Mega Man X: Command Mission is probably one of THE best things to happen to the X series, period. It's a shame it sold so poorly. It really was a breath of fresh air. I mean, the main enemy wasn't Sigma, Zero actually was really a SIDE CHARACTER for a change... I mean... yeesh! ...in fact, I think I wanna replay it now. Thankkkk you!
You know what I think is the most underrated game? Mario Party 9. I personally loved the car gimmick, it adds a bit of strategy, and I'm actually glad it's returning in MP10.
I guess the presence of a Castlevania fighting game raises my hopes of Simon Belmont getting in Smash alongside Snake. Also, I consider Sonic Chronicles to be one of the most underrated Sonic games of all time which makes me really want another Sonic RPG.
lightyearpig12 Same here in fact I'm hoping Sega gets together with their new acquisition Atlus and make a Sonic RPG that's a crossover with either Shin Megami Tensei or Persona.
lightyearpig12 Chronicles was actually pretty fun. Pretty much any RPG with a nifty NG+ and decent leveling and gear system is great in my opinion, and Sonic Chronicles fits that description perfectly. Only complaint is that the Special Attack minigames are too tricky.
Derrick Haggard HELL YEAH!! Now, if only more RPG games had a good leveling system (FF 13 I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU) and a New Game+ feature, to allow yourself to reach new levels of insanity before the final boss, only to start over until you reach godly levels of power!
THANK YOU for bringing up Fist of The North Star: Ken's Rage. Have you played the second one yet? That one's even better in my opinion. Also, as great as Ken is, I enjoy using the Nanto warriors like Rei and Shin even more.
Lol I love Josh's cameo hahaha. Awesome of him to take time to help you out there Quarter. You know #1 looks awesome, but multitasking is one of my major weaknesses so I don't know if I'll get it. I'll definitely look at that other Wii game with the monkey because that looks like a game I generally play.
I think the .Hack games could use some love, and the Sengoku Basara games. Those ate the two that are overshadowed in my opinion. Also I discovered the Drakengard series and Nier, looks cool and it's VERY underrated.
Personally, I think Sonic Chronicles is pretty underrated. Mainly for the "being completely different game play-wise" reason, but it's one of my favorite RPG games. plus, it's one of the only games where you might actually like Big the Cat. The guy's a f@#%ing tank!
Two words: FOSSIL FIGHTERS! I keep on hearing that it's just a Pokemon ripoff, while I believe the game play is vastly different and (flame shield up) better then Pokemon! 1: The main game play is like a triple battle (even though it came 3 years before Pokemon black and white) with 3 on 3 battles making for much more strategical possibilities. 2: NO WILD ENCOUNTERS! Instead in true fossil hunting fashion you dig up the fossils, and later you clean the fossil in a fun and frantic way. 3: The story is better with more plot twists(though Champions had the better plot by far but the first game's story still tramples on the basic Pokemon plot, even with its absurdity) 4: Come on you fight with elemental dinosaurs under your command! How awesome is that!?
I agree that Dynasty Warriors and FOTNS: Ken's Rage and Arcana Heart is awesome. But for this once... I actually could see about why they raged about Castlevania Judgment. Those who knew about the Castlevania lore are pissed on what characterization they gave into the characters. I mean, who would expect that Maria became a breast-envying girl? Or how about Grant being 'jealous' at the Trevor-Sypha marriage (or how did the anime-based designer instead gave him a MUMMY design when he's just a normal pirate in the past)? While Sypha turning out to be a rather hypocritical dark-creature hunter in her past? Maybe I could give the gameplay a bit of a shot, and perhaps praise it, but... I can understand the bad rap it got and I'm kind of pissed at some characterizations. Don't get me wrong, I'd say some like Simon are portrayed nicely, but... some characters don't get really lucky and instead get a rather not-quite-accurate-as-the-original portrayal. Arguments can be said at how it fleshes out the characterizations than the minimum ones, but... guess it's just a love-or-hate stuff. What about you, though, QG, do you appreciate some of the new characterizations?
