My favorite genre is weird, old Japanese games made before circa ~2006. Can you recommend anything? I don't care if it's untranslated.

Some of my favorite games in this immaculate genre:
>Yume Nikki
>moon: Remix RPG Adventure
>Cubivore
>killer7
>Flower, Sun, & Rain
>Contact (DS)
>Planet Laika (pictured)
>LSD
>Iblard Laputa no Kaeru Machi
>Ihatovo Monogatari

Games I haven't played but plan to:
>Kowloon's Gate
>Baroque (Saturn)
>Silver Case duology
>Garage: Bad Dream Adventure
>Pu·Li·Ru·La

What else can I add?

Plus the thing in pic related
>A game by Japanese pop music producer Tetsuya Komuro where you control a flying shoe inside the guy's synthesizer in order to find some CDs that went astray.

I don't feel like just naming off random games so here's a list for you sorted by release date
>https://www.backloggd.com/u/Barmaglot/list/house-of-lost-games-3/release:asc/
Not exclusively Japanese but still a good list though.
Well, you are lacking some popular ones that are relatively easy to get into like Rule of Rose and old FROM games for the PS1 like Echo Night and Shadow Tower (Iblard at times feels like it was made with the same engine). Then there's also Doctor Hauzer if you are into classic AitD, there are a lot of games like this, really

Katamari Damacy

Yoot Saito's games like Seaman and Odama. (Yoot Tower is good too but not that weird.)

Shadow Hearts: Covenant felt pretty weird

Fucking poser list. This shit is 100% just "I found games with weird titles or box art" because half of them are just shitty atari and early microcomputer games with fucking stick figure graphics. And then there's just shit like Ecco the Dolphin in there for some reason.

It's obviously not his own list, it's a list he found through some youtube channel.

It's from a vk group

this is one of many games I was so hopeful MUH AI AHHHHHHH ITS THE FUTURE was going to somehow magically translate or speed up translating. Instead we're still stuck with mentally ill attention whore furries feuding on twitter or the new gayer twitter 24/7.

>>11505418
Could do it yourself.
>>
>>11505201
Try Nemuru Mayu.
>>
>>11505528
That's my holy grail weird game for getting translated. Isn't it really long, like 90 hours?
>>
>>11505589
Don't really know. Not that far into the game yet. Put about 10 hours so far. New concepts and stuff is still being introduced, so yeah wouldn't be surprised it's 90 hours + in total.

>nobody listed my favorite quirky Japanese retro title
Phew I'm safe, I'm still a hipster
>>
>>11505661
I specifically thought about your favorite quirky Japanese retro game, but I chose not to mention it because it's shit

>>11505460
Amazing reply. You sure got him.

Is the original translation team still working on it or are we stuck with the Japanese->Spanish->English machine translation?
>>
>>11505201
>>Kowloon's Gate
does that have an english patch out yet?
Also to add to your list check out kaze no notam, fun little hot air ballon sim by the same developer
>>
>>11505730
His alternative is waiting for other people to do it, in his case the two options are shitty AI translation or shitty troon translation. The only person he's getting is himself.
>>
>>11506125
The last thing I heard from the old translation team was "we're relasing it next month!", and that was about a year ago...

Check the Google sheet in that link because they say backloggd doesn't have all their games listed. Can't link it here because 4chan thinks my post is spam (lol)
