Please discuss the nominees and feel free to make the case for your pick! All of these are available for $30 or less at multiple national retailers in the U.S., and hopefully elsewhere too.

My vote goes to Pandora's Tower. I have wanted to play this game for quite some time and retroactive is the perfect excuse to purchase and play!

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #2 on:** July 21, 2013, 02:36:16 PM »

I really just want an excuse to play Wii Sports Resort again...

broodwars · « **Reply #3 on:** July 21, 2013, 04:00:34 PM »

I'll go with the Crystal Bearers this time. I recently picked that game up, and this would be a good excuse to play it while I'm between major console games.

broodwars · « **Reply #4 on:** July 21, 2013, 04:02:08 PM »

Truth be told, (aside from Wii Sports Resort) there isn't a bad game on this list. I wouldn't mind seeing likely winner Pandora's Tower take the prize this time, and Forgotten Sands (Wii) is better than the HD game.

i voted wii sports resort, its sadly the only game on this list i have experience with.

Rodrigue · « **Reply #6 on:** July 21, 2013, 04:32:24 PM »

I went with Prince of Persia, I don't feel like Wii Sports Resort would have that much content to discuss and The Last Story, Pandora's Tower and Xenoblade Chronicles have already been discussed on the show so I'm not really looking forward to another series of complaints about JRPGs.

Rodrigue · « **Reply #7 on:** July 21, 2013, 04:35:34 PM »

Oh, and the Wii version includes the original Prince of Persia, which is the best Prince of Persia.

pokepal148 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 21, 2013, 04:42:21 PM »

wii sports resort would be interesting moreso for its discussion of the motion plus then anything.

Shaymin · « **Reply #9 on:** July 21, 2013, 05:00:17 PM »

Putting a Final Fantasy game and an RPG in the same poll to let Prince of Persia come up and win it? Brilliant.

Thaaaat kinda defeats the purpose of an "overlooked Wii games" poll. ;-)

I disagree with Resort being on there in the first place, to be honest.

Pixelated Pixies · « **Reply #11 on:** July 21, 2013, 06:17:37 PM »

Having already played Forgotten Sands (based on Gui's positive comments) and Wii Sports Resort, my vote goes to Crystal Bearers as I've always been curious about that game.

pokepal148 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 21, 2013, 07:06:54 PM »

i'm not exactly in the market for new wii games right now.

TheXenocide · « **Reply #13 on:** July 21, 2013, 08:28:49 PM »

Com on, FFCC! I've always wanted to give this game a go and this would be a great way to do so!

Stardust · « **Reply #14 on:** July 21, 2013, 10:21:05 PM »

My vote has to go to Pandora's tower. A.) A game I've been meaning to get for some time B.) OP Rainfall did a tremendous amount of work to get this game to go overseas and I'd love to hear the crew discuss it. C.) Any niche Japanese title that James Jones plays is just worth listening to.

Stardust · « **Reply #15 on:** July 21, 2013, 10:22:39 PM »

At the least though, all these games are easily playable and fun to talk about so honestly it's a win-win

Enner · « **Reply #16 on:** July 21, 2013, 10:39:27 PM »

I voted for Pandora's Tower because I need more pressure on me to get back to it. I'm sad that I let it fall by the wayside as I was enjoying it.

Disco Stu · « **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2013, 11:30:27 PM »

I'm guessing Pandora's Tower will win through it's association with Rainfall, but I voted for Prince of Persia because, well, Sands of Time is the only game in the series I've played at this point and I'm curious! Also, action/platforming games are just my wheelhouse.

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 22, 2013, 02:05:12 AM »

None of these are RPGs. The list was rough consensus with inputs from the whole crew. This took much longer than the usual method of me just picking out a few things and asking them for approval. ;-)

lolmonade · « **Reply #19 on:** July 22, 2013, 09:05:19 AM »

I picked Wii Sports Resort for a few reasons:

I don't ever recall RFN talking about any game like it for retroactive before.
I think there's also easy fodder for discussion revolving around a) How much better/worse the minigames here are compared to Wii Sports and b) The business implications there were from developers not embracing Wii Motion Plus.
I imagine there'd be a quick turnaround for this game from being chosen to actually hearing the discussion about it.

Where does it say its overlooked Wii games poll?

I went with Wii Sports Resprt

iPlayer64 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 22, 2013, 11:11:06 PM »

I really want Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers simply because I think it's an underrated JRPG for the Nintendo Wii, and also the Crystal Chronicle series is perhaps the one Final Fantasy series exclusive to Nintendo platforms that Square Enix really went and experiment with different gameplay elements.

I really want everyone to give this game a try.

shingi_70 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2013, 08:53:26 PM »

Nothing I can join in through a 3DS. *Grumble Grumble*

Voted for crystal bearers anyway.

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #23 on:** July 24, 2013, 04:21:24 PM »

Tough choices! All really good choices for conversation.
Going with Prince of Persia. It is really good and I need to finish it.

Eyothrie · « **Reply #24 on:** July 24, 2013, 07:11:08 PM »

I went with Pandora's Tower. I own it, and this would be an excuse to end my laziness and actually play it
