A big pick of mine has to be Duck Hunt. It's hailed as being such a retro gem just because the dog was amusing, but the gameplay really isn't that good, and in fact, the gun worked only half the time, as I remember.

Also, Viewtiful Joe. It never ceases to enrage me that the media glorified the game for how difficult it was. It's one thing for a game like Megaman to be difficult, because running and gunning is generic, and so at least one game is entitled to be harder than the pack. However, VJ was an innovative idea with broad appeal to begin with, so making it difficult only ruined it for many people. It's even worse when the game had multiple difficulty levels. They could have just made the lowest level really easy, and kept the highest level the same, working perfectly to please everyone, but instead they just settled on hard, harder, hardest. That's a bad idea.
