Super Mario Sunshine of course. My personal favourite of the franchise.

Other games would be Super Paper Mario, Wario World, Luigi's Mansion, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Red Faction and Zack & Wiki.

And also, Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikin Bottom. That a Spongebob game can be good is shocking, but true. It's a great platformer with plenty fun mechanics. In fact, several titles for the franchise were quite decent. They certainly weren't very good looking games but I loved them all as a kid, and when I came back to them I was surprised to see they weren't worse then I remembered. Sadly the sequel on the Wii was a low budget piece of ass.

Underrated? I often see it listed among the few good movie games. NGamer gave it a 9/10 and I believe they even named it one of the best games of that year.

Why don't they do Kickstarter for Psychonauts 2? They said money is problem

Probably because they don't want to rely on Kickstarter all the time. If the two games that have been funded on Kickstarter sell well, they'll likely do Psychonauts 2, so I will always remember to support Double Fine.

I still wonder why Psychonauts sold bad.

Sonic Unleashed (Next-Gen)

Lot of reasons, but I think critically, people ignore a lot of things about this game.

Sonic Unleashed was way better on 360 and PS3 than on Wii and PS2.

2005 was not a good age for games that were considered "artsy", even though Psychonauts had much more than just good art. Originally it was supposed to be published by Microsoft as an Xbox exclusive, but from what I understand, they weren't happy what direction Double Fine decided to go with. Majesco offered to publish the game, which resulted in the sacrifice of good advertising (One of the ads was about sneezing brains out, which made people think this was just a some kind of dumb grossout game). But it's better than nothing.

While we're on the subject of kickstarters, Mighty No 9 has surpassed $2,800,000, just less than three days to go, I wonder if it can hit $3m.

I really wanted to back it but unfortunately people borrowed a lot of money from me that I will only begin to get back next week. :\

Sly: Thieves in Time, Ducktales Remastered, and Epic Mickey (Not Epic Mickey 2). Most of them got mediocre-to-bad reviews from critics, but fans of them including me love them.

A game that I have many hopes for is doing good. I am so happy.

I voted for A on the current poll. Don't really give a bigger damn about the game, but I wish the best luck for Comcept on their project.

Sly just managed to scrape the green zone in metacritic, it feels like the developers played it too safe and never really advanced the mechanics or gameplay to next gen like say Mario or Ratchet games did. It was a worthy entry to the series though, just felt like I was playing a very pretty looking Ps2 game :P

The future trilogy was great and is what I was really talking about. I can understand if you thought the spinoffs, All 4 One and FFA were awful though.

Ahh I see, hopefully Into The Nexus will bring the duo back to their former glory!

And Jak still hasn't had a new game in years. (The Last Of Us was originally suppose to be Jak 4 (They were going to try to go for a more casual/modern/realistic style, but they quickly changed it))
