Shitty games you still enjoy

I'm not so sure about the voice acting...

I didn't say it was stellar, just that it was much better.

Red Steel the first one, I liked it better than the second one.

Cruis'n on the Wii I just liked it had that old school arcade game feel to it.

PO'd on the PS1 is was really good despite what reviewers said.

So many games that reviews slammed are really bad but sometime they are still entertaining even if they are far from perfect.

Edit: Like a monster movie with terrible special effects they can still provide a good time.

Super Buster Brothers on SNES, a game I never would've even known existed if it weren't for emulation. Basically what we'd call a minigame today, but it's one of my favorite games on any platform.

Mario Picross & Mario Picross 2: great timewasters on the train (I like them better than the DS version, where you'll have to do quite some scrolling). Same category on the arcade halls: Logic pro.
(note: mario Picross 2 wasn't even localised outside Japan. And I haven't seen it on an 'underground retro' gaming list).

Mario's Picross isn't shit. It's insanely addictive (got it on my 3DS).

Azure Dreams for the GBC. It's a port of the Playstation game with a lot of elements removed and some changed, and some would say that it's a Pokemon ripoff (though the equivalent of a Pokeball is one of the rarest items in the game), but I've played the !@#$ out of that game and loved it. I got somewhere around 80 hours in before my official cartridge died on me, so I only managed to finish the freshly-restarted game via Lameboy and its speed-up function.

Without the speedup button, it's a simplistic RPG that goes way too slowly to be enjoyable. With a speed-up button, it's enjoyable enough to at least finish once through. I'm saddened that all of the Youtube videos I've seen are from people who have no idea how to play the game. I'm not being egotistical there; the game basically says very early on "Here is how to change my (your first monster's) AI level from 'I assist you by adding slightly to your attacks' to 'I directly attack enemies for you'" and none of the videos I saw bothered to heed that advice.

I think my love for the game is partially because I never played the PSX version, so I never got to see the "full" version where the main character woos girls and such. I don't care, I'll merge a ShoTroll with a Souvenir to create a Berserk that'll rip your effing head off in one turn. [/geek]

EDIT: This was also one of the few "dual-mode" cartridges, with a black plastic case, which meant that they would work on an original Game Boy (and Super Game Boy!) but had color enhancements for the GBC if played on one.

What can I say, Pokemon is the one I can think off the top of my head.

Oh, and Wii Sports. Love that shit, but I don't play it much anymore.

Hm, I used to love Sid & Al's Incredible Toons. Lost the disc, can't be bothered to pirate it.

Digimon World 4

I played it with with my cousins using 3 controllers and the multitap and loved it to death when we were growing up.

Every so often we'd meet up and play it, and we're in our twenties.

 

[ichidansan]

hmm, a game that I remember that was slow, sometimes boring, and required me to buy the N64 memory card that jacks into the controller. BUT was somehow addictive and fun.

as a 8yr old I enjoyed it quite a bit, but now that I look back on it 12yr's later, well it was pretty suckish.

At the moment it is Code of Princess. The game is repetitive, but when I start playing I don't stop for an hour >_

Haven't heard that name before. Is it related to Legend Of Princess?

It came out recently for the 3DS.

I stand corrected, thought I think I still prefer Legend Of Princess
