EVERYTHING from Japan is weird. [no offense to you japanese peeps]

yes....japan....with their samurai...ninjas.....ghosts...more ghosts.....and ppl that visit every place in the world and take pictures of everything.......RUN FOR JAPANEESE PPL PEWDS!!! THEY WILL TAKE PICTURES OF YOU!!!!

I see a distinct lack of Persona 3.

Seriously, that game can be wierd sometimes.

How about the table flippin arcade game

WTF Japan. They come up with some weird stuff.

私が日本語を話すと、それはすばらしいです。:D

(I speak Japanese, and it's awesome. :D)

P.S. Does anyone know where I could get a copy of Ikenie No Yoru, or do I have to import it from Japan?
If pewds won't play it, I guess i'll just play it myself.

I imported it from Japan and hacked my Wii. It's great fun to play, I can imagine even more fun with friends.

Tsk tsk tsk teaching people to hack now?

Ok thanks, I plan to head to Japan next year for an exchange and will bring back a LOT OF AWESOME SHIT.

I'll need to get some money...



Also, Pewds, this is a great time to ask for people with translations.

I can't help but feel that this list is lacking a few, how should I put it, notable weird Japanese games.

I this video there are some that were not mentioned. But obviously there's too many too count, however..:

As of no surprise Seaman is in the video. Still, the others are:

Katamari Damacy

In the PS2 game Katamari Damacy you play a cylinder-headed prince who pushes around a giant ball. The objective of the game is to collect increasingly larger objects. Add a completely ridiculous soundtrack and some heavily stylized graphics and you have one of the most original and weird game concepts ever created!



Catherine

Not many games try to tackle relationship problems, let alone with block puzzles and sheep. But that's exactly what Catherine does. In this sexy PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game you control a guy named Vincent. He must navigate his way through a love triangle and escape surreal dreams. It's .... pretty weird indeed.



Mister Mosquito

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a mosquito. No? Neither have we, but some crazy guys in Japan made a game about it anyway. In Mister Mosquito you are a mosquito who has to suck blood from a Japanese family without being noticed. This PS2 game is truly weird, and may leave you feeling a little dirty at times....



LSD Dream Emulator

It shouldn't come as a surprise that a game titled 'LSD Dream Emulator' is a little weird. In this obscure Playstation game you progress through different dreams without a real goal. We're wondering if the developers actually were on LSD when they made the game. Let's hope they were cause you would have to be completely mental to come up with this stuff on your own.



If you ask, yes these are the exact words in the video and the description. I copied and pasted because I honestly failed to put my own thoughts about them in my own words. That is how weird they are to me. The only words I could come up with were, good lord, WTF, and what is wrong with people. No future explanation needed in my opinion.