Well, the games I want to see in a top-10 overlooked games is: Psychonauts [Someone did review that as a overlooked game so.] Darkcloud series Starocean series
I think the Mega Man Star Force Trilogy was pretty under appreciated, have you ever played them Quarter Guy, their really great games, espically the third one, oh man Star Force 3 Black Ace, defiantly one of the best Mega Man games EVER!!!!!!
Zeromega159 Could be. I'd actually mention Spec Ops The Line as well, but thanks to a certain British critic living in Australia, that game has gotten some recognition it needed.
I found the character around a coffin close to shademan where you found him I think and he is supposed to be sealed as Bowtike is standing there and he apparently gives you a new chip for some kind of sun gun. Which is kind of useful in boss battles.
in the words of gaijin goomba: tanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktanktank!!!!!
I hated Axl in Mega Man X 7. Why? Well, let me sum it up with the reactions. Axl (Mega Man X 7): If you keep misbehaving, you won't get your snack! Me: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Axl (Mega Man X Command Mission): I'm sure he is. Don't worry. Zero would never go down without a fight! Me: Much better.
In my PERSONAL OPINION, I kinda liked Axl's voice in X7. It was a bit annoying at first, but I get to accept that it sounded younger than the other voices, which I thought was alright, given that Axl is practically around my age (13 years), so it would make sense that his voice is a bit annoying, showing that very childish side.
I'm personally heartbroken that the Klonoa series never got the attention it deserves, especially the 2 main games. There's just so much charm, imagination and emotion piled up in such incredibly fun platformers, it just baffles me how no one even acknowledges this series
Lol! I thought you were Armada in the beginning :) Also, I recently found my F-Zero X and GX games, can't put em down! Such great racing games, GX is my favourite racing game next to Split Second (if you have a 360, DEFINITELY get split second on xbox live arcade. you wont regret it)
I just thought I'd say: EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE GAMES WAS AWESOME! Now, before I go on, I will say that I have never played Arcana Heart (aside from in Japan when the arcade version was out and I spent literally 5000 yen on it), but I have ALWAYS wanted to own it myself. I love it to death because it's such a wonderful fighting game. I never thought there would be a fighting game I liked more than BlazBlue and AquaPazza, but Arcana Heart proved that the best fighting game on the face of the planet had flown under my radar for years. Also, while I 99% agree with your list, you should have included Muramasa: Rebirth for the PSVita...
Hey Adam. I love playing unknown games, here are some of my favorites that I think you should try. Elite Beat Agents, Radiant Historia, A Boy and His Blob, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Beyond Good and Evil.
I actually happen to have an underrated gem made by the same developers, too! The game is called Killer is Dead, a hack'n'slash game which I and a few other people happen to like, but others don't.
Funny you mentioned that. I watched, like, one and half episodes recently (I got called in for something and I never really picked it up again...) and I found it fun. I plan to revisit it soon.
You sir, have an exquisite taste, when it come's to videogames. (That means it is similar to mine) Zack & Wiki, Sin & Punishment Star Successor, Lunar Kinghts, Kid Icarus Uprising, Wonderful 101, Okami and many many more overlooked but superb titles!
1.- Considering I'm not into that style of games, i can't really tell. But holy shit, that looks insane. I can't tell since many of them, I have not played(and the fact I have a list of my own in the topic) but it's nice you make some games nobody cared of to be a little more known.
One of my favorites that is underrated is an arcade strategy game from the early 90's called Rampart, and you can find on Midway Arcade Treasures for the Gamecube and other systems. The goal is to shoot enemy ships from your fortified castles with cannons as they provide cannonfire back to destroy your forts. Then you have to rebuild the fort to surround at least one castle to continue, build additional cannons if you left room, and repeat until enough of the enemy fleet is destroyed. It's easy to learn and provides hours of enjoyment, but difficult to master. I daresay beating 1 Player mode is as hard as beating Battletoads on the NES, maybe even harder, if you can believe it. Plus it has multiplayer for up to 3 players for added enjoyment :)
I agree with you about Ken's Rage. As a dynasty warriors fan myself, I wasn't disappointed. Ken's Rage 2 is pretty good as well with it's expanded story and even more dream mode missions.
I would like to recommend a few games! Scribblenauts, Ghost Trick (although it looks like you've already played it), Monster Tale, Metal Saga, Postal 2, and Amazing Island, to name a few. Also I loved the list, very well made.
