Super Mario 64 was the big daddy for the Nintendo 64 especially during the early days of the system.
Some video games series had a lot of trouble transferring over to the land of 3D. However I think most of them took notes from Super Mario 64. It wasn't just the 2D games with polygons. It was the same concept plus more freedom, a lot of creativity, and a core team of designers who knew how to make a game fun.
A fun game it was too. The paintings allowed you to jump into a world that always changed. You could go from green fields, icy mountaintops, and dry deserts. There was so much variety that you could almost feel it with your own hands. Not only that but tons of a little secrets, bonus missions, and side-quests.
Despite the crappy controls, I really liked Super Mario 64 DS a lot as well. Maybe the 3DS's nub might help this baby out to be the superior version finally.

I know it was "better" on PS2, but I still got it for Wii anyway.
The Wii version has it's fair share of problems, so if you have to choose go for the original edition.
The main fault lies within the magic brush. It's just not very accurate on the Wii due to lackluster porting issues. I wish they had built it from the ground up on Wii instead of getting another company to make a rushed version of it.
Gripes aside, I really enjoyed the hell out of Okami. The art style was sick, the plot engrossing, the characters were lovable, and the quest was as long as it was epic.
Even though it does recycle bosses and areas a little bit, I really enjoyed every bit of Okami. I really need to pick up Okamiden on DS.

It was sold only on like Amazon.com for a short time. I was suckered into it, mainly for the hope that the game's value would skyrocket in later years.
The style and presentation is done very top-notch. It's basically is a musical toy.
Yep several different musical toys. Since I suck ass at music (especially creation), and there's nothing more to enjoy; I was left rather bored with my purchase. Good thing I sold it for only 5 dollars less than what I bought it for.
