I might write an article on the "weirdest games ever made," and would like to know which ones you think fit the bill. I'm looking for something like Mr. Mosquito, Cho Aniki, Guilty Gears, Katamari Damacy, Noby Noby Boy, etc. Basically games that have a weird premise, design, characters, etc. I'm sure we've all played some that made us go "WTF?"

This one game where you run around as a rabbit with a gun, and the first boss is some angry red bull (literally) with a flamethrower :lol:

Metal Slug. Where else can you have dumb soldiers, tanks, weird-looking aircraft, fat guys, zombies, giant mutant insects, man-eating plants, giant crabs, aliens, mentally challenged samurais and a whole lot more out to kill your character!? :lol: But yeah, the games are awesome despite its weirdness.

That wasn't simply weird, it was down right one of the most poorly designed games of all time. I actually still have a copy of it. I kept it because I wanted to see if I would ever play or hear of a game that was worse than it. Superman 64 was bad, but still a long ways away from ET.

Those belong more in the crap games section rather than weird, though.

For fairly contemporary stuff, I'd say all of Keita Takahashi's stuff (Katamari and Noby Noby Boy), Goichi Suda's stuff (Killer 7, No More Heroes 1 & 2), and Hideki Kamiya's latest (Bayonetta). You know what they say about Japan and crazy. P.S. All the games above happen to also be pretty good in their own right.

Eh, a lot of weird games are just weird for the sake of being weird, which I hate. If I had to list some that genuinely made me feel like the creator was messed up or on some drugs, I'd say Baroque or Theresia. Doubt you've heard of either one

lol, ya, but all Atari games were pretty darn weird by fault of their graphics and limited hardware potential. What was Adventure about?

Some of the characters in BlazBlue were pretty darn wierd, I have to say. And Noby Noby Boy as a whole was just ridiculous.

Super Mario Bros.

Seriously. A plumber enters a pipe and comes out into a world with walking talking mushrooms, flying turtles, cacti that are alive, suits that can cause him to throw balls of fire and ice, mushrooms that can make him grow larger or shrink.

Weird.

This can't be real. Great choices, btw. I'm sure Japan has a lot of "weird jewels" we don't know about (was hesitant of using that expression after seeing Muscle March, for obvious reasons).

Out of the games I've played, the weirdest games would be from Suda 51. That's part of the reason why I love them.

Killing ghosts with a torch was quite weird for me, but the upcoming Blood Dragon game is looking quite wacky.