I think if this list was updated, the wonderful 101 would be up between 5 and 1. Easily my favorite game of all time. Made by platinum games, authors of the bayonetta series, they bring an interesting rpg/platformer game that is a true gem to those who play it. Stunning visuals, amazing characters (green was slightly annoying, but bearable), and the ABSOLUTE BEST BOSS FIGHTS I HAVE EVER FOUGHT. And the replay value is incredible, unlockable characters, medals, attacks, variations of attacks, and extremely hard challenges (that freaking wallgah-goojin ko punch only ate up an entire day of my time), but it is so satisfying.
I could never get boktai to work right. With the Gameboy Advance, I would either have to keep the screen in the shade so I could see what is happening, or put the game in the sun, but couldn't really play the game due to the glare reflecting off the screen. I have been tempted to solder off the UV sensor and replace it with a potentiometer as a workaround rather than a cheat, Though maglights (not the LED kind) do get a bar or two when held to the sensor.
I like your top picks very much and it got me to think to get them and have fun with it. Also like you, I like Castlevania Judgment very much. I can't believe some people hate this game, makes me angry. Thank you dude, hopefully when I get money, I'm going to get those games, mostly Judgement and Sin and Punishment game for the Wii.♥
I have to say after looking at this list....you gave me a new view and games to look into for the future and beyond that I could enjoy. Nice going with this list and to the game you said about for the PS3 your right....people should just stop judging a game before buying it. Makes me anger as a gamer to see that...or to hear it ffor that matter. but again. nice list I will try these games out ^^
It looks like the MegaMan X game featured in this was simmilar to Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Am I right? Or does it just seem like it 'cause of the battle format where you choose what you do ant you see the turn order?
You and cjszero01 made me want to get the Sin and Punishment Star Successor. And I would like to play the Arcana Hearts games if I only had Playstation 2 or 3. I might also get Castlevania Judgement one one day. Only problem is that there are so many games to buy and so little money. :'(
some1 help me! I have lunar knits n yeah its awesome, 4 the 1st hour. idk y but as soon as I kill the fire center the game just seems 2 stop. The spaceship mecha lands n it goes 2 the world screen. idk what I'm doing wrong!
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.... just this game. Though I understood why most people dropped this game particularly the repetitive gameplay but still... most of these "critics" haven't even gotten far from the game to actually judge it! (I'm looking at you IGN). The gameplay, though could get repetitive, was great! I actually felt more RPG here than in the main series. Plus it's freaking challenging! It literarily took me a month to defeat Primal Dialga! The characters.... all lovable and memorable at the same time, everyone was just bursting with personality! And the story.... was just so beautiful that it's almost a miracle! AND IT'S A FREAKING POKÉMON GAME! A series notorious for repetitive storylines has actually created something worth admiring. It took all things I loved at PMD: Rescue team series and made it better! And it only got 6/10 on most reviews?! It just baffles me! The sheer creativity, beautiful story, awesome gameplay and memorable characters has made it to be my most favorite pokemon game of all time.
Boktai series actually got 2 crossovers with MMBN [4&6 (delted in USA alongside an entire area)] and playing MMBN5 Double Team with Boktai cartrige in allows you to get Sollar Crose and there are numerous BattleChips with him.
This was a great list :) The only game that made me sad not to see on here was Fragile Dreams: Farwell Ruins to the Moon. Although it doesn't have a strong replay value, the game itself is an experience and gem with it's characters, visuals, and story. And yes, the voice acting in the game is actually really good. The controls could've used a little more work, but all in all, it's a really nice game. I recommend any gamer to check it out at least once. ^^
I played TANK TANK TANK at an Incredible Pizza one time against my friend and it was awesome. It had one of those chairs where it moved every time you shot and it was great.
I really enjoyed this list, QG! I really shoulda seen #1 coming, though. >_> By the way, Bomberman's partner in the Second Attack looks an awful lot like Kirby.
There is this one GBA game which I've played called Drill Dozer. It has quite the good plotline, and the cool gimmick of the R & L buttons. The only downside is getting to the extra stages, which are generically hidden within the game's upgrade shop.
