The legacy of Wii Sports sure is an odd one. It was one of the highest selling games of all time and one of those “Wowsa!” moments where once you played it, you knew the video game world would never be the same. It was the title that sold a bazillion Wiis and got everyone from hardcore gamers to single Moms and Grannies excited about playing video games in the new millennium. The trouble was that it was essentially just a tech demo and a gimmick that grew tired fast. Nintendo could barely pull a single successful sequel out of it’s hat and the real legacy that followed the Wii Sports juggernaut was of all things the Mario & Sonic Olympics series.
Phil writes, "SuperPhillip Central's Favorite VGMs is usually an every-Monday occurrence where I share five of my favorite songs from various video games, whether they be retro or modern. I often feature songs from games that don't get as much attention from gamers as they should, but I don't make it a habit to make note of that.
Well, with Underrated Games With Even More Underrated Soundtracks, I definitely do. This third part features games that many slept on that have glorious music to them. As usual, I shall share six games and provide five sample songs for each soundtrack. Perhaps hearing some of the music from these games will encourage you to try them out!"
I am glad to see Transformers Devastation on the list. The music was so orgasmic when I played making every battle feel like a final showdown.
