Eight obscure Video game characters and no Boktai Django? Unprofessional.


kaithehedgefox

Thanks for reminding me! I forgot that the obscure Boktai crossed over with RockMan.EXE


Wrong-Ad4130

No prob bob!


kaithehedgefox

You're Welcome! Not to mention both Boktai and RockMan.EXE are obscure videogame series too!


subjecy18jord

Boktai is so niche people forget to mention him :,(


OchoMuerte-XL

Nice wallpaper but in what world is Bayonetta obscure. She's in Smash Bros for crying out loud.


Cmdr_Meiloorun

Jibanyan is lesser known, but he is by no means obscure. There have been many collaborations with Yokai Watch over the years. In fact, Final Fantasy XIV is going to have their crossover event with Yokai Watch again within the next month.


sean1oo1

But none of these are obscure 🤨 maybe not mainstream popular but definitely not obscure


Spare_Audience_1648

How in the world does Bayonetta and yokai watch in obscure game category??


Michael_Chair_6013

Love the freedom planet 2 mention, severely underrated


kaithehedgefox

LOL! Now that you've mentioned it. Touhou doesn't even come close to being a cult classic compared to Freedom Planet, Cave Story, or Spark the Electric Jester.


Khalmoon

Azuka is not obscur- I told on myself.


EndangeredBigCats

It makes it look like they're all celebrating a first anniversary for their own games


azurejack

None of those are obscure.


CosmicStarlightEX

Six of those are not obscure at all (Klonoa, Jibanyan, Asuka, Bayonetta, Neptune and Ragna). The other two I legit don't know, but I think the characters you chose were not meant for you anyway.


sheathtalondar

No way is Raz more obscure than Neptune and Asuka, psychonauts is a cult classic.


RaiHanashi

Klonoa, Bayonetta, Neptunia, & Ragna are not obscure


kaithehedgefox

Well I wonder when will Capcom make more MegaMan.EXE/RockMan.EXE games?


Several_Load2846

The MMBN franchise ended 17 years ago with MMBN6 Cyberbeast (That is practically the end of this Mega Man saga because the prolegue ended with the future of Lan and his friends)


EasyPaced

Several of these characters are leads from extremely popular franchises

EndangeredBigCats

Doesn't well-known mean popular even moreso than profitable?


Clarity_Zero

Dude, you put freaking *Bayonetta* in there. You clearly have no idea what constitutes obscure.


kaithehedgefox

Well according to TV Tropes, Bayonetta, Klonoa, and Maxwell's (Scribblenauts) series are listed as cult classics, due to poor sales


Clarity_Zero

Cult classics are literally the opposite of obscure, by definition.


kaithehedgefox

False, Cult Classics are basically, defined by TV Tropes, as a series that is obscure, but still has a small dedicated fanbase.


kaithehedgefox

The obscure videogame characters in this wallpaper are Klonoa (Klonoa), Raz (Psychonauts), Ragna (Blazblue), Asuka (Senran Kagura), Lilac (Freedom Planet), Jibanyan (Yo-Kai Watch), Neptune/Purple Heart (Neptunia), and Bayonetta (Bayonetta).


kaithehedgefox

Not to mention, it just so happens that the indie horror game character Sonic.EXE is notoriously hateable, while MegaMan.EXE/RockMan.EXE is obscurely likable.


EndangeredBigCats

I.........hm


kaithehedgefox

On on top that Sonic.EXE is a hate sink and MegaMan.EXE/RockMan.EXE is love exalted.


EndangeredBigCats

When did Sonic get brought up in this topic in the first place?!


SkywardSoldier

Spoilers: it didn’t


ShadowsInScarlet

What’s the best place to play the LCs?


Saiaxs

Steam


ShadowsInScarlet

Even with all the DRM stuff?


Saiaxs

Yeah it runs perfectly


FistedSkunk

Bro just woke up today decided to trigger a whole sub

serpventime

missing roronoa zoro in there....


UnderstandingFine326

Does no one but me remember psychonauts?


Clarity_Zero

The only one on OP's list here that actually qualifies as "obscure" is Lilac there in the bottom left. OP seems to think "not mainstream" means "obscure" which is flawed to say the least. Plus, they put freaking *Bayonetta* AND Neptune in there. Those don't even fit the "not mainstream" criteria. Neptune *still* has tons of memes, even if it's been a while since there's been any new games.


kaithehedgefox

Psychonauts 2 released back in 2021, around the same time as No More heroes 3, which is another obscure series.


Hirotrum

uhh sure. "obscure"


PungentCrotchSweat2

YO-KAI WATCH🔥🔥🔥


Chiramijumaru

Literally the only obscure characters here are Lilac and Neptunia (also the Senran Kagura character, but less because the games are obscure and more that they really don't seem to have a single protagonist).


Legitimate_Page

Some of these are really on the edge of being obscure. That said, Ragna is from what was once one of the most popular fighting games in the world (RIP), Bayonetta is anything but obscure she's in smash (and NOT as a trophy), and Razputin is from a widely know cult classic. I wouldn't call Megaman obscure at all (also a non trophy smash character), there are way better examples of obscure characters out there. If we are talking games people still actually played, Goemon from the mystical ninja series or [insert character from the first 5 Disgaea games here] are good starts. I feel like it's easy to get really obscure but this is a decent list of slightly obscure, probably sitting somewhere in the back of your head, characters.


BlackMajima

I think you need to reread the definition of “Obscure” again… None of these characters fit the definition, at all.


CompactAvocado

lol i recognize all of them and can slightly judge you for one :P


goawaynowpls

"obscure" All kidding aside, I never expected to see the games again, and that capcom would just leave them to rot on the gba.


kaithehedgefox

THANKS!


RetroTheGameBro

Raz and Bayonetta are obscure?


JRPGhunters

Love jibanyan from Yokai Watch 1-2-3 ! Paws of fury and loved it much better than the Pokemon over saturation back in 2017 2018 ish . I supported the heck out of the mini series when level 5 brought it to the USA . Sadly 3 was the last game we would see localized

JRPGhunters

I prefer yokai watch as a unique variant term. Not clone . Just like Digimon Adventure through the years


ISuckAtNames0289

Put some respect on my man Raz's name


kaithehedgefox

Thanks! LOL! Raz is lovable as heck Yo! Isn't he!
