** [[MGS 2]] is a rather odd example, in that the game was universally praised upon release, garnering 9's and 10's across most major gaming publications. [[Hype Backlash]] started setting in around the time [[MGS 2]]: Subsistence was released a year later, with Gamespy even ranking the game #2 on their [http://archive.gamespy.com/articles/september03/25overrated/ 25 Most Overrated Games Of All Time] list. Over time, however, the game regained most of its popularity (thanks in no small part to [[MGS 4]]'s serviceable explanation of the game's weird ending) although it's still considered the weakest entry in the main MGS series by most.
* [[Kid Icarus]]. Back in it's day, it got a lukewarm reception and was considered a poor man's Metroid. Nowadays, [[Kid Icarus]] is regarded as a [[Cult Classic]] due to it's [[Nintendo Hard|surprising difficulty]] and vibrant cast. The inclusion of Pit in [[Super Smash Brothers Brawl]] sparked a new interest in the Franchise which lead to [[Kid Icarus: Uprising]] being made. 21 years after the last game ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'' ([[No Export for You|Which wasn't released in Japan]]).
* ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution]]'', while a well-received game that rejuvenated the ''[[Deus Ex]]'' franchise, was overlooked by many when it came out, as 2011 was chock full of great titles. But when Game of the Year discussions came up later on, ''Human Revolution'' was on the short list in just about everyone's book, prompting some to give it a closer look. The game went on to win five awards at the 2012 Canadian Videogame Awards, including the high profile Console Game of the Year award. It also made it possible for Eidos Montreal to push through with a sequel, ''[[Deus Ex: Mankind Divided]].''
* ''[[Command and Conquer Generals]]''. While receiving good reviews upon release, initial fan reception [[Broken Base|was mixed]], due in part to its then-[[Ripped from the Headlines]] premise, the somewhat on-the-nose [[War On Terror]] nods and not being based on the Tiberium or Red Alert universes. Over the years however, it's not only proven to be a pretty good game in its own right but remains supported by fans, with various [[Game Mod]]s and even [[Fan Sequel]]s made for it.
