The Greatest Games You’ve Never Played
Nintendo has a long history of creating quality games with memorable characters that are loved by gamers worldwide. Although millions of players have spent countless hours in the company of the personalities of Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, and Kirby, there are a few games that just either didn’t get the recognition they deserved or didn’t catch on with the gaming public.
Following we will outline a few of these titles. While many of these games were critically acclaimed, they just failed for one reason or another to attract the attention they merited. If you’re looking for a way to pass some time, track down a few of these games on eBay or your favorite used game store… you won’t regret it!
- Chibi-Robo! (for GameCube/DS)
Chibi-Robo! can be classified as the GameCube’s last classic game, as it was released quite late in the life of that console. Although it involved the fairly strange idea of earning Happy Points while controlling a robot that cleans various rooms in a house, the game offered a certain charm, and a relaxing experience. If you missed it on the GameCube never fear; it’s also been released on the DS with several updates to the gameplay. - Okami (PS2/Wii)
Okami is perhaps one of the biggest video game injustices to date. Originally released for the PS2 (where sales were disappointing, to say the least), Okami got a second chance on the Wii, where the game’s paintbrush controls are ideally suited to the wiimote. Frankly, the game is better than ever on the Wii, and in my opinion it is one of the freshest games in recent history. - Chrono Trigger (SNES/Playstation/DS)
Many of you are probably too young to remember this game’s incarnation on the Super NES. Widely thought of as the best 2D RPG ever, Chrono Trigger simply must be played if you enjoy this genre of game. It has an outstanding storyline, a fantastic battle system and an amazing soundtrack. - Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (GameCube)
Eternal Darkness was a riveting psychological horro game from Ubisoft. Although many other games are more frightening and have better effects, no other game manages to recreate the unsettling experience of Eternal Darkness. I found the entire game to be extremely enjoyable, from the sanity meter to the hallucinogenic graphic effects to the game controller pretending to be disconnected. Perhaps if we are lucky, there is a sequel in the works?
