Wow, it's been awhile since I've been here sweeties. XD

Anyway, y'all may know that I'm a huge Nintendo fan and I play obscure Nintendo games, that you may never heard of. XD

Here's my top five:

1. Joy Mecha Fight - Famicom. It was basically what would happen if Mega Man and Street Fighter had a baby. XD You play as a robot who has to fight clones of other robots. The game was incredibly fun, and looked really good for it's time. If you manage to come across it, I suggest you should play it, you won't be sorry.

2. Nazo no Murasamejō - Famicom Disk System. It was my first game for the FDS. You play as a Samurai who goes through these paths and dungeons to defeat the boss. The game play was similar to Zelda, but it was more arcade like; Time Limit, Hi Score, fast paced action. The music was also catchy too.

3. StarTropics - NES. One of my favorite games when I was younger. You play as Mike Jones who had to find his uncle, Dr. Jones. The game play was silmar to NES Zelda except, it had a few more RPG elements, you could jump, and your weapon was a Yo-yo. XD

4. Chibi Robo - GCN. This one was a little more recent, and some people might have played it. All I gotta say, I loved it for it was so unique and had a charm. Who knew doing chores could be so much fun! X3

5. Balloon Kid - GB. I loved this game for it was like how Mario Bros transitioned to Super Mario Bros. You play as a girl named Alice who has save her brother who's been accidentally being carried away thanks to a bunch of ballons. I especially loved the references to the original Balloon Fight such as the music and enemies still being in the game. =D


Well sweeties, those were my favorites, let's discuss your favorites...if you know any. XD
Erm... I dunno. xD I guess EarthBound would be one, but I haven't played any of the games. x.x' Also, would Kid Icarus and Ice Climbers count?

Also, off-topic, but why are your signatures and avatars always so... girly? You're confusing me; your name's Jeremy, but... x.x'

(No, Jeremy is, like, completely sure she is a boy. xD)

Ice Climber shouldn't count as a franchise, I think, because there's only one game. Now, Kid Icarus, on the other hand, has two. x_X

For me, it's definitely EarthBound. I just loved that game, and now I consider my favorite game. =P I'm currently playing Mother (EarthBound Zero) and will play Mother 3 when a fan translation comes out. Definitely the best obscure franchise for me.
I thought Star Tropics was an okay game. I'm not sure why I downloaded it onto the Wii...

Anyway, I can't say there's a obscure franchise I'm a fan of... unless you count Golden Sun.
I guess I would say the Phoenix Wright series. Very fun games and some of the most unique I've ever played.

I guess Golden Sun does count as an obscure franchise, right?
