Ignoring Mr Wrong.

7th gen had some good hidden emotional gems. Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom. Lost in Shadow. Lost in rain. Fragile Dreams. These are some good to fantastic games no one played.

Fragile Dreams is esp great and stuck on Wii, it's a supernatural post-apocalypse emotional RPG. Fantastic music and a looker for a Wii game.

Sony sent Lost in rain (or just rain) to die as it launched the same month on PS3 the PS4 launched. It's similar to an Ico. Tho you are spirits and the only time you can be seen is in the rain.

Lost in Shadow is cool game and one of the last from Hudson Soft.  You play as a boy's shadow climbing a tower to reclaim his body. The Wii remote is the guide a butterfly that can manipulate platforms to cast shadows. The boy's shadow can only platform on shadows.

Majin an d the Forsaken Kingdom. You play as a thief and meet a big monster and together you solve puzzles to get through each stage. The monster is adorable and they have great chemistry.

A game wins 7th gen alone. Sin & Punishment Star Successor. Nothing to do with the other games mentioned but that game is so good I had to sneak it in.

Yeah Sin & Punishment was fantastic.

The Wii had a lot of hidden gems; Muramasa The Demon Blade, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, Dead Space Extraction, No More Heroes 1 and 2, Red Steel 2, World of Goo, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Art of Balance, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, de Blob 1 and 2, House of the Dead Overkill...

PS3 and 360 had some good ones as well, like Binary Domain, Spec Ops The Line, Singularity, and Puppeteer.

Yeah, I think this is what helps Wii top WiiU in the context of this conversation. WiiU hosted some amazing, all-time great games -- games like Super Mario 3D World, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, and, if you want to count it, Breath of the Wild. But so did Wii. It supported several brilliant titles, including Super Mario Galaxy 1/2; Super Smash Bros. Brawl; Twilight Princess; Wii Sports Resort; Donkey Kong Country Returns; Metroid Prime 3; and, arguably the best game of the entire generation, Xenoblade Chronicles. The difference is that between those big productions Nintendo and its third-party partners released a lot of great "AA" projects to fill in the gaps: Sin & Punishment, No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki, Muramasa, Little King's Story, Punch-Out!!, Smooth Moves, City Folk, Radiant Dawn, Excite Truck/Bots, Epic Mickey, Trauma Center, etc. There was depth and variety on Wii that didn't manifest on WiiU.
