ITT obscure /m/ games
>>
>>22942453
If that devilman game is the one I’m thinking of, there’s a bonus mode where you get to play as the 1972 anime version of the character, the intro is even changed to being a recreation of the original op and even had the voice cast reprise their roles

yeah, pretty sure that was the only Genesis game Mazinger had (or dynamic in general)
one of those "has some good ideas but kinda shit in practice" games, like the giant boss fights
>>
>>22943397
Something similar was also done with Devilman. A pixel adventure where you could play as Miki and Dosu Roku too. A little change here and there, but still very close to the source material aside from the ending. I remember you could change size too when in Devilman-mode.
>>
>>22942925
It might be hard to believe, but videogame consoles and imports existed in the 90s.
>>
>>22943758
NTA, but do you have any consoles from before the 2000s? And do you have any /m/ related games on those consoles? Just curious.

Amazing. And I'm sure you've beaten them all too. I remember there was some confusion with the Devilman game when the first transformation happens. When you're getting pulled by the testicle monster and have to just mash every button because the console and in-game commands were weirdly written. Any trouble with that?
>>
>>22944371
>testicle monster
How horrifying, lmao. I meant "tentacle monster".

>>22944371
>And I'm sure you've beaten them all too.
Of course, they're a good two decades old.

>When you're getting pulled by the testicle monster and have to just mash every button because the console and in-game commands were weirdly written.
That's about right.
>>
>>22944377
Yeah, I had no doubts, just that some of those games are really difficult. Physical games are relics. This stuff is like alien-tech to me. I'm more of an Xbox 360 kind of guy. The closest I ever got to "Mecha" was Real Steel and that was just the demo.

Wasn't there some Monopoly game on the Famicom that had a bunch of 70s Super Robots that got translated like a year or two ago?

Gundam Version 2.0 might be the hardest out of all of them, just insane difficulty creeps even on Normal. Target in Sight on the PS3 is the "latest" mecha game I've played, just got no real interest in that generation and beyond.

I always found it bizarre that Zegapain had a game exclusively on the Xbox 360. It’s actually how I found out about the anime after looking through a list of Japanese region 360 games years ago

Kishin Hishou (the sequel to OG Demonbane) does have action gameplay segments, though they're kind of mediocre and lose their charm after the first couple of fights

Are recent obscure games allowed? There is a prequel to Slave Zero called Slave Zero X, while you don't play as a mecha like in the original (instead as a samurai with a living armor), the plot is in part about the creation of the mecha from the original.

Not sure if that counts as obscure but I loved this game
Fun gameplay, great story and music
Kinda like small scale Macross if it was set in 30s, had Megaman Legends gameplay and Char clone as the main antagonist.
It was strange translation choice to localize vehicles that are clearly not powered by steam engines as stream bots though.

Does it count?
the funniest thing about it : even though it's likely the voice acting was done in Japan, the japanese text is still different from what the english voice actor are staying (well in the details, not everything)
Which makes me wonder why they even had english voice actors considering the game was only releasing in Japan.

It's basically "what if armored core was done by a less competent team and they had a very low budget", the game design and graphics would be more fitting the PS1 than the PS2. But it's still enjoyable enough.
A few staff members of it ended up working coincidentally on AC. (though most left the game industry, but that's for most people working on games really.)
