@Anti-Matter Afraid I haven't played the GameCube Pokemon games. The only console Pokemon games I played are Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 (US), and Pokemon Let's Go Eevee (if you want to count it, I'm counting it since I can play it on TV).
@MarioLover92 I am, though, I may wait to buy Captain Toad. Kind of want to get a physical copy of it. I like what I'm playing so far. I don't think the discount applies to physical copies anyway. Yeah, I think Sonic Advance's mini game was more like rock paper scissors.
Yeah, I remember my elementary school used Apple II computers, then moving to a new town, the school there used Mac. Fun part, I was use to a mouse at the time thanks to Mario Paint. Cool, pack-in games can be fun. I remember the Windows PC my family got came with Rayman 2, and my gaming desktop came with Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness. I did play a good chunk of Mac games, I liked Star Wars Rebel Assault II the most. It may be an FMV-style rail shooter, but it blew my mind at the time on how realistic it looked compared to the consoles we had. I bought it on GOG years ago just to play it again.
Neat, you had it since day one. I got Team Sonic Racing on Switch before I had my then new PC. I think the only people I played online in TSR was my two IRL friends. Never played randoms online with it, even though I played the previous Sonic and Sega racing games online a lot on Wii and Wii U.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
@Snatcher The forums have had some volatile threads, but generally it's pretty laid back here. Though I choose to engage in less topics these days for various reasons.
@MarioLover92 From what I understand, the first FMA series took some significant leaps from the source material but is still perfectly enjoyable. Brotherhood is supposed to be closer IIRC. I have a lot to watch and play too. I can deal with the occasional R rated flick as long as it doesn't reach a level above The Hangover movies lol.
@Anti-Matter Glad you seem to be enjoying your new Sonic game. As for most sports games, especially those that try to copy real life, those have never really been my thing. If you aren't liking that MLB game, I'd suggest moving on. Life is too short.
Currently playing: Pokemon Scarlet DLC, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch)
It's insane how about a year ago, I thought that M rated games were games I was never going to play, but now I have quite a few in my collection. SMT V, Persona 5, Persona 5 Strikers (PS+ offer), both NieR games. I never thought I'd play a game with as much gore as NieR and be able to handle it, but I know that I can now, and I'm excited to see what other games I can experience with stories as good as these.

Meanwhile, i keep my gaming rules no rated M games allowed whatsoever reasons.
Only games for kids (with a few of Teen games) are allowed in my gaming place.
I have expanded my gaming horizons from never before played games on other machines (including the genre) but still safe for kids.
@Anti-Matter Okay, cool. You do you. But personally, most of the best games I've played have been M rated ones. They're able to tell more nuanced stories with actual emotion baked into them. They're able to tackle grander themes due to catering to adults, and things like blood-spray kind of weigh events down in reality in my mind, giving death scenes proper weight that it feels like many games are lacking when I go back to play things like T rated games. It felt weird watching characters die in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, since every death kinda felt a bit more weightless.

I don't even want to feed my brain with such gruesome story like that.
I'm already disgust and hate those ideas.
I do not even want to know about their existences.
And that's why i oftenly said i hate AAA games due to a lot of rated M games from AAA title.
I would rather feed my brain with something cute, innocent, kiddie, rainbow, girlie, cartoonish to make me happy.
Maybe some violence but still have to appropriate for kids and teen.
Question for all of you, guys.
What obscure / unpopular games you have ever played ?
The games are only you know and like better but almost nobody ever knew or have interest about your unpopular games. Even i might never heard before.
@Anti-Matter I have a vague memory of playing a learning game that was called (I think) "I Did It Mom" when I was young. I can't find it on NL's database so it must be obscure.
1. Clive Barker's Undying - This is an FPS game made by EA back in 2001. It is very little known game and I consider it a hidden gem. the YouTube channel World of Longplays even published my full walkthrough of it in 2011 The atmosphere in the game is superb!
2. Sanitarium - This 2D point and click adventure is unforgettable for me and yet not many people know of it! Again Longplays published my longplay of it 2011. The game is so well done and so interesting that EVERY point and click adventure fan should play it!
3. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic - made with the Source engine (Half-Life 2) the game is fantasy FPS game set in the world of Ashan, the new world Ubisoft created for their Heroes of Might and Magic games (HoMM V, HoMM VI, HoMM VII and M&MX). The campaign is very interesting and takes you on a journey through many places. Also there is a leveling system.
4. Severance Blade of Darkness - another amazing game that has the Darksouls spirit way before Darksouls existed
5. Rising Kingdoms - almost no one knows this amazing 2D RTS game. It is like Warcraft 3 but in 2D. It is made my Haemimont Games which is a Bulgarian gaming company
6. Tzar the Burden of the Crown - again a Bulgarian fantasy strategy game made by Haemimont Games. It is so damn good!
7. Kingdom Under Fire - RTS game that only few remember! Another hidden gem!

