I take partial blame for not suggesting the Wavebird.

The fact that it's a decent game that's excessively overrated is probably the reason.

Psychonauts > BG&E.

Psychonauts was worth the money just for the milkman level.  So incredibly funny. XD

Personally, I'd have to say that BG&E is quite a bit overrated.  Don't get me wrong, I like the game.  However, I think the main key to its charm is that they actually hired competent voice actors whose performances allowed you to connect with the characters.

kind of sad naruto 4 didnt make it
since series was only on gamecube, and 8ing isnt making the new wii version (which makes it totally gc only)
but it did get a mention, still proberly is one of the top selling gc games in japan

I borrowed BG&E from a friend once and I thought it was okay but I didn't really get into it.  I think it's a classic example of an overrated-underrated game.  It's a decent game that doesn't sell very well and is largely ignored but then gets a lot of praise from the few that did play it and that snowballs into undeserved hype.  It seems like the game initially got a raw deal so its fans try to get it some exposure and overcompensate by praising it a little too much.

DeadlyD, I'm pretty sure Eighting will go back to making Naruto soon. Remember, the one that Dream Factory is working on is Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX, highlighting the fact that this definitely isn't the next main game in the series. GNT5 will probably happen eventually, and it'll probably be from Eighting.

Is Beyond Good and Evil Michelle Ansel's greatest game? Yes
Is Beyond Good and Evil Ubisoft's greatest game? Yes

[Svevan]

I agree with ShyGuy.

I hope Eighting is taking time off from Naruto to make a new Kururin game.

For the record, I suggested Ikaruga but all I heard was crickets.  I thought that it deserved to be on the list, since it was the best old-school shooter on the system.  It's a niche title, but it was great for what it was.
