It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.

Kubo was a BAFTA winner and Okami was IGNs game of the year winner. The rest I agree with, but those two seem really popular for an "unheard of" list.

Triplets of Bellville was nominated for two Oscars. It lost Best Animated Feature to Finding Nemo.

What you are missing is that Okami bombed and capcom made no money with it, it's THE example of a great game that consumers ignored. It's more popular now than back then.

Maybe it's a regional thing then...? I'm in Germany and noone I know of has heard about either one. I wouldn't be surprised tho if those two got the attention they deserve in other parts of the world.

yeah, Okami is surprisingly popular among my peers in Brazil, from highschool to university and employed.
