Good list, thanks.

Why do you need to know what games do this? It really isn't something amazing that should happen in all (or any) game.
I don't need to know it. I am just curious cause i am interested in game design.
All games should start with your character having max powers?

A lot of games which are sequels do this in the beginning of the game, often before you even get control of what is happening. For instance, in both the Half Life 2 episodes, Gordon starts off having lost all his weaponry after an explosion in the citadel.

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 2 kinda does this. The end of Soul Reaver (cliff hanger) you have accumulated all the powers in the game, then when Soul Reaver 2 starts you have absolutely nothing. So its kinda like Gothic in that respect.

Hmm..I didn't know that about Aquaria. *slams the download demo button a million times*

Anyway, I'm sure someone already told you this but well you don't start out with all the items in SOTN. Just some of the best.

TVTropes presents its readers with huge, unfiltered, disorganized lists of crap that could be informative or entertaining, but ultimately fail to be either.

More importantly, TVTropes readers descend to the point where they discuss a topic, and just name a trope with a hotlink to the trope as though a huge disorganized list of facts somehow constitutes a point of discussion.

Rant over.

For the Metroid Games, I particularly liked Metroid Prime 2, where the design was that your gear was stolen, and you had to fight the aliens using it against you. The alien that gives the high jump powerup keeps leaping on the high ledges, the speed ball alien rolls up and rams you, etc. It made it feel a lot more like I was taking the weapons back, rather than arbitrarily killing a boss and then getting an unrelated goodie.

Damn, that sounds pretty cool. It bet that's the closest we'll get to seeing a good 3D Mega Man game.  :D

Anyway, why hasn't anyone brought up Onimush 3 yet? I only watched it get played but I loved how you get to start out with most of the strongest weapons.
