Extremely Weird And Obscure Games

[NotGodlike]

The rest of the Wars franchise I just remembered. Most people probably wouldn't know it's not just Advance Wars if it weren't for Smash. It is such a missed opportunity Battalion isn't named Gamecube Wars

I played the one on the Wii, it was pretty fun and had sandbox potential with how the missions were structured! (if only 3rd game did exist)

I'm really hoping that all the shit that happened to Reboot doesn't kill the franchise...again

This should be a good resource.

GiFTPiA, a game released exclusively for the GameCube, unfortunately so far there is no fan translation for this game.

This should be a good resource.

SUKAPONNNNNNN MY BELOVED

Hotel Dusk Room 215 and Last Window: Secret of Cape West for Nintendo DS by second party Nintendo developer Cing. Amazing underrated games. These need a remaster and rerelease just like Trace Memory got.

Wish this was released in the U.S.

About fifteen years ago, my local arcade in Springfield, Oregon had one of these whackass beetle fighting games made by Sega:

NGL, I really liked it! Totally had the card it would spit out, so I could play with the same beetle each time and help it grow stronger. I only played the game a few times before it got swapped out for something else, unfortunately

I grew up a "bug kid," and loved collecting bugs from the yard and putting them in a little wood and mesh holder that I had built. Only found a few Stag Beetles over the years, but I was always so fascinated by them - though I never made them fight. But at least I had this arcade game to help give me an idea of how that may have played out...

IT'S SO FUNNY WHAT THEY DID TO PARODY THIS WITH IN YAKUZA KIWAMI

Also incredibly funny that the video is age restricted

As title says, I'm interested in seeing some very odd and less known Nintendo developed/published games that are not part of their respective IPs.
As an example, there's StarTropics which is their alternate take on Zelda but on an distant island with some platformer elements.

I would heavily advise giving the Famicom Detective Club at least a brief look. It’s a somewhat unconventional recommendation, but perfectly lines up with being an obscure first party ip.

Gonna have to go with a game that was obscure and is sparsely mentioned today Kirby Air Ride!
Doesn't reading the name alone elicit a sense of joy?

Dawg, that’s Kirby.

I should have expected such an astute reply from a dang ol' writer man, man

Not obscure but i really dig this Namco collection on the psp. The pacman and galaga arrangements are very fun

A really strange one, i've only played it emulated but I would like to see a outfoxies cab in person. It is a really strange fighting game more akin to super smash brothers. But with murder and 90s bad guy tropes.

Glad to see some of my favorites already mentioned, here's a few that I don't think have come up here yet:

Panel de Pon (okay so it's known as Tetris Puzzle League or whatever in the States but all the original characters and story got replaced, my girl Lip was robbed of her English debut in broad daylight):

Sin and Punishment

Sakura Samurai

Steel Diver (I've only played Sub Wars)

ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat

Glory of Heracles DS (Nintendo has joint ownership of just the DS game, not the rest of the series)

Chibi-Robo

Dragalia Lost (another case of joint ownership, official servers are dead but there are fan servers that can be used to play the game)

Loved StarTropics. I remember buying a copy at KB Toys on deep discount as a young child. It was $5 brand new or something.

My other picks would definitely be Disaster: Day of Crisis and Devil's Third. I love the latter despite it getting trashed. It's one of the few Wii U games that never received a Switch port. It's a shame, I wish it wasn't left to rot on the Wii U.

Since there is not an openbor section, here is the link for Night Slashers X Rebalance 1.31 (it removes the flashy screen the X version had and also provides new content)
