The nominations have been made, and now it's time for you to decide the most underrated game in the 15 year history of Nintendo World Report! Votes will be open for 3 days, so cast your vote and make your voice heard in the comments.

In the Mansion region, it's #2 seed World of Goo v #7 seed Excitebots: Trick Racing.

World of Goo: Every indie game on the 3DS and WiiU today owes a debt of gratitude to World of Goo for paving the way. Once referred to as “the reason WiiWare should exist”, World of Goo's addictive puzzle gameplay is blessed with an art style that still manages to be unique several years and 20,000 indie puzzle games later.

Excitebots: Trick Racing: Excitebots didn't get much pre-release hype – in fact, we only found out it existed six weeks before its North American release. When it did come out, it brought with it insane racing that almost proved as crazy as Mario Kart Wii, and robots on motorcycles playing (children's) card games. Yes, this actually happened.

Tough, but Excitebots is probably my favorite racing game of all time.

World of Goo needs to win this. Possibly one of the best games of the Wii.

I still need to buy Excitebots before it disappears for good.

Didn't really like World of Goo, but ExciteBots is good stuff.

World of Goo is SO overrated.  I seriously don't get why it won so many end of year awards.

One of my FAVORITE racers EVER. Find it, buy it, cherish it! Even when the servers go away, the game has a lot to do offline. Great controls, fun to do tricks, great amount of unlockables, etc.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE EXCITEBOTS! :D

The problem with puzzlers is once you've solved them, there's very little replay value. Plus, I was able to buy a copy of Exitebots that was cheaper than the cost of World of Goo. That gets my vote!
