Mischief Makers?

Technically it's not a Nintendo game, as it was published by Enix.

 

[Moreno909]

Ninja Spirit, Gun Force II, Blade Master

Probably my favorite obscure arcade series. I wish they'd make a sequel or get the Arcade Archives treatment!

Freya the Wizard is waifu.

I don’t know much about it but I’ve plunged into investing the ‘Spectral Force’ after playing ‘Spectral Force Genesis’ , it has 10 entries (from my knowledge), only 3 seeming to have English releases. (Even those have limited info regarding their contents except ‘Spectral Force 3’ which I’m not as interested in)

Screenshots of the first game ^
I was unable to find any translations, and I don’t know a lick of Japanese.

I’m extremely curious if anyone on the forum has any knowledge on it and didn’t want to make a whole new thread for it so I’m asking here

Screenshots from the second game

Forgot to mention there’s also a very poorly rated Ova for the first game. It had 2 approximately 25 minute long episodes I need to watch

Takeshi is in the Battle Royale movie

don't know how 'obscure' it is but Tecmo Knight I guess

A decent Russian Fallout-like RPG with pretty interesting writing, although apparently some of it gets lost in translation due to how much is based off Russian prison terminology. I still liked it and enjoyed it enough during my time completing it. An apocalyptic vision of a prison colony on a planet and after some time I've kind of forgotten what else it's about. There's a sequel but it hasn't been translated and the fan-translation doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast.

Takeshi Kitano is my favorite artists of all time, no joke. I love how he's such a weird guy with a W I D E range of multimedia projects.

For me, it's REZ by SEGA.
I love REZ by SEGA.
Playing REZ by SEGA with the TRANCE VIBRATOR accessory is a transcendental experience.

Glover for the Nintendo 64.
Very weird platformer that I discovered after watching an obscure youtube channel covering it.
At first it looks like your typical n64 platformer, but it gets really weird once you start to go deep into it.

I would be surprised, if anyone knows this game.

You pilot a chopper and fire bomb people infected with Ebola. I'm not kidding.

 

[WarmMash]

The better version of Osu!

 

[Amakuchi]

Some odd ones I can think of atm, the latter was actually one of the first games to use digitized sprites.

Serious:
Armed & Delirious, a goofy point-and-click adventure, looks like a cartoon. You play as Granny, who has to find her missing family and cookbook in a crazy world made by the Great Rabbit. The puzzles are weird and funny, like a wacky cartoon gone mad. Almost like the developers where smoking something... not quite legal

The strangest game I’ve ever played

Weird, obscure, but so so good
