I kinda sound like a broken record here, but:
Bruiser and Scratch. Great little puzzle game

Also, Texas Hold em Tournament was great too, but I wouldn't call it underrated. It was in the top 5 for several months, and while I haven't played it lately, I was always able to find people online to play against.

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

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.

Thanks, I'll put that back on my get-list.

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

Nice another Flowerworks fan. I was beginning to think I was the only one playing this game lol.

5 spot party- fun addictive multiplayer game good for all ages and non gamers alike. Deserved at least a 7.
Neves Plus- better than that 7 review. Tons of puzzles. Great multiplayer. Deserved a 9
The Magic Obelisk- excellent, unique puzzler/platformer Deserved an 8.

Brain Challenge is another little, overlooked gem if you enjoy the brain training genre.

Lit didn't garner much attention...same for Plattchen. I've enjoyed both.

got to say that nyxquest and swords and soldiers are two of the best games i've ever played. i also think tetris party is great... they should have included it in the console built in like with the GB.

So ends a saga older than time itself.
The World's oldest and fiercest army has been led to victory, and a lost generation
is delivered from its fear of extinction. As the sun sets over the

Magnetis is a fun game. I don't know if that got much attention, but I haven't heard much about it. I give it an 8/10

Phoenix Wright(both games). I mean come on, a 5/10? Just because the game has outdated graphics and doesn't have a point and click feature? So what? Graphics DO NOT make a game, and controls shouldn't be much of an issue unless they make the game too difficult to play, which isn't the case here.

You shouldn't have done that.

My Life as a Darklord is underrated, mostly due to the DLC which is a tad ridiculious but I only think one of the DLC is needed(although you can do it without anyway) and the game in total costs 1400 points that way, which is fair. It's only if you get all the purely optional stuff that it costs a lot.

  • LONPOS
    This is a simple and good puzzler. It has online/offline rankings and online/offline multiplayer modes.
    The Wii controls could be smoother but the classic sideways controls are good.
    Developer is Genki from Japan who made N64 games Fighter's Destiny, Multi-Racing Championship and King of Pro Baseball among many others.
  • JUNGLE SPEED
    It's just a 1-8 player card game, but with great presentation (neat tutorial, nice audiovisuals, good tech).
    8 people can use 4 Wiimotes and/or Nunchucks for playing, so if you have only 1 Wiimote and 1 Nunchuck you can already play 2 player mode.
    Highscores/achievements are saved with your Mii. There are 5 environments, 8 characters to use and CPU difficulties.
    You get the basic game and the additional pack. Both included in the basic price of 1000pts (no additional Pay&Play DLC)

The strong bad games are really underrated. You hardly ever hear of them and imo they are some of the best games on wiiware. They are hilarious and have great point and click gameplay. I would give episodes 1-4 8/10 and episode 5 9/10. As well as this I think lit is one of the best and most underrated games on wiiware . It's a great horror themed puzzle adventure and I would give it a 9/10.

The Strong Bad games are in no way underrated. The sales dropped out thanks to the lack of harddrive space and lessening interest over the five months. I think that the Monkey Island games were more underrated on WiiWare than SB.

I have a feeling Rage of the Gladiator will become underrated as Cave Story comes out, I'm afraid.

FonistofCruxis

Really? Although tales of monkey island is underrated, I've heard it being praised more than sbcg4ap.
