(Famicom Detective Club 2: Tale of the Girl in Back)

Very fun game, if... text-based adventure games are your thing.
Nice graphics for a 'SNES' game, and a decently long title, with a gripping story.

Think... Eh... Hotel Dusk-y.

Nobody I personally know can get into those kinds of games.

If you enjoy the Ace Attorney games, I couldn't recommend this hard enough.

For a SNES Visual Novel to be fan-translated... It must be good.
I'll add it to my 'To Read' list

the Video game industry is a difficult market, and a profitable one if done well.

Not every game made sells well, but not every game made well sells.

Little kings story. Zack and Wiki. Earthbound (Mother). Henry Hatsworth.
These names, to most people, mean nothing. And it's not because they where bad games.
Why? Not an easy answer there. Sometimes it's a lack of advertisement. Maybe it was the way it was presented to them.

Regardless, this is the place to post these titles. so that they may be remembered, and, if found in the bargain bin, snapped up.

Post any and all games that didn't get the recognition they deserved.

I don't really know if this is underrated or just not recognized as much, but I think The World Ends With You, could be considered a gem that was missed by many. It really was a stunning game, with stunning audio (my opinion at least) and an excellent combat system. I also like the storyline, unfortunately I wasn't able to finish it though... I really would love a sequel.

Magicka!

I never heard of it until a few months ago, magic adventure game.
The combat system is amazing, literally hundreds of spell combinations. Can be played in local co-op if it doesn't crash (game is full of bugs).
Co-op is where the game shines though, huge explosions and friendly fire everywhere.
play it now and enjoy

There are quite a few flash games that are worth playing, but are pretty hard to find beneath all the cruddy ones. Try One Chance on Newgrounds; it's not so much a game as an short, interactive story, but you'll remember it for a while after you've finished.

Canyon Defense on Miniclip is my favorite tower defense game. It's not really good, but I played it a lot.

Fluidity is one of the best games on WiiWare, and almost no one I know has played it. You just move your character around and solve puzzles, but the twist is that your character is a puddle of water and can do basically anything water can do. It's a really unique and refreshing game.

Second Sight

It the best game Free Radical (former developers of GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark) made outside of the TimeSplitters series. They took some risks with this one because it was a third-person game that utilized psychic gameplay mechanics unlike the rest of their projects. Too bad Haze was the last thing they made before they merged with CryTek.

Why Sadly?, Tetris is awesome!

Sin & Punishment. A N64 game that came out in Japan during 2001. It wasn't translated until 2007 in other regions. The only way to play an official non-Japanese copy is the Wii Virtual Console. I do recommend playing because of the fact that this game is TOTALLY INSANE¡!
It's a rail shooter, but you can move sideways and jump instead of being stuck in one spot. In addition to shooting, you have a melee attack when an enemy gets close that can also bounce back missiles. Get it for 1200 Wii points.
