dmjohn0x Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) I've only recently gotten into the world of obscure indie games and fan games and I've run into a few with super high quality that im glad to have on my Launchbox build to show friends. I was hoping you guys could help me find some more. Currently, im quite fond of: Psycho waluigi (http://mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb¶m=02&c=2&id=25698), AM2R (https://archive.org/search?query=am2r), Barkley Shut up and Jam Gaiden (https://www.talesofgames.com/related_game/barkley-shut-up-jam-gaiden/)((https://archive.org/details/Barkley_Shut_Up_and_Jam_Gaiden)), Ghosts'n Demons (https://bonusjz.itch.io/ghostsn-demons), Toadette Strikes Back, (http://www.mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb¶m=02&c=2&id=12431), and Pokemon Type Wild (http://oneweakness.com/pokemon-type-wild.html)((https://archive.org/details/pokemontypewild)), Ragnarok Battle Offline (https://archive.org/details/Ragnarok_Battle_Offline) Mega Man: Day in the Limelight Trilogy (https://fusion-fangaming.itch.io/mega-man-day-in-the-limelight) Super Smash Bros. Crusade (https://smash-crusade.itch.io/crusade) Cant wait to pick your brains for more unique stuff to play!

dmjohn0x Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Oh, and I shouldn't forget the new Megaman 2.5d (http://petersjostrand.com/) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Streets of Rage Remake is, to me at least, the gold standard of fangames, and well worth checking out: Cannonball is not "technically" a fangame, but it's a reverse-engineered, ported, and vastly upgraded version of OutRun: Super Mario Bros. X was basically Mario Maker before Mario Maker was a thing: Power Bomberman is...ridiculous. It's up to 12 player Bomberman, and just an absurd amount of content: DoomRL takes the crazy idea of mixing DOOM with a RogueLike to it's beautiful conclusion: Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch is...exactly what it sounds like. Take a look: If you're looking for a more traditional Mega Man game, I've got you covered with Mega Man Unlimited: What's that? You like a different blue action hero? Alright, well here's Sonic After the Sequel to blow your mind: (Sonic Before the Sequel is also worth checking out) Those are the big ones that come to mind. I'm sure I'm missing a few, but such is life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gam3rz3r0 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Psycho Waluigi and Toadette Strikes Back look top notch. This one isn't out yet but I think any Mega Man X fan owes it to them self to keep up with Mega Man X corrupted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjohn0x Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Keep it up guys. A lot of good things up here. Sonic AtS and MMX:Corrupted look primo. Whereas DoomRL looks like something that wouldnt work with my arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjohn0x Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Found this today: Hydorah, a free fast pased indie shmup for windows.(https://www.locomalito.com/hydorah.php) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gam3rz3r0 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'd say Bunny Must Die is obscure but apparently (had no idea) it's on steam now. Its a pretty neat Metroidvania.Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added this to my wishlist. looks like a 90s crazy japanese platformer, which is totally my style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gam3rz3r0 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Well you're in luck because I remembered another one MegaMari – Marisa no Yabou. Blatant Mega Man clone for sure but you can easily find it with google. English patch available too I believe.Edit... I think you need a 3rd party app to use a controller on this one.Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gam3rz3r0 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 While these dont have the Polish of the other games there still pretty neat. These are all Touhou games I think Super Marisa Land New Super Marisa Land PatchCon: Defend the Library Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjohn0x Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Got a few more. Though these arent all free... and some of these wont seem obscure to many, but for those who don't keep up with the indie scene, they will be pleasant surprises. These are all games you can play with a controller. 99Vidas (http://store.steampowered.com/app/557040/) Axiom Verge (http://www.axiomverge.com/) SongBringer(http://songbringer.com/) 20XX(http://store.steampowered.com/app/322110/) OwlBoy (http://store.steampowered.com/app/115800/) Super Smash Brothers Crusade(http://projectcrusade.forumotion.com/t3321-ssbc-0-9-0-release-update-released) Mario Kingdom Fusion (http://www.fusiongameworks.net/smf/index.php/topic,673.0.html) Freedom Planet(http://freedomplanet.galaxytrail.com/) Double Dragon IV(http://freedomplanet.galaxytrail.com/) Cave Story (http://www.cavestory.org/) Hyper Light Drifter(http://store.steampowered.com/app/257850/) Stardew Valley (http://store.steampowered.com/app/413150/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowdragon Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 @dmjohn0x Yeah, Stardew Valley sucked me in for a hundred hours or so . I'd recommend "Hero's Never Lose" http://store.steampowered.com/app/342530 it's a retro inspired dr.Mario,Tetris with slightly altered rules. It's made by a Canadian guy part time, but love the retro feel and even has some good 8 bit streetfighter esque look to it. My wife and I have fun playing it on occasion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjohn0x Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Anyone got something new? Im itching for some more obscure indie/fangames. Latest game ive enjoyed was Iconoclasts (http://store.steampowered.com/app/393520/Iconoclasts/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleu_Skie Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Really cool games here I'll have to check out. I dont have much to add, but Windowframe has a neat concept and The Sexy Brutale was a fun little murder mystery game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Does anyone have the walk/run working in super smash bros. crusade? no matter what options I turn on for the feature, I'm always walking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried mapping walk to d-pad left right, analog left right, and nothing. No matter what i map the walk to none of the options (2tap2run,hold2run, etc.) work. It's always on walk.

Walk is a button you have to hold while pressing a direction. I imagine you cant set walk to a directional button. I think I had mine on R2 on my wii u pro controller and pressed/held it while moving. Try adding "walk" to a different button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Ohhhh that makes sense. Do you know what it was on the original game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleu_Skie Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 No idea, I just downloaded/tried it to answer your question lol. I'm sure you could look at a faq for your smash game of choice on gamefaqs. They usually have controls listed at the top. I haven't really played smash since the n64 days tbh. Double taps to run usually feels right to me in fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
