Muramasa: The Demon Blade - Around 200,000 units sold, but for how many people love games of this kind and whine about 'core' titles on Wii, this game should have sold way more.

Dragon Quest V DS - Sure it sold like candy in Japan, but outside Japan, it barely scratched 100,000 in sales. For a game even critics agree is one of the best RPGs on the DS and one of the best to come from Japan. But its lack of sales may not be due to people not buying the game as much as a lack of advertising and stock of the game on the shelves.

Kirby's Canvas Curse - Oh sure, 700,000 units isn't horrible. But compared even to an avg Kirby game or the avg sales of a Nintendo based DS game, the sales were very low. And they shouldn't have been, for easily one of the most fun and unique titles on the DS to this day. Though the game no longer being in print may be a cause to its lower sales rate.

Any Metroid Title - Again, while avg numbers for a Metroid game hover around 1.5 million and this is nothing to sneeze at, with a franchise such as Metroid, they should be higher. Especially when people claim to hold the series up to the same level as Mario and Zelda. Especially with games like Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission, the games should have sold much better.