SMT V, Persona 5, Persona 5 Strikers (PS+ offer), both NieR games.

Word for word down to the exact game choices. Violence isn't necessary to enjoyment of a video game but when done right it should make everyone in the room question your sanity as you draw happiness from mowing down enemies. In the UK Persona 5's rated 16, so the M rating's less pronounced, but considering how heavy the themes are I'm surprised it's rated that easily. If you haven't played The Witcher 3 I'd recommend that (I have the game but am waiting for the PS5 port, same with Cyberpunk).
@Anti-Matter Scaler, my god that was just one of the games on ps2 that might not look good, but lord did I have a blast with that game, and I would kill for it to get a remaster.
I might be wrong about this one, but only because I have heard no one talk about it.
Spy vs Spy on the Xbox, Another gem, I wish they would remaster, they were actually going to too, but then the team quit, god.
There was this other game on the xbox called blinx, I loved the characters in this game, part 2 also added a a lot, but those tales are for another day.
None of the games I listed might not even be unpopular, but I hear no one talk about these games at all, and these were games I loved.

@Snatcher
Oh, Scaler.
I knew that game. 🙂
A 3D platformer game with blue chameleon + sliding on rail like Ratchet & Clank style.
I have never played that game before but i have ever watched the gameplay from Youtube and i already knew that title long time ago since 2000's era.
For Blinx, i still unable to figure it out about the gameplay. It was like a big question mark on my face. 😕
I didn't see any appealing from the gameplay style. Not even looks interesting like Ratchet & Clank style. The character design also was not helping me to get interested.
Btw, my attention recently was on this game.
I still keep my eyes on this game as i never have interest about this game before, nor even have interest to watch its movie but suddenly... since i found there was one seller of game shop have that game on sale this month, i keep my eyes on it until i get my salary then i will pick the game.
From character design, i didn't see any appeal from Rango but... the gameplay looked similar as Ratchet & Clank with Cowboy style. I saw some appeal from the gameplay style and the environments.
I have opened my heart to deal with some new things as long they are still tolerable for me and i have discovered some hidden gems from PS3 games. Of course the games for kids.
@Anti-Matter Sure it might have had some R&C themes in it, Scaler in my opinion was great because it had that, on top of the transformations, Changing the gameplay a lot!
Blinx wasn't supposed to be anything like R&C, I can sort of see where you getting the comparison, but from my memory, (Because I haven't watched anything about this game in a long, long time) is that is had luigi's mansion gameplay, with a time Travel placed on top of it, the only real luigi's mansion thing about it being the vacuum clock he's using.
Part 2 took this a step further, with added playable characters, and a matrix like time stop mechanic to it. god I wish they would port those games.

Question for all of you, guys.
What obscure / unpopular games you have ever played ?
The games are only you know and like better but almost nobody ever knew or have interest about your unpopular games. Even i might never heard before.
Obscure, Twinkle Star Sprites on Neo-Geo. I don't own a Neo-Geo, but have the officially emulated version SNK released on PC. I remember seeing this cute looking game while browsing GOG, next thing I knew, I bought it. Love this game, it's adorable, but a really, really fun shmup with a vs. puzzle element.
Unpopular, most cartoon tie-in games. I tend to play these because I like said cartoon game is based on. More recently, I play the ones on mobile are based on cartoons I like (except Minion Rush, not big on Minions, but I still like the game regardless). I still wish they were on console or PC since games can be discontinued and unplayable on mobile (looks at you Trolls Pop). Will add, I did enjoy Frozen Olaf's Quest because I like cartoon tie-in games, and I like Frozen.
