[My Example]:.________________________________________
A game which I think it not well known is Atelier Iris 1, 2, and now 3. True, it got a few fans to have 3 in the serise, but it isn't as well known as... let say Final Fantasy or the Tales of game.
The three games has nothing to do with each other but their basic concept is the same. It is a turn-base RPG, but it's systhesis system and mana system can give a twist. First of all, you gather food and items to make your own food, medication, and weapones. Second, with the power of mana, you get to raise character's stats as well as solvepuzzles and gain new ability depends on which character you equipe said mana on.
I only played the 1 and 3 but it's quirky character and unique designs keeps me laughing though out both of the story. If you have some free time, this is one of the games I recommand you to pick up cause it is a funny and fun old time RPG to play. ^_^
So now I shared my, what games do you all think deserves a little more attition then it had got?

It was obviously a very high-budget game, the excellent graphics and sound/music give that away. I do NOT understand why it sold so badly, this is one of THE best games I've ever played. The dynamic music, which might be some of the best VG music I've ever heard, really gives the game a great atmosphere, and the replayability is awesome, since F-Zero GX is hard as nails, and it'll take a lot of practice to be able to beat the Master difficulty. Amusement Vision has really outdone themselves.
This game is worth any amount of money, and although the multiplayer isn't as good as Mario Kart's, you'll have a ton of fun playing F-Zero GX.

Contact: While not as un-hyped as others, a lot of people don't know what this game is. It's innovative "contact the game world" concept actually started me thinking, unlike other games. The combat is new, and doesn't rely on button mashing, the graphics are wonderful, and there are all sorts of underlying subjects in it. I'm not sure how well it sold, but I'm betting it was not too much. Coming from Grasshopper and Suda 51, the people behind Killer 7, it has to be good, but not many people bought it.
Pretty much the same thing with Electroplankton. It is a beautiful game, yet not many people bought it. I can understand this a little better than Contact though, because you have to be a certain kind of person to like this game.

Yes, this is that F-Zero. It's extremelly hard, but if I was able to unlock every single thing in the game, and that means having to finish GP's on Master difficulty with some of the very bad vehicles, than others can do it too.

Pikmin. Aren't too little, but they didn't sell nearly enough as it should have. Dammit, lack of Nintendo ad's. Great game and if anybody critisizes it for being too short, I will actually kill them.

I have to say the Breath of Fire games. They were pretty cool. I think the first was better than the second, but both have a good storyline and interesting characters.

I've always felt that the 'Destroy All Humans' series isn't as popular as it should be. It's a fun series, even if the second game was a bit weaker than the original.

Metroid Zero Mission. Just because it's a remake, doesn't mean that it's just an updated version. It's still an awesome game.
