## Key points

- Initial commercial failure does not rule out lasting quality.
- MadWorld sold around 125,000 copies on Wii.
- Re-releases and word of mouth helped some games find fans.

## Summary

Several video games that initially struggled commercially have since earned devoted audiences, showing that poor sales do not necessarily reflect a game’s quality. The article highlights six flops whose distinctive ideas, later re-releases or lasting influence helped them find appreciation over time.

Examples include MadWorld, a violent Wii action game that sold around 125,000 copies, and Beyond Good & Evil, which became a cult favourite after a weak launch and later re-releases. Conker’s Bad Fur Day also arrived near the end of the N64’s life, limiting its chance to find an audience; the article argues that each game is worth playing despite its commercial disappointment.