Hey, I got a game to recommend. It's called Aero the Acro-Bat. You can get it on the Wii's Virtual Console while it (or the second game) is still up there.
Based on your love of 2D shooters, Sin and Punishment, etc. I reccomend Hyper Zone for the SNES. It's a Star Fox esque Mode 7 shooter, with very simple controls and two big gimmicks: 1. The game keeps track of your speed, you have to stay above a certain speed or take damage, and it'll get really hard to dodge at top speed in the later levels. 2. The game has a shifting "track" and if you go outside of its boundries you slowly take damage, giving you little room to work with.
Hey QG! I know a good game that's a turn-based RPG with a few twists! It's called Nostalgia and it was made for the DS! It involves airships, magic, monsters, mysteries, and a crazy adventure that involves looking for the character's father rather than a princess for a change, though you do wind up rescuing a priestess he's been protecting along the way. (Oh and an added educational bonus in the World Treasure hunt where you learn of the treasures of the world, man-made or natural, and a bit of info on them. Like the Great Zimbabwe, Great Heart Reef, and Machu Picchu!) I don't see too many people talking about this gem so I highly recommend it if you want an RPG that is a little different and fun!
Rule of the tumb: If is a anime BASED fighting game, you can count that is pretty much a button masher. And why i did capitalized the word "Based"? Because people seens to misunderstand the words Based and Looking. Blazblue is anime looking fighting games, and it's pretty much one of the most complete fighting games i ever played, and bonus points for having little to no clone characters.
Ah, I loved Bomberman the second attack and MMX Command Mission. Great games. Cool list. But when you mentioned Power Stone, I think that would be a very worthy game for a list like this.
Soul Sacrifice is seriously underrated. The lore behind each monster is amazing, the sacrifice/save system adds loads of variety and the bosses are near Monster Hunter level.
Idk for sure if it is a Boktai Reference or Easter Egg, but in MegaMan Battle Network 4 Blue Moon AND Red Sun, when traveling through the Undernet, you get to find Django The Solar Boy and Master Otenko. They look like the characters in Boktai and they are there to keep ShadeMan from rising from his casket.
My favorite under-appreciated game (or at least game that not many people know about) is Baten Kaitos. It has a great storyline, where a young man named Kalas is attempting to get revenge for his grandfather, which got murdered, a unique way to play, where you use cards to get your weapons and armor (which you don't keep on) and FUN AS HELL FIGHTS (and it's in 2 discs (TWO(TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)))
how about mr.gimmick? It has so many ingenious design choices with perfect visuals and sound for an NES game.Also, check out the kunio kun sport series, really fun multiplayer stuff in that.
I happened to know Boktai from the Megaman Battle Network series because it's always referenced there, like, a lot. Django was even a chip, and in MMBN4 there was even a statue-like figure in the ghost house (part of the main game. You can't miss it)... On complete random I did play Lunar Knights, and I didn't regret it.
Mega Man X: Command Mission is probably one of THE best things to happen to the X series, period. It's a shame it sold so poorly. It really was a breath of fresh air. I mean, the main enemy wasn't Sigma, Zero actually was really a SIDE CHARACTER for a change... I mean... yeesh! ...in fact, I think I wanna replay it now. Thankkkk you!
Major Fredlips
But no..seriously command mission was AWESOOOOME!
You know what I think is the most underrated game? Mario Party 9. I personally loved the car gimmick, it adds a bit of strategy, and I'm actually glad it's returning in MP10.
+HenryRosserGaming74 I find the hate for that game to be seriously uncalled for...honestly, does the car bug people that much?!
+HenryRosserGaming74 I find the hate for that game to be seriously uncalled for...honestly, does the car bug people that much?!
I was watching this video thinking,
"too bad he wont put Sin and Punishment on here"
and then you do for #1 and I'm like,
YESSSSSSSS
SoloVerse I was thinking"I hoped there is Live a Live for the snes." Aaaannndd there is no Live a Live for the snes:'(.
I guess the presence of a Castlevania fighting game raises my hopes of Simon Belmont getting in Smash alongside Snake.
