I like these games

Never seen anyone but me mention this game. It's pretty good though.

does it count if I'm the only one who mentions it?

>>3780417
Most JP only games really.

>>3780417
Thanks for bringing that game to my attention. It's neat how the combat and overworld are the same engine kind of makes it feel like Mizzurna Falls and the anime opening reminds me of Wild Arms. I would probably put it on my Xplay for later play if my Japanese were better because Konami RPGs had stories with a subtly different 90s JRPG flavor.

I must admit to it being a while since I really combed the PSX-J library I usually just talk about my go-to "obscure games" Blade Arts, Gungage, Gegege No Kitarou, ChoroQ 2-3, Racing Lagoon, Panic Coaster and ParanoiaScape but now I see them come up on lists even in mainstreamfags sites so maybe not obscure enough for this thread

Even though I HAVE mentioned it in passing I'll suggest checking out the Simple series of games. In the US the only "budget games" were Greatest Hits re-releases and some rushed games from the end of the console lifespan like Martian Gothic and Eternal Eyes but in Japan new budget releases were a staple. The "series" is their price in yen so pic related released at about $15.

Most of them have sort of arcadey score attack feeling gameplay but using the "cutting edge" 3D aesthetic of the Playstation and later PS2. None were Westernized I guess because it wouldn't have been worth the cost? But most are simple enough to be playable. It's not graphics/gameplay combo that appeals to a lot of people but maybe to some. They amuse me pretty good for short periods but I'm a pretty weird guy.

This is on my shopping list.
I'll be sure to post about it, /vr/.

I remember the Japanese kids in my neighborhood having those. I was pretty jelly.

>>3780605

Expert Mode: There is a whole series.

>>3780584

What are these? Super Robot Taisen?

>Gun Survivor minus the gun
Awesome

>>3780963
>Blade Arts
The destructible environments during boss fights were rad as hell in that game, definitely caught me off guard during my first playthrough.

The level design is kind of wildly inconsistent though.
>I'll suggest checking out the Simple series of games.
I don't know how the Simple Series is obscure nowadays, EDF kinda made them some kind of hipster underdog.
For budget games they're not all bad I guess, problem is that there's so many Simple Series games that only a 10% of them are actually worth playing, most of it is bland shovelware.

Or any of the series for that matter.

Fray looks cute
I want to play her game

>>3781526
Even bland shovelware can be enjoyable pseudo nostalgically. The shallow gameplay can really allow you to soak up the aesthetics. It's a good way to enjoy B-tier 2nd gen games, too.

>>3782441
best breakout

>>3782443
with best OPL3 soundtrack

I just posted this in the PS1 thread, but N2O is fucking fantastic. It's a typical tunnel shooter in most ways except for the trippy visuals which add to the difficulty as you progress. It's Tempest with moving walls and a shape shifting tunnel.

It has a nice learning curve that makes it easy to pick up but rewards skills and reflex at higher play levels. Watch the speed and tunnel movement as this bonus level progresses.

The entire game loaded into RAM so you could swap the disc out for any audio CD of your choosing.

>>3782383
THERE IS A FUCKING UBIK GAME?

>>3782589
Cumbersome UI but pretty good.

>>3782002
A shame that this is the only thing that gets talked about

Translation never ever

>>3782640
London Ghost Detectives, amirite?

>>3782640
>set in england
>not available in english
lol

They said we'd have a translation ready 2 years ago...

>>3780605
But Robopon did get released in english

>>3782720
They also said that 20 years ago. We talk about this game all the time though. It and Segagaga.

>>3780584
Only JRPG on the N64 and they don't bother to translate it.

>>3781335
Related to Rapid Reload?

>>3780884
This, 1st and second gen games, and homebrew shit, also obviously Euro-exclusive shit too. Bumping for an interesting thread.

>>3782953
>Related to Rapid Reload?
Not at all.

>>3782965
that and Super Adventure Rockman

The red headed step childs no one cares about unless diehard fans...
>b-but what about mega man 1 & 3 PC?
they are adopted.

>>3780584
bruh

>>3785228
THICC

Despite all the Metroid fans this game has managed to stay hidden and well forgotten.

>>3780605
That is still very easy. You just have to keep in mind that /vr/ is very casual, especially these days.

It's an amazing puzzle platformer, though.

>>3787158
Shit bosses though.

>>3780687
I beat it.

Chaos Heat (the predecessor too). Fite me fgt

I once made a thread for space sims, it didn't get a single reply.
