    I think eternal darkness should be in this. Also people these days overlook starfox adventures.

    opiumx, maybe because sfa is an extremely mediocre experience with beautiful graphics and nice music? plus sfa was a big hit, almost 2 millions of copies were sold around the world.

    Really agree on Shantae,Metal Arms: Glitch in the System and Beyond Good & Evil(I own all three).

    Another overlooked Wii game ,that I also own, that should be on this list is Opoona.

    Its a very cool and unique but underrated RPG game developed by ArtePiazza and published by Koei for Wii.
    It is without a doubt one of the more interesting RPG’s out there,it has a charming art style and great music.

    I own 3/10:

    Rocket Robot on Wheels (Amazing platformer, I suggest everyone play this legally or no)
    Ogre Battle 64
    Zack & Wiki

    Really should find a copy of Beyond Good and Evil one day.
