weird/eccentric vibes


what the fuck

that should be your initial reaction whenever you play anything on this list. expect the majority of these to be from japan. excluding games that are bizarre in a horrific/disturbing way - more so favoring the cutesy/vibrant side of the equation. y'know - stuff like pepsiman and katamari

originally this was titled "weird/'japanese' vibes", but i felt that was too specific and vague at the same time. hopefully that narrows things down

as per usual, suggestions/revisions are appreciated!

"patapon" and "the denpa men"?

3 years ago

also mii games in general, like tomodachi collection -> tomodachi life, miitopia, even streetpass mii plaza (to a lesser degree)

3 years ago

those work. i'm not gonna add the other mii games beyond tomodachi life cause that just gets incredibly redundant, but i'll add them in a note

Would Pikmin qualify for this?

3 years ago

yeah, good call. guess i got so tied up with the obscure ones i forgot about the obvious picks

3 years ago

Some of the Mario RPGs would probably qualify for this as well, especially Super Paper Mario.

3 years ago

nah that's way too much of a household name to even be considered weird

ganbare neo poke-kun

2 years ago

aye. very good call

2 years ago

the caligula effect

2 years ago

eh thats just standard anime stuff

1 year ago

Would Gimmick! qualify for this list?

1 year ago

eh i think gimmick is pretty normal all things considered

Wario Land 4

1 year ago

warioware got the wario rep

Lego Island?

1 year ago

Then how about Ristar?

1 year ago

eh ristar's just a mascot. if he counted then we'd be including sonic and anything else too. this is more about things that stand out as being particularly absurd rather than being... iunno, just unique

1 year ago

there's probably a fitting lego game that could go here

Ok, last suggestions are Tomato Adventure and Dynamite Headdy.