Also, I consider Sonic Chronicles to be one of the most underrated Sonic games of all time which makes me really want another Sonic RPG.
lightyearpig12 Same here in fact I'm hoping Sega gets together with their new acquisition Atlus and make a Sonic RPG that's a crossover with either Shin Megami Tensei or Persona.
lightyearpig12 Chronicles was actually pretty fun. Pretty much any RPG with a nifty NG+ and decent leveling and gear system is great in my opinion, and Sonic Chronicles fits that description perfectly. Only complaint is that the Special Attack minigames are too tricky.
Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life That's true other then that I thought Chronicles was awesome.
Derrick Haggard
HELL YEAH!! Now, if only more RPG games had a good leveling system (FF 13 I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU) and a New Game+ feature, to allow yourself to reach new levels of insanity before the final boss, only to start over until you reach godly levels of power!
+lightyearpig12
I want it too, with Shadow as the main protagonist and Sonic that develops.
I forgot something, Death in that game has the coolest reaper design ever
People are so mean to Super Mario Sunshine. I loved it.
Agree, man. That was one of my many favorite games of my childhood. And I still love it.
Joe Nunyabeeswax Same here bro!
THANK YOU for bringing up Fist of The North Star: Ken's Rage. Have you played the second one yet? That one's even better in my opinion. Also, as great as Ken is, I enjoy using the Nanto warriors like Rei and Shin even more.
I do not mind being outside... It is just glare from the sun often makes it hard to see things on a LCD screen.
Lol I love Josh's cameo hahaha. Awesome of him to take time to help you out there Quarter. You know #1 looks awesome, but multitasking is one of my major weaknesses so I don't know if I'll get it. I'll definitely look at that other Wii game with the monkey because that looks like a game I generally play.
I think the .Hack games could use some love, and the Sengoku Basara games. Those ate the two that are overshadowed in my opinion. Also I discovered the Drakengard series and Nier, looks cool and it's VERY underrated.
Jubei fighting meta knight? MAKE A WHOLE VIDEO OUT OF THAT! I'D WATCH IT 2 MILLION TIMES
Personally, I think Sonic Chronicles is pretty underrated. Mainly for the "being completely different game play-wise" reason, but it's one of my favorite RPG games. plus, it's one of the only games where you might actually like Big the Cat. The guy's a f@#%ing tank!
Great list, Quarter Guy! The JoshScorcher cameo actually made me laugh out loud.
Two words: FOSSIL FIGHTERS! I keep on hearing that it's just a Pokemon ripoff, while I believe the game play is vastly different and (flame shield up) better then Pokemon! 1: The main game play is like a triple battle (even though it came 3 years before Pokemon black and white) with 3 on 3 battles making for much more strategical possibilities. 2: NO WILD ENCOUNTERS!

How awesome is that!?
I thought I was the only one... Thank you. I love the series to death.
He HATES when people call Dynasty Warriors a button-masher. Watch part 1 of Top Fifteen Worst Cliches and you'll see what I mean.
That music from JoJo's Bizzarre Adventure from Capcom. ^^
Okami is not a gem. It's a freaking DIAMOND with stunning GLORY.
I agree that Dynasty Warriors and FOTNS: Ken's Rage and Arcana Heart is awesome. But for this once... I actually could see about why they raged about Castlevania Judgment.
Those who knew about the Castlevania lore are pissed on what characterization they gave into the characters. I mean, who would expect that Maria became a breast-envying girl?

What about you, though, QG, do you appreciate some of the new characterizations?
Of all these games I have only played Zack and Wiki, also I think Skies of Arcadia is an Underappreciated gem so check it out guys
I'd have to say that Final Fantasy 5 was underappreciated.
The Legendary Starfy is so underrated.
I loved the TankTankTank!
First top ten of yours I've ever watched. Easy subscription. This video was really good.
Wait wait wait
THERE'S ANOTHER BOMBERMAN 64?!
WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME
I KNOW RIGHT?!
Well, the games I want to see in a top-10 overlooked games is:
Psychonauts [Someone did review that as a overlooked game so.]
Darkcloud series
Starocean series
I think the Mega Man Star Force Trilogy was pretty under appreciated, have you ever played them Quarter Guy, their really great games, espically the third one, oh man Star Force 3 Black Ace, defiantly one of the best Mega Man games EVER!!!!!!
