Are there any titles that you think are underbough or their reviews are lower than they should be. I think LIT should have sold a lot more and I'd give Equilibrio a 9/10, ont a 7.

Review wise, I'd say Onslaught, but you can't feel to bad for it since its been on the top 20 since it came out. Sales wise, Helix, definately.

I thought Onslaught got a good review here?

Here yes, everywhere else, not so much. And I completly forgot about Helix, and you know Major Leage Eating while no gem, certainly was fun, original and there was more to it than as IGN put it "Waving your arms around like a jackass."

Bruiser And Scratch. It's not great, but it's not as bad as people think.

Plättchen: Twist 'n' Paint for me. They wern't lying when they said over 100 hours of fun, I think I played for about 120 hours total and I haven't even reached 50% yet. All I have to describe the audience for this is either hardcore fans or the incredibly masochistic.

When did games become so pretentious? Probably when Miyamoto got locked up for concepts.

I know this is a pretty old topic, but still relevant. A few I want to mention.

Flowerworks is the biggest one that comes to mind. This could quite possibly be one of the most underrated titles on Wiiware and is really treated as a forgotten memory. No one ever talks about this game and it is so original and has some tough puzzles in the game. I can't believe not many people have played this game.

Driift Mania. While it did get some hype in the beginning it quickly faded once Excitebike World Rally was released. Driift is very fun, plays like the old school super sprint/offroad games, but in my opinion even better. Like 6 or is it 8 man multiplayer? Some really fun multiplayer games as well. I love this game to death.

Any of the Art style games. While they are talked about, they still don't get the love they deserve. These games are gorgeous and quite challenging. My favorite is Orbient.

Mr. Driller W, for sure. I've wasted tons of hours on that. Pokemon Rumble is great, too. It was labeled as repetitive by most, but I find it to be like many classic arcade beat 'em ups.

Stunt Cars. That game is a decent racing game. Most differently not a 3/10.

Definitely Home Sweet Home. Evasive Space was also great, despite the control scheme being a tad bit shaky.

NL generall don't underrate wiiware imho, only slightly - those are covered in my original post above

Texas Hold'em Tournament gets an 8/10 from me (because I played it for more than 50 hours already) and that's pretty great for 500pts.
And of course the Phoenix Wright series 8/10 too because it's story is cool and dialogue is fun.
Hmm.. All the other good games I have, aren't really underrated.

What's good about Home Sweet Home? Was eyeing this when it was released. How many hours of fun?

Flowerworks
Swords & Soldiers
The Magic Obelisk
Tomena Sanner
Nyxquest
Maboshi's Arcade
Space Invaders: Get Even

These aren't exactly underrated, but none of them get enough attention. These are all great games that deserve to succeed on any platform.

I don't really buy any wiiware games that get lower than an 8 here, and even the 9's or 10's I usually pass on unless they sound really interesting to me.

A Fool and his Wii Points are easily parted.

It's all about the two Pheonix Wright games! Putting the boot in because the conversion isn't top-drawer is harsh!

Tomena Sanner, Bonsai Barber and MaBoShi could have each been bumped up a mark as well...

It probably gives you about 6-8 hours, depending on how fast you are able to work through the levels. I don't know, maybe it's just me liking games in the simulation genre, but I was COMPLETELY addicted to the game's 50 levels. Definitely my favorite WiiWare title to date.

By the way, I completely agree with the poster that said that Space Invaders is underrated. Incredible game; the only drawback was that I personally thought that the price tag was a little steep to buy all the add-ons. As we all know, if you don't buy the add-ons, there's really not much of a game to play.
