I'll just stick to Wii games in order to keep my list from becoming huge.
Games not liked much
I enjoyed Wii Play, it was worth the price. (Bought it without the Wii Remote.)
I loved Samba de Amigo! I never understood all of the complaints either. Aslong as you paid attention to the angle you point the controller, it worked.
Ignored Games
Cue Sports: Pool Revolution seemed to have gone ignored. I never see anyone talking about it. Pretty sweet pool game with a few modes and many options. The only part that was lacking was the online mode; it was completely anonymous.
Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars was ignored by most as well. Mushroom Men is currently my favorite platformer on Wii.
Snowboard Riot Had a fairly-sized community for a bit, but now your lucky if you find a match.
We Love Golf! Same as Snowboard Riot. Also, many people complained about the controls. I thought they were a perfect mix of motion-controls and Mario Golf style controls. I wouldn't recommend it now due to the fact that you have little to no chance of finding an online match.
Other
Virtua Tennis 2009 I don't know where to place this one. The game seems to be pretty abandoned, as I usually have issues finding an opponent. I don't really think it is hated, though.
I have good taste so I don't love any games that everyone else hates.

Definitely Wii Music, though I stand by my closed-minded assessment that 90% of those who "hate" it never played it, and are drawing their knowledge from some hilarious review instead.
Anyone can simulate its gameplay by playing this whilst shaking their wiimote vigourously and decide for themselves.

AAAAAnd thus the point was proven.
Okay, okay. It was a bit unfair not to add that you should play it on a really old computer so the music lags every once in a while and gives you a new rhythm.
Yes, I completely forgot about Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. This game was definitely by many, but I really enjoyed it. I played it with my nephew a lot, and got obsessed with collecting every medal, trophy and emblem in the game.
Its a good thing it was successful. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games!
Sonic and the Secret Rings. Very fast and great graphics, but the controls are rough around the edges. The Conduit. Apart from the odd bad texture here and there, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I think these are both horrifically underrated games.
Currently playing: Red Steel 2 The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes Pokemon HeartGold
Sonic Unleashed restored my faith in the 'hog, even if it seems to have scared everyone else off. Daytime stages are great, night stages at least work, which is more than can be said about some of the other games' mechanics. Heatseeker is an occasional patron to my Wii, too.
And whilst merely being an unfortunate Christmas gift from someone who knows nothing of games, Hasbro Family Game Night I found to be suprisingly well-presented and featured, for what appears to be little more than board-game shovelware. Even if I've only played it... twice.

Yeah, Sonic Unleashed definitely had some things going for it. My issues with it are that in the Wii version there are more night time stages than day time stages, and if you play with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck the attacks are waggle based, which can get tiring.
But the day time stages were amazing to say the least.
I forgot Secret Rings wasn't a well-loved game. I certainly liked it, although I spent a bit too much time trying to get Gold Medals, and never really got too far.
Sorry if I'm off-topic, but how good is Godzilla Unleashed?
See now you're on-topic again! I thought it was pretty decent. Give yourself time to adjust to the controls and you'll have some fun; if you're going to play with friends you'll need to give them a chance to play solo to get the hang of things before pummelling them mercilessly. There's a lot of stuff to unlock so check out the net if you get stuck for that. I've played through enough time to unlock all the characters for purchase, but I've not played enough to actually purchase them all or all the extras!
