With the recent re-release of Ogre Battle 64 -- one of Mike Gingras's favorite games -- on the Wii's Virtual Console, he got to thinking about good games that aren't well represented in mainstream gaming. The "hidden gems," if you will. Here are his favorites.
The Nerd Stash: "Looking to make some quick cash? Have some old Wii games lying around? Well, why not take a gander at our list of rarest Nintendo Wii games?"
Atlus' Growlanser series was well received, however little seems to have come from it since 2006's Growlanser: Heritage of War.
Nintenderos: "We kick off our interviews this year with a very special one with George Kamitani, president of Vanillaware. In case you didn't know this study, it is the one behind games of the stature of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Odin Sphere or Dragon's Crown. In addition to, of course, unforgettable titles like the wonderful 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim published by Atlus a few months ago."
