Kirby, Kingdom Hearts (though it can be rather dark for a "cute" game at times), and Mario. I own Mario Kart with Yoshi and my friend likes to remark on how cute he is when posing. I am so waiting for Okamiden. Chibiterasu is an adorable little puppy god.

Ninja'd. But he's right, you get conned into thinking it's a nice and easy game with all the cutesy characters, read it's a curtain fire shooter, whatever that meant, pick normal difficulty and then, "POW!" you are getting stomped like crazy. Curtain fire? No it's bullet hell.

My favorite character has to be Marisa though, the only semi-normal girl in the project. Just saying.

Another pic for Touhou.

Will I get in trouble for shameless advertising if I mention the Escapist Touhou fan group here?

I'm surprised. No one has mentioned Spore yet!

So I will ninja you all!

And mention a surprise inclusion: Tropico. Go on, discover the cuteness (and great, GREAT music!)

Honestly, it quite owns my life. It isn't all about the games though (awesome as they are). The fan community spends a lot of time remixing the music from the games, creating fan comics, fan games, fan art (the official art is lacking, to say the least. It's getting better though), and spawning memes about the characters from those songs/games/comics. Longevity guaranteed, unless you're massively opposed to those kinds of things.

One of my favorite games ever. Gods, I wish I still had a working N64...

Yoshi's Island deserves a mention too, really...

This is not the escapist I know and love, wheres all the testosterone gone?

Anyway, I think modnation can be pretty cute, for example one of my karts is a little black toy train with red wheels with a black outline ... granted the person driving is a blue cyclopes with a nail in it's head but it's still a *sigh* cute game.

Well, if they gave a BFG to a teddy bear I'd definitely play it.
Ohh, Naughty Bear, please don't disappoint me...
I get the distinct feeling Naughty Bear will be just as cute as Manhunt in a teddy bear outfit.

OT with regards to cute games, Viva Pinata springs to mind, although it does make kids act wierd.

I loved Harvest Moon 64 to death back when I was a kid and today. It's addicting as hell, but still remains fun and challenging. And certainly very, very cu-UTE! The PS1 game my sister owned is also great (I don't know which one).

Were it not for the incredibly cute and funny Prinnies, Legend of Disgaea wouldn't sit in my top 5 games (how can you make a stitched up suicide bomber cute? Penguins, d00d!).

And props go to Banjo-Kazooie. I cannot *not* mention that classic!

Plants vs Zombies is one of the cutest tower defence games I have ever played.

'Everybody likes and respects Torchwood. They like him for his integrity, for his steadfast friendship, for his ability to greatly maximize pea damage. But Torchwood has a secret: he can't read.' :3

That may sound wierd, but actually Dwarf Fotress with a tileset.
These little dwarf sprites are adorable!

hmmm, i would be suprised that no-ones mentioned this yet, but what with the lack of Monster Hunter PSP fans in 'the western world', i no longer have that feeling toward this game.

no, not the monster hunter game itself! the spinoff series concerning the felynes being cute and adorable... sure, they hunt the games monsters, but these are cute adorable plushie versions of the monsters :D

i present... some weirdly named game thats only out in Japan at the moment... but for those non-believers, Nyaa i say, Nyaa! ;p

this would be the 3rd time too many i've mentioned harvest moon. i think people have talked about it enough though. Kirby is definatly pretty good for cute-fan drawn stuff :) the games are cute, but much more awesomely fun then they are cute.

Ape escape, particularly of the '2' variety is pretty cute. Ape Escape 3 tried a little too hard, but is still considerably cute i suppose.

EDIT: Lemmings too of course :D i always found those pretty cute

Plants VS Zomvies has a "cute" feeling for me whenever i play it. Other than that i don't really play many "cute" games.

Oh sweet nostalgia.
One of the most underrated games for the N64.

Also cute:
Kirby 64 - The Crystal Shards

It may be cute, but it can be bastard hard.

I also thought that the enemies of the original Spyro games were pretty cute, I didn't like killing them.
