AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Talk about games that no one really knows about/doesn't think about/totally forgot about.

EXAMPLE:



Viewiful Joe on the DS is one of the most faithful console-to-handheld transitions I've ever seen. It retains the charm and style of the original and gives it to you to-go. The graphics and sound are all great.

Pick this up if you find it. You can get it cheap.

That's all.

I so need to get that.

I've only played the DS version, but it was very fun. I didn't get that watered down, "Oh my god this is such a childs game" feeling I get when I played this, either.

I bought that used. It's amazing.



Seriously, this is an amazing deal.

I see no reason not to own a Wii. There are so many great games. They just happen to get buried under the tons of crap.

Example:



I HATE soccer, but I love this game. It's so much fun.

Tales of the Abyss. Good game, but olol no marketing at all.

Namco =/= smart

JOY MECH FIGHT

I'm probably the only person to have this in Newfoundland, if not Canada. But that's a bit of a stretch.

Torizo both of those got critically masturbated over. Earthbound got it when Super Smash Bros. Melee came out, Okami got it when it came out on Wii.

I was actually looking forward to this thread. I am cheap so I like looking for good, cheap videogames without waiting a year after it has launched.

Critically, but barely anyone paid attention until several years after they were released. Both sold poorly and were considered financial flops.

Personally I don't count the Wii version of Okami because Capcom didn't even give credit to Clover (albeit disbanded) or any of the real creative talent behind the game.

I'd barely say either were underrated just because they were paid attention to after their time.

EarthBound is full of adult humour that kids just wouldn't get, and how many parents played the SNES back in those days?

I agree with you on Clover not getting credit, but just because they were not credited does not mean Okami was by any means underrated when it came out on Wii (Admittedly, the console it felt like it should have been made for)
