Let's not name unreleased games yet, because they might suck.
To be a "cult hit," in my eyes, the game must have very little following among the mainstream crowd but share a small but extremely devoted fanbase among certain gamers. Something like Super Mario Galaxy wouldn't apply because it's a popular title, and something like Eye of Judgment, Folklore, or Blue Dragon don't count either because they don't have that borderline-nutcase fanbase extolling every virtue of the game in their sleep.
In my eyes, here's the cult hits so far this gen:
EDF 2017
Zack & Wiki
No More Heroes
Puzzle Quest
Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan
Phoenix Wright
Loco Roco
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
