By unknown/underground, I mean that pretty much everyone you talk to has never heard of it.
Final Fantasy, Warcraft, Mario, Legends of Zelda, etc. are non-examples.
My favorite game series, Sengoku BASARA, which is by CAPCOM, is underground here in the US. Over in Japan, it's a big thing. One of the characters was actually used in some political ad.
...though I've seen SenBasa ads on Gaia (for the movie that recently got released in the US) emotion_kirakira
