Other more 'known': Prince of Persia - Forgotten Sands Lara Croft: Anniversary Go Vacation
90% of that list is the type of game I said I didn't want on the list in the first post. I'm not looking for games that someone thinks didn't do well enough, games that someone thinks were underated, or games that you feel more people should have played.
Most of those games got a good amount of media coverage regardless of whether or not they suceeded. In fact those are some of the biggest named 3rd party titles to come out on the system.
I'm looking for games that received next to no coverage but were really good and hardly anyone knows they exist. Games like Kororinpa and Trackmania.
Kororinpa. Most people will take a look at it and not give much more thought to it.
Trackmania
What are you talking about? You don't get more obscure than 90% of these games. Except for PoP:SoT & LC:A (under 'other' for that reason) none of these games had any marketing.
It's not like I listed MH3, Madworld, Conduit, CoD, Red Steel, De Blob, etc or even the Zack & Wiki, Maramosa, Little King Story etc which everyone knows (if no one bought).
Onslaught got more publicity than many of these I listed and that meets your definition? Kororinpa and Trackmania had as much coverage as any other on the list. Your definition of 'coverage' seems to be purely based on your own perception and little else.
Show me all of this coverage. The games you listed I can find moutains of press footage and hype about everywhere. Show me this for Kororinpa, Trackmania or Onslaught.
Like I said, there is a difference between underated and uknown. All of those games you are tyring to list were extremely talked about and hyped with huge followings that simply fell through upon their release. I not looking for games that you don't feel did as well as they should have. This isn't about sales or affection.
I'm looking for games that no one really cares about but are still fun games. I'm looking for games that got little to no attention at large. Games that most peole would write off as shovelware but were actually pretty good. Games that would probably never appear on a list of the best or biggest games on the system.
The games you listed appear on every list everywhere. They are the most noted games on the Wii.
