It wasn't good enough for MS since it got a tiny digital-only release as a sequel and anyway, my main point is that it's a shame they never got to make MP3.

It is highly rumoured they are making an Alan Awake 2. Selling past 4.5 million (not including digital I believe) it made quite a bit of money for Microsoft which is amazing considering it released the same date as red dead redemetion.

We'll see. MS doesn't have the brightest record with developers they work with.



It's not a flop,but deserves much more sales,for its quality,Shadow of the Colossus one of the best games of all time.

Most recent one would probably be Rayman Legends.

Is it considered a flop? It sold over 3m in all consoles.

MS is mean to many developers/publishers. However, that is how they are so successful. Nice finish lasts in this world no matter what anyone tells you.

Eternal Darkness, F-Zero GX, Viewtiful Joe, Battalion Wars, and probably a bunch of other GC games that I'm currently forgetting.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Starting to feel like it's the Wii U library in general lol

So many great games that most will never play... just look at how poorly Bayonetta 2 and DK Tropical Freeze have sold, for instance.

Trying to think of something else... maybe the Kessen series? Did that sell well? Never knew anyone that played it but I loved it back on the Playstation 2.

Oh, as my avatar suggests I always felt FFIX got unfairly overlooked as far as Final Fantasy games go. It has gained in popularity with time, but it didn't sell like its predecessors or successor did.

Kessen series is awesome but it got 3 games and spiritual successors. Which is why I put down Dynasty Tactics 2 instead, as its spiritual succesor only just got announced after 13 years.

I really enjoyed the Dynasty Tactics series too, though sometimes I felt it was a tad too restrictive (there were some fights were it was clear they wanted you to make a few specific moves). Trying to set it up so that you could chain 2 or 3 attacks in a row and take out Lu Bu in one go was a lot of fun though heh, very excited to hear they're making a sequel!

I suppose, if we want to go back a ways, there's plenty of quality games that got overlooked as they were released in the twilight years of a system.

On the Nintendo, for instance, the famously expensive Little Samson was a superb game that I've only played on emulators, and perhaps the most impressive achievement on the system never released in North America and is hardly known by anyone these days (Mr. Gimmick/Gimmick!). 

I'm sure most consoles have some game like this whose only crime is releasing onto a console that people had lost interest in.

Ride to Hell: Retribution.

Cause it didn't deserve "weak sales," it didn't deserve to "flop," it deserved to have every copy taken, microwaved, burned, and buried  in a shallow grave at the bottom of the ocean and the creators fined for crimes against common decency.

Can you believe I still find some retailers that want to sell it for 40€? After all this time?

On topic, my answer is Megaman Zero collection and the ZX and ZX advent games. Some of the best platforming games ever made, and Capcom made such poor work at its distribution they barely sold any. I still want to buy those, dammit.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

The Wonderful 101 deserved a whole lot more than it got.
