Weirdest Sega Saturn Games?

[Reyn]

I want to know which sega saturn games are the weirdest and most comical, as I really love games like that. If its an import, please recommend English friendly games!

[NeoGeoNinja]

ANYTHING THAT...
sports the word "Parodius" may fulfill your requirement here

Equally, I've heard the Cho-Aniki games are particularly off their head too!

[Reyn]

Parodius? I love the snes games, but the saturn versions seem much better quality. I'll buy Gokujou, as it is quite inexpensive.

[Yart]

While not an exclusive, and is the bare minimum of what you can actually call a game, Yumimi Mix Remix is pretty strange.

As far as English friendly ones? I'll have to second that Cho Aniki and Parodius vote, and maybe throw in some Super Tempo too.

[mancity]

My vote goes to the extremely wierd, kind-of-shmup 'Tukai Slot Shooting'.

Love having it in my collection, but haven't a clue what to do!

[martiniii]

First thing that springs to mind are the secret levels in Solar Eclipse/Titan Wars, even though there's abolutely nothing weird or comical about the rest of the game. The developers really seem to have been having a ball with those levels.

And then of course, Mr. Bones. Typical early platformer wackiness, but above average in that department, and then they base a bunch of the levels on decidedly odd gameplay.

Mr Bones is definitely up there in the Weird rankings, but it's also very much up there in my top 5 favourite Saturn games.

Yumimi seems really weird. Some unicorn calls into a ditch and into a house and turns into a girl or something? xD

Anyways, Parodius is a very good series, so I'll give it a go. Maybe Cho Aniki.

[Anthaemia.]

Keio Flying Squadron 2 was the first game I thought of having read the title of this thread...

[Reyn]

Is that the platforming game with the bunny girl, or am I mistaken?

[MIK]

Nights into Dreams.

Never saw the attraction and why it's never held it's price either. Nice eye candy and all but not my thing.

Yea it's about some girl who goes to some school and when she sees monsters she grows a unicorn horn and shoots LASER STRINGS that opens portals to other dimensions so she can send the monsters back, and then some other girl keeps falling in love with her everytime they touch.

It's highschool unicorn lesbian love with other stupid bizarre things happening.

I don't understand Japanese, but I played through the whole thing and got the general idea of what was going on. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of the humor (particularly dialog) but it's worth a look anyways if you just want to go "WHAT THE HELL?!"

[zyrobs]

Parodius is not even in the top 5 weirdest on the Saturn.

try Cho Aniki, Pulirula Arcade Gears, Keio Flying Squadron 2, even Game Tengoku...

[Oho]

I know this is a smidge off topic but I can tell you the weirdest Wii game. It was a Japanese-only release called Captain Rainbow. There were some videos on youtube awhile back where they translated certain parts into English, and one specific part was where you found a princess in a cage out in the open and you had to go find her "special stick" from her drawers in her bedroom and take it back to her.

Or Caution Seaman for the Dreamcast where Leonard Nimoy talks back to you.

[zyrobs]

Seaman was awesome. It was a tamagotchi version of the fishes from Monty Pythons Meaning of Life, with microphone based voice control. I don't know how they managed to think that one up.
