Apparently there was a sequel to Zombies Ate My Neighbors! A terrible sequel. Which has been rated by the Australian rating board as a Virtual Console title, meaning we may someday be able to play this on the Wii. This interesting article tells you a bit about it (and does a pretty good job of convincing you to never play it).

There’s more info on GameCola, too, although I find the ending statement a bit specious:

People hate Ghoul Patrol…but what they’re not seeing is that they kind of want to. Why do people want sequels to be superior to the originals, anyway? If Ghoul Patrol surpassed ZAMN like everyone wanted it to, you’d have no reason to ever play ZAMN again, would you? Ghoul Patrol is the perfect sequel. It’s different but feels like the original, and it isn’t so great that you can’t appreciate the original.

I mean, he’s right, you know? Sequels should be worse than their predecessors so that we won’t stop liking the earlier games. For shame, Assassin’s Creed 2. For shame.
