The idea was to strike a balance between well-known games, known games, less known games, and a few very obscure games thrown in. I'd say it worked just fine.
Not sure why you're complaining over JFG/F-Zero GX, either. They're fairly well-known, even a lot of the people voting E here said they're doing so because it's been a while since they played them instead of 'wtf is this game'. Do you just not like them? Oh well?
