Including a game because it was influential =/= excluding a game because it wasn't influential. This would be like making an exception to let a convict go because he's dying of cancer, and then immediately asking why that one prisoner who got parole on good behavior, but doesn't have cancer got out. Remember we're discussing making an exception for Wii Sports, because it sold well, and was influential, like I did with Smash 64. 

I'm saying that once you make one exception, you're just inevitably going to get a whole bunch of debating on why other exceptions were made, Wii Sports case-in-point considering how massive it was, selling more than every Super Smash Bros. game combined (not to mention that it spawned a sequel which does meet your criteria, yet you omitted that for some reason).

Yeah, I legitimately missed that one. Also missed Majora's Mask, and Bayonetta 2 at first. 

 When a game is free or a pack-in sales are meaningless. Why? Because when you're giving your game away, there's no such thing as sales. 

But, again this thread needs to be redone, with sales figures instead of aggregate review scores.
