The company have also been responsible for many well known and lovable characters that have starred in many great games such as Mario, Zelda and Metroid to name a few. However there are many other quality games that never sold very well and were mostly ignored.

Below we take a look at some awesome titles that got excellent reviews, were loved by those that played them, but you may have missed and are worth going back to.

1. GTA: Chinatown Wars (DS) – Ok, so this did sell quite well, but nothing compared to the home console variations. Just because it is on an underpowered handheld doesn’t mean it lacks quality. Far from it, this is GTA at its best, so hunt it down and enjoy!

2. Beyond Good & Evil (Gamecube) – This game had high production values, a great story and characters, was set in a fantastic world and looked great. If you missed it, it’s well worth a shot.

3. Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (Gamecube) – This is Nintendo at their platforming best. An awesome 2D game with lovely visuals and bongo controls that worked well.

4. Zack & Wiki: Quest For Barbaros Treasure (Wii) – A great puzzle game which was also quite taxing on the mind. Capcom created a great franchise but we will not likely see it again as this was largely ignored.

5. Blast Corps (N64) – A really unique game from Rare and one of it’s most under-appreciated.

6. Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (Gamecube) – This game spooked players with it’s sanity feature and was totally original and great fun to play.

7. Chrono Trigger (SNES/DS) – Played by many, except younger gamers may have missed this one. No fear it’s been re-released on DS. Go get!

8. Sin & Punishment (N64/Wii) – A Treasure developed title with typically great game-play and visuals. Now available on VC on Wii.

9. Okami (Wii/PS2) – An awesome game comparible to Zelda. This must be played if you like video games as it’s simply breathtaking.

10. Chibi-Robo! (Gamecube/Wii) – Hardly anyone bought this quality title which is a great shame as it is one of Gamecube’s finest and most original titles.

That ends our ten Nintendo gaming greats.