But DOS Megaman
Great video. Your humour is unique and hilarious. Keep it up man
How about Ghost Trick? One of the best stories in games that I know of.
i imagine he put it as an honorable mention because he switched to a scene from it when he mentioned unappreciated games
Zeromega159
Could be.
I'd actually mention Spec Ops The Line as well, but thanks to a certain British critic living in Australia, that game has gotten some recognition it needed.
Zero manga it isent horable becouse of that its couse time reaper is STRONG
I found the character around a coffin close to shademan where you found him I think and he is supposed to be sealed as Bowtike is standing there and he apparently gives you a new chip for some kind of sun gun. Which is kind of useful in boss battles.

Great Josh has a Sword 5:48
Don't get him mad
I hated Axl in Mega Man X 7. Why? Well, let me sum it up with the reactions.
Axl (Mega Man X 7): If you keep misbehaving, you won't get your snack!
Me: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Axl (Mega Man X Command Mission): I'm sure he is. Don't worry. Zero would never go down without a fight!
Me: Much better.

It was a bit annoying at first, but I get to accept that it sounded younger than the other voices, which I thought was alright, given that Axl is practically around my age (13 years), so it would make sense that his voice is a bit annoying, showing that very childish side.
Stephen Graham I never liked his voice at all in X7.
I'm personally heartbroken that the Klonoa series never got the attention it deserves, especially the 2 main games. There's just so much charm, imagination and emotion piled up in such incredibly fun platformers, it just baffles me how no one even acknowledges this series
hyperdimension neptunia
a lot of video game references
funny dialouge
likeable characters
fun gameplay
+Adriel Morales Agreed, even though they're not the polished in some areas. Like bugs and whatnot.
I demand more Quarter Guy playing with plushies.
"Manliest anime ever"
AHEM.
... Berserk.
Lol! I thought you were Armada in the beginning :)
Also, I recently found my F-Zero X and GX games, can't put em down! Such great racing games, GX is my favourite racing game next to Split Second (if you have a 360, DEFINITELY get split second on xbox live arcade. you wont regret it)
TH-cam countdown recaps are pointless
I just thought I'd say:
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE GAMES WAS AWESOME!
Now, before I go on, I will say that I have never played Arcana Heart (aside from in Japan when the arcade version was out and I spent literally 5000 yen on it), but I have ALWAYS wanted to own it myself. I love it to death because it's such a wonderful fighting game. I never thought there would be a fighting game I liked more than BlazBlue and AquaPazza, but Arcana Heart proved that the best fighting game on the face of the planet had flown under my radar for years.

Hey Adam. I love playing unknown games, here are some of my favorites that I think you should try. Elite Beat Agents, Radiant Historia, A Boy and His Blob, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Beyond Good and Evil.
Going off what you said about Sine Mora, another underrated Suda game is Contact for the DS. It's like a really ambient and beautiful Earthbound.
I actually happen to have an underrated gem made by the same developers, too! The game is called Killer is Dead, a hack'n'slash game which I and a few other people happen to like, but others don't.
Funny you mentioned that. I watched, like, one and half episodes recently (I got called in for something and I never really picked it up again...) and I found it fun. I plan to revisit it soon.

Zack & Wiki, Sin & Punishment Star Successor, Lunar Kinghts, Kid Icarus Uprising, Wonderful 101, Okami and many many more overlooked but superb titles!
it's appreciated. sure, some people don't like the newer games, but it still has the heart that it had from previous games.
1.- Considering I'm not into that style of games, i can't really tell.
But holy shit, that looks insane.
I can't tell since many of them, I have not played(and the fact I have a list of my own in the topic) but it's nice you make some games nobody cared of to be a little more known.
Just thought it would be cool, that's all.
"WHY DO YOU BIRDS KEEP ENTERING MY HOUSE?!"
That one after the free to play game is actually being LPed by one of my subs! And he seems to be doing a pretty good job, too!
OH MY GOD YOU'RE MY HERO, YOU SHOWED BIONICLE HEROES ON YOUR INTRO *U* I LOVED THAT GAME

what about panzer dragoon (whole franchise), zone of the enders (same as before), and the original steel battalion?
