Japanese Retro Video Games

I decided to make this topic after playing some old PS1 racing games.The game i nominate is Rally De Africa. This is a bog standard rally game that is no too hard to complete and is ok to nplay, but not great by any means. So why nominate it? It must have the most insane commentary in any game ever. It is a Japanese man trying to speak in an African voice.

Continually hearing the awfull African accent which sounds like it came from a 1930's Tarzan film  with a slight japanese accent and unable to pronounce the letter r (easy light anyone) makes this a silly comedy game. I think in Briatin and many Western countries there would be outrage as it does seem slightly racist (unitentionally though).

Hmmmm, I'll have to think about this one...there must be some great examples out there.

One that springs to mind is Seaman on the Dreamcast.  Raising a virtual life form in a fish tank whislt continually talking to it with that microphone - mental.

Also The Typing of The Dead (also Dreamcast).   The bit that makes it so genius are the cut scenes where the characters run around with Dreamcasts on their backs and keyboards instead of guns.  Surreal magic.

Switch (or Panic) for Mega CD. Is it a game? You and your canine companion enter various rooms and choose a switch that either kills you or takes you to another room. Amusing animation but only for so long.

I'd add the Cho Aniki series and Osomatsu-Kun MD. Insane.

And Samba de Amigo. It's not so crackers in itself with it being a rhythm-action game, but if you watch someone else playing so you can take notice of what's going on in the background, it's actually quite scary.

I forgot Death Smiles. The cow boss is one of the most amazingly bizarre things I've ever seen in a game.

Cho Aniki takes some beating, and that goes for all the versions. Toilets Kids on the PCE is pretty insane as well.

Guess my game that I am thinking about. Your a 44 year old bachelor, going up against a little girl armed with her toys in her room. Cho Anki is not really that odd.

If you know what Utlimate muscele is, then the whole thing seems normal Luis Armstrong from Full Metal Alcamist answers that question.

The muscele means respect

The mucsle means love
