Underrated gems?

* Legend of Heroes - A Tear of Vermillion
* Goemon - Mystical Ninja 64
* Nostalgia = DS rpg similar to old school FF/DQ games.
*.......Too many others to list, My list could easily be 300+ games. I've been gaming since atari 2600 in the late 80's, so I've played a ton of hidden gems.

ohhh just remember possibly the most hidden gem.....

Mappy Land for NES.......not mappy world.....Mappy Land = awesome game.

crazyaejay1888d ago

Ghost Squad – The joy of reptition

"You might think it is a very specific kind of madness that I bought a Wii U in the winter of 2017, but it was with good reason. While many people are off gallivanting with their Nintendo Switches and making all kinds of hot passionate love with its many critically acclaimed releases, I was delving into Nintendo’s motion-controlled past. One of the many games worth mentioning is Ghost Squad for the Wii."

10 Sega Franchises That Belong on the Xbox One

SEGA have brought so many wonderful franchises into the gaming world, one can almost begin to forget the sheer number of them. Despite this, a great many of them are yet to make an appearance on the Xbox One, a place where they would surely be welcomed with open arms.

This list covers some of the most pressing ones, and paints a picture of just how much Microsoft fans are missing out on.

They all deserve another chance on ps4, switch and Xbox one. Sega is actually seeing some profit on the games they have published so they may venture into developing and releasing older IP's. I am looking forward to Sakura Wars and I hope it releases on ps4 and Switch.

DigitalRaptor2188d ago

Weird article. "Belong" is a strange word to use, and not enough legitimate reasons are given as to why Xbox One in particular and not others.

For those that care not to dredge through 10 pages:

1) Yakuza
2) Daytona USA
3) Initial D
4) Phantasy Star Online
5) House of the Dead
6) Super Monkey Ball
7) Virtua Tennis
8) Persona
9) Panzer Dragoon
10) Nights

firelogic2188d ago

Yes it's good to have games on more than one platform so more people can play them but honestly, looking at that list...none of them would do well on the XB1. They'd certainly do better than zero but anyone with any inkling of playing those games wouldn't only own an xbox and thus would probably have already played them on other platforms.

For example, someone who has an interest in Japanese games wouldn't just own an xbox. They would have had to have owned at least one of PS2, PS3, PSP, or Vita at some point.

And of course there will be replies saying they've only owned an xbox and would love to play those games. Well there's not enough of you out there to make it worthwhile it would seem because Sega is in the business of making money. I'm sure they wouldn't deliberately sacrifice making more money just to spite Microsoft and their users.

Just going by VGChartz Yakuza 6 - .32M Yakuza Kiwami - .38M Gravity Rush 2 - .32M etc. so you mean to tell me Xbox wouldn't get anywhere near these numbers if these titles came out for the system? You guys are funny if thats what you call selling than wow

"For those that care not to dredge through 10 pages:"

Thanks. So tired of the "click" era of internet.

WilliamSheridan2188d ago

Virtua Tennis and House of the Dead and I'd be very happy. I want new light gun games that work with this generation. Tv's should be bright enough now...

ILostMyMind2188d ago

I don't know what Super Monkey Ball and Initial D are, but all others games don't start on XB. What this shit site is talking about?

Yakuza would just flop on Xbox One with its heavily Japanese focused eccentricities

Persona even moreso

Razmiran2188d ago (Edited 2188d ago )

None of those would sell well on Xbox
Some of them already had some presence on previous Xbox consoles and they didnt sell

masterfox2188d ago

"10 Sega Franchises That never should be in the Xbox One cause they don't deserve it"

^^^ Article Title fixed ;)

hulk_bash19872188d ago

Im pretry sure Phantasy Star and Panzar Dragoon were already on an Xbox Platform.

ghostrider322188d ago

First it's they need games, now it's they don't deserve them. You console gamers are a weird ass bunch.