I like your top picks very much and it got me to think to get them and have fun with it. Also like you, I like Castlevania Judgment very much. I can't believe some people hate this game, makes me angry. Thank you dude, hopefully when I get money, I'm going to get those games, mostly Judgement and Sin and Punishment game for the Wii.♥
good list i'm surprised that the baten kaitos games didn't make on here since you praised monolithsoft in you xenoblade review
I have an underappreciated gem for you: Ben 10: Protector of Earth
Why does Axl's voice remind me or Tree's Apprentice? *BECAUSE I'M WEIRD THATS WHY*
I have to say after looking at this list....you gave me a new view and games to look into for the future and beyond that I could enjoy. Nice going with this list and to the game you said about for the PS3 your right....people should just stop judging a game before buying it. Makes me anger as a gamer to see that...or to hear it ffor that matter. but again. nice list I will try these games out ^^
THANK YOU! YOU ARE A GODSENT!
Its about time someone got the word out about Zack and Wiki! Zack And wiki is my all time favorite puzzle game
It looks like the MegaMan X game featured in this was simmilar to Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Am I right? Or does it just seem like it 'cause of the battle format where you choose what you do ant you see the turn order?
7:52 Naaaaaaa, let's make a Pachinko machine of it instead.
You and cjszero01 made me want to get the Sin and Punishment Star Successor.
And I would like to play the Arcana Hearts games if I only had Playstation 2 or 3. I might also get Castlevania Judgement one one day. Only problem is that there are so many games to buy and so little money. :'(
i cant seem to get Tank Tank Tank in the eshop. it only shows vids of it...
isn't boktai the thing that has django, that appear in megaman battle network?
what is the Super Nintendo Game with the Airplane at 12 Seconds ?
Hey Adam, thanks for the Lunar Knights recommendation! I'm having a blast playing it!
some1 help me! I have lunar knits n yeah its awesome, 4 the 1st hour. idk y but as soon as I kill the fire center the game just seems 2 stop. The spaceship mecha lands n it goes 2 the world screen. idk what I'm doing wrong!
Oh yes! I love the 4 heroes of light!! Glad to see someone else who appreciates it :D
man i love your videos and i agree with everything you say. keep up the good work.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.... just this game. Though I understood why most people dropped this game particularly the repetitive gameplay but still... most of these "critics" haven't even gotten far from the game to actually judge it! (I'm looking at you IGN). The gameplay, though could get repetitive, was great! I actually felt more RPG here than in the main series. Plus it's freaking challenging! It literarily took me a month to defeat Primal Dialga! The characters.... all lovable and memorable at the same time, everyone was just bursting with personality! And the story.... was just so beautiful that it's almost a miracle! AND IT'S A FREAKING POKÉMON GAME! A series notorious for repetitive storylines has actually created something worth admiring. It took all things I loved at PMD: Rescue team series and made it better! And it only got 6/10 on most reviews?! It just baffles me! The sheer creativity, beautiful story, awesome gameplay and memorable characters has made it to be my most favorite pokemon game of all time.
please tell me you are joking that it got a 6/10
Don't forget Gates to Infinity. It had *the same fate*!
Zach Shald man sometimes I hate IGN
***** ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo man that was cheesy but funny and true
+The Quarter Guy Have you tried the game Draglade for the DS? I don't think a lot of people know about it but trust me, you'll get addicted to it.
Boktai series actually got 2 crossovers with MMBN [4&6 (delted in USA alongside an entire area)] and playing MMBN5 Double Team with Boktai cartrige in allows you to get Sollar Crose and there are numerous BattleChips with him.
5:42: Nice unexpected cameo from Joshscorcher!
This was a great list :) The only game that made me sad not to see on here was Fragile Dreams: Farwell Ruins to the Moon. Although it doesn't have a strong replay value, the game itself is an experience and gem with it's characters, visuals, and story. And yes, the voice acting in the game is actually really good. The controls could've used a little more work, but all in all, it's a really nice game. I recommend any gamer to check it out at least once. ^^
I played TANK TANK TANK at an Incredible Pizza one time against my friend and it was awesome. It had one of those chairs where it moved every time you shot and it was great.
