intellivision-exclusive sequel, Diner?

Westwood Studios' Dune 2 is one of, if not the biggest foundation stone for the Real Time Strategy genre as we know it, but how many remember they also made a Dune 2000? Lots of people IMO, it was released when RTS was all the hype and Westwood were "those guys that made C&C", so, royalty. Two Crude Dudes, if it counts. Also, I wonder how many Battletoads or Double Dragon fans remember the crossover game? It's less obscure than the Neo Geo game, IMO. And while I'm not sure how popular the cartoon was in the US, I've never seen a DD5 cart in the wild. Not so with BT&DD. Battletoads & Double Dragon wasn't that great, though. Still the best Battletoads game available on consoles.

I've seen a couple DD5 carts in the wild... didn't strike me as that good. The cartoon is hilariously bad but with a catchy theme song.

Battlemorph, the sequel to Cybermorph is not often talked about but when brought by those who had the chance to play it, its mostly positive.
Another one would be Power Drive Rally for the Jaguar, a sequel to Power Drive on Mega Drive and SNES.

Who could forget Quest: Fantasy Challenge, the Game Boy Color-exclusive sequel to Quest 64 that followed up its RPG predecessor with a, uhh, Mr. Do clone?
And then there was Quest: Brian's Journey, also a GBC exclusive, which was a sort-of sequel, sort-of "demake" of Quest 64.
what a strange trajectory that series took.
