Biggest killer AP failure: Gundam Musou and Motorstorm. Sold well but were far from reaching the status they were hyped too.

Luigi's Mansion.

In terms of failure to be a killer app, the entire Resident Evil lineup for the GCN, which seemed to do nothing to help sales.

Anyway....

Not a bad list. Doubt I could compile a better one, though I'd likely put SMB to #1, simply because it was one of the first arcade games to be accurately ported to a home console, and it pretty much sold the NES which then salvaged the gaming industry. At least that's how I see it.

 

 Super Mario 1 was remade for the arcades well after the NES version (it incorporated some of the areas from Lost Levels), and even if it was an arcade port, Street Fighter II on the SNES was more of a killer app of that type.