I really enjoyed this list, QG! I really shoulda seen #1 coming, though. >_>
By the way, Bomberman's partner in the Second Attack looks an awful lot like Kirby.
There is this one GBA game which I've played called Drill Dozer. It has quite the good plotline, and the cool gimmick of the R & L buttons. The only downside is getting to the extra stages, which are generically hidden within the game's upgrade shop.
So... what's your opinion on Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective?
Hey, I got a game to recommend. It's called Aero the Acro-Bat. You can get it on the Wii's Virtual Console while it (or the second game) is still up there.
11:08 - 11:10 Isn't that the same woman who voiced Rouge and Omochao in SA2?
have you tried The World Ends With You? I think it is underappreciated as well
12:45 i dont remember from what game it is ( help)....
Based on your love of 2D shooters, Sin and Punishment, etc. I reccomend Hyper Zone for the SNES. It's a Star Fox esque Mode 7 shooter, with very simple controls and two big gimmicks: 1. The game keeps track of your speed, you have to stay above a certain speed or take damage, and it'll get really hard to dodge at top speed in the later levels. 2. The game has a shifting "track" and if you go outside of its boundries you slowly take damage, giving you little room to work with.
Anyone know what the name of the intro song is called. Sounds super badass
Hey Quarter Guy, I have a question: Have you played Bionicle Heroes and if you did, what did you think of it?
Hey QG! I know a good game that's a turn-based RPG with a few twists! It's called Nostalgia and it was made for the DS!
It involves airships, magic, monsters, mysteries, and a crazy adventure that involves looking for the character's father rather than a princess for a change, though you do wind up rescuing a priestess he's been protecting along the way.
(Oh and an added educational bonus in the World Treasure hunt where you learn of the treasures of the world, man-made or natural, and a bit of info on them. Like the Great Zimbabwe, Great Heart Reef, and Machu Picchu!)
I don't see too many people talking about this gem so I highly recommend it if you want an RPG that is a little different and fun!
Rule of the tumb: If is a anime BASED fighting game, you can count that is pretty much a button masher.
And why i did capitalized the word "Based"? Because people seens to misunderstand the words Based and Looking. Blazblue is anime looking fighting games, and it's pretty much one of the most complete fighting games i ever played, and bonus points for having little to no clone characters.
Well, Adam, you finally convinced me. Chalk up another subscriber.
I liked the little skit in the begining, (I actually would think a battle between Jubei and Meta Knight would be awsome.
Ah, I loved Bomberman the second attack and MMX Command Mission. Great games. Cool list. But when you mentioned Power Stone, I think that would be a very worthy game for a list like this.
Soul Sacrifice is seriously underrated. The lore behind each monster is amazing, the sacrifice/save system adds loads of variety and the bosses are near Monster Hunter level.
It's okay. I'd totally like to see a battle between Meta Knight and Jubei! =)
Idk for sure if it is a Boktai Reference or Easter Egg, but in MegaMan Battle Network 4 Blue Moon AND Red Sun, when traveling through the Undernet, you get to find Django The Solar Boy and Master Otenko. They look like the characters in Boktai and they are there to keep ShadeMan from rising from his casket.
My favorite under-appreciated game (or at least game that not many people know about) is Baten Kaitos. It has a great storyline, where a young man named Kalas is attempting to get revenge for his grandfather, which got murdered, a unique way to play, where you use cards to get your weapons and armor (which you don't keep on) and FUN AS HELL FIGHTS (and it's in 2 discs (TWO(TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)))
Dude what do you think about Megaman starforce and Skullgirls?
dose anyone know how to get command mission besides for the old systems?
how about mr.gimmick? It has so many ingenious design choices with perfect visuals and sound for an NES game.Also, check out the kunio kun sport series, really fun multiplayer stuff in that.
I happened to know Boktai from the Megaman Battle Network series because it's always referenced there, like, a lot. Django was even a chip, and in MMBN4 there was even a statue-like figure in the ghost house (part of the main game. You can't miss it)... On complete random I did play Lunar Knights, and I didn't regret it.
I forgot about skull girls, also to quarter guy, you and cjszero01 should do a co op on sin and punishment star succesor
