Far too late now as the servers are dead and the game removed from the internet, but I'm still bitter that no one was ever willing to try Reset Generation.

There was never any game quite like it, being some bastard fusion of Tetris and Rampart with the random gaming crossover-ness of Smash Bros. Each player (four simultaneous) had a Castle that they needed to protect while trying to raid the other players. Rounds were divided into three phases; placing random Tetris-style blocks to expand your territory (lining five or more tiles in a row would grant bonuses), launching cannons to destroy other player's tiles or Items, and then moving your character to try either grabbing an Item (like Smash Bros.), moving towards someone's castle, or attacking someone if they left themselves vulnerable. If you get into someone's Castle, you kidnap their Princess and (if you can get her back to your castle), the other player is eliminated and you get a SUPER POWER-UP to crush everyone left; anyone can steal the princess from you by attacking you. Sometimes your better off letting someone else grab a Princess, punching them in the face, then running off with her.

There were a lot of different playable characters with their own powers, all of them parodies of famous characters. Plumber (Mario), Hedgehog (Sonic), Babe Gunner (Lara Croft), Cyborg (Master Chief), and more. Not well balanced--Cyborg was broken as all hell--but COME ON. Mario/Sonic/Lara/MC deathmatch! In a completely unique gaming experience! It even had a (fairly crappy) single-player story mode!

And it was completely free to play online. And no one would bother even trying it because the game was created for the N*Gage. Never mind that you could play it on the computer, never mind that it was free/unique/funny, never mind that you could battle your friends or random strangers; everyone was too obsessed with hating the system to even look at the damn thing.

And now it's gone forever. Bah.


Chrono Cross: Just to second it. I hated the game for years, but once I stopped trying to compare it to Trigger and judge it on its own merits...wasn't bad. Not great or anything, but it gets a bit too much hate for being a "sequel" to a beloved game and having almost nothing to do with it. Not that it isn't justified, but...eh.

Fortune Street: Yes, it's just a more complicated form of Monopoly. Yes, it takes far too long and the online is implemented horribly (a crossover between Mario and Dragon Quest where you can only play as a Mii. Really? Really?), but too many people hate it for not being Mario Party which isn't really fair.
