RB2 is my favorite in the series, but I feel this statement from OC is spot on.
Thank you for your confirmation, my friend. We both know too well, SNK blessed their platform with just too many good games. Trying to honor them properly would take the carefree lifetime of a teenager, plus the knowledge of a seasoned pro, so: no can do.
The other thing is that most people use terms like "underrated", "most under appreciated", "guilty pleasure", "hidden gem" or "best" because they're comfortable simplified expressions, which save a poster further comments. Unfortunately, they often miss the essence. Anyway, I never heard of "unplayed", although it's one of the most common issues good, even great games have to face nowadays, classic or modern ones. The sheer number of excellent software is one reason, but a general joy of discovery is absent, too.
We rather play through a well-known game for the n-th time, than give a new one a chance. Because it's comfortable, because time is money and money stays on the shelf or on the flashcard. The search for new titles we currently experience through various internet channels doesn't necessarily express what's really going on in our own game rooms. From my experience, if you just give a game enough time, it'll pay you back with quality. Few will do that, but maybe it's just part of growing, you know... growing old
