| Soleron said: What games do you like that didn't sell well but you believe are great games ad that everyone should have the opportunity to try them? -- For me, it is the Advance Wars series. It's a turn-based strategy series for the GBA and DS (though earlier games existed for the NES and SNES). It's easy to get into but very challenging towards the end of each game, and the cartoon-like style means it is less serious and overwhelming than other strategy games but is a very fun experience... especially if you're winning. |
Not sure if Advance Wars series counts as a cult game. The title, to me, appears to be THE benchmark title for wargames on ALL consoles, and particularly handhelds. It probably is the all-time best-selling console wargame series, and the reason why we have wargames on the DS, and other consoles now. Wargames here being turn-based of course.
So, I would put Advance Wars above "cult" title and say it is a "niche" title that the only reason why it isn't more popular is the size of the market for turn-based wargames.
I would say Civ:Rev got on the DS, due in part, to the success of the Advance Wars series.
