A few games with a sub-Green rating on Metacritic:
- Classic NES series (GBA) - Most of these had mediocre reviews at best, but they were generally solid ways to play classic games for a reasonable price in 2004, with the smaller screen size being compensated for with minor tweaks here and there.
- Code Name STEAM - A really fun tactical strategy game with third-person shooter mechanics and a great sense of style.
- Kirby Air Ride - It was mostly wel-remembered for the City Trial mode, but it was one heck of a mode.
- Kirby Star Allies - Not my favorite Kirby game, but it deserves a lot of credit for being so expansive, especially with the free DLC. Effectively dozens of playable characters in a platformer, 40+ levels, around 30 bossesx and mini-bosses not counting harder variants, a 200+ song soundtrack, etc. The game's main flaw, its somewhat simple level designs, is largely a casualty of making stages convenient for 4 person multiplayer, and multiplayer is the best way to play the game.
- Pokemon Battle Revolution - Not a great game, but the animations from this launch era Wii game are often better than the modern Pokemon games.
- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series - The GBA and DS era entries have fandoms that are still kicking to this day, which is shocking considering how lukewarm the reception for these games was.
- Yoshi's New Island - It is one of the most forgettable Nintendo games I've ever played, but that also means I have no bad memories from playing it.
