I see no reason why bonus games can't be made. It's no good saying, "What else is there for Munch to do now?" because after AO we didn't really know that Abe more work to do shutting down SoulStorm Brewery and rescuing the spirits of Necrum - it added a whole new plot that both supported and extended upon the original Oddysee, even helping to set things up for the introduction of Munch. Munch has got more to do now than Abe had after his first game, namely raising all those baby Gabbits.
I would go so far as to say I'd be disappointed if each game in the Quintology didn't have at least one bonus game. I'd rather OWI got on with the Quintology - the story we've all been following for the last 5 years - than produce games like OW4 and Hand of Odd, although I understand Lorne's desire to get away from his weak heroes for a bit. Here's hoping that OW4 will contribute towards the story of the Quintology, hence justifying itself.
