47. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team

I don't really like the word "underrated" mostly because of the misuse of the word. But it is what I would use to describe this game. Critics overall didn't like this game too much and to an extent I can see why, PMD: Red Rescue Team is very repetitive and the gameplay is rather simplistic. The main focus which is dungeon crawling is about as basic as it can be and it is very easy. But what holds this game up is the charm and the combat system. The graphics, music and writing are all very cute, touching and charming, trying to hate on this game is like trying to hate on a puppy. The writing especially is very good and probably my favourite thing about this game, all the different characters are unique, what they say is witty and one of the first games to make me tear up a little bit, one of the main things that kept me playing. The Pokemon combat system also transitioned very well, it works practically the same way it works in the main line games with a few changes to the strength of certain moves. Those qualities made the game for me and why I feel it deserves a place on this list, without those, PMD would just be another generic dungeon crawl, thankfully it is not.

Hint for 46: This series which this fighting game is a part of always gets made fun of for it's ridiculous naming conventions.

#46 - E-99 and an alternate take on history. Made by the same people who made Wolfentstein(2009)

Nah, not Wipeout. I'm surprised two people guessed the same thing

Well, there's a lot of potential games I suppose.

Project Gotham Racing 4?

Street Fighter Something? I'm gonna guess IV.

It's boring and undeserved, but I don't think we can do anything about it.

About your #46... F-Zero: Climax?

Damn, there are a lot of dead racing series

Let me try a less vague hint then... huh... it's not really the "last" game, as the series got a little spin-off a few years ago.

Just checked previous years... and yeah, now I'm very much hoping it is something different this time as well.

With more participants than any previous year though there may well be a bit of a change


Chrono Trigger and FF6 managed to sneak into 3rd and 2nd a few years back so we might be able to topple Super Mario 64 but I think only a miracle will take down OOT.

Yeah it's IV. I wanted to make some stupid joke based around Dan Hibiki's ultra I being amazing but I couldn't think of anything clever without being too obscure.



Yeah nothing will topple OoT, or indeed the Nintendo dominance. After all last year only 10% of games in the Top 20 couldn't be played on a Nintendo system, and 17 of those were Nintendo exclusives!

But wait, 10% of 20 is 2, so how can 17 out of 2 games that can't be played on Nintendo platforms be Nintendo exclusives?

17 of the 18 games; but I'm sure you knew that

Being pedantic helps noone, apparently. And you only won Smash because of the lag! Not bitter about that at all...
