Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

How many people talk about pac man world 2? That game still holds up and it's one of the few gamecube discs that is still in a great condition after all of these years.

The Banner Saga, beautiful hand drawn rotoscoped visuals and animation, great characters, strong story and lore. Gameplay is turn based strategy, and it’s very addicting. Absolutely fantastic music. Never hear anyone talking about it.

That was one of my favorite games as a kid! I think it was super ahead of it's time too, the mech battling feels really MOBA-esque especially in hindsight.

Rune factory 3. It’s not popular anymore, nor do I see it talked about but I still play it from time to time. Sometimes I leave it open just to listen to the music/background and sometimes I fire up youtube and my speaker just to listen to its OST.

Back in the day Hidden & Dangerous was a fantastic game. Spent many hours crawling on my stomach sniping. And the multiplayer LAN parties were epic for the sheer fun and hilariousness of the bugs we found. Only my friends at the time have ever heard of it though.

Not so much my favorite game, but just one of absurd obscurity: Special Training ‘99

It was a game I found in school that I lost track of and nobody I asked about it had any notion of what I was talking about. Only just found it again recently.

Digimon World (PSX)

Endorfun. I got it for Christmas in 95 or 96 and would spend hours playing it. Years later I would get emulators to continue playing it. Introduced my college roommate to it. There were times I couldn't get the sound of the animations to work, but I kept coming back to it. Every now and then, I'll revisit it. Wish it would get a rerelease or new version, maybe something I could pay on my phone. Loved the music, the moving colors and textures. It has a therapeutic way of getting me out of my head.

Sally Can't Sleep. It's a strange indie first person platformer with a lot of focus on versatile and exploitable movement mechanics. The dev sacrificed visual polish for quantity and style, so the game has a lot of interconnected levels with a wide variety of different mechanics, types of level design, and visual styles - it's a really good example of how much a solo developer can accomplish. It's pretty funny, too. I don't think I've ever seen a game pull a credits gag like it did.

Never heard of this one and it's title and your summary has grabbed me. Will check it out~

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Luigi's Mansion. My absolute favorite game on Gamecube and probably my favorite Nintendo franchise, but I never hear anyone talking about it unless there is a new release.

Sonic riders zero gravity: The game is a sequel to Sonic riders, dumb down for new players but the music still slaps
