What are some games you own, or have enjoyed this generation that none of your friends have even heard of?

For me, it's been Mushroom Men

and Order Up! 

They're not for everyone, which is probably why they're obscure, but I've enjoyed them a lot.

Naruto Ultimate ninja storm.

Maybe... Earth Defense Force 2017?

is that fryfat i see posting? :o

All the obscure games are exclusives so far

Chronos Twin: One Hero in Two Times for the Nintendo DS

Excellent platformer only released in PAL regions and is really under the radar. The graphics are nothing to brag about, but the game is exceptionally well done and difficult to boot. Basically you simultaneously control one character moving on both screens. Each can affect the other. If one has a lava pit over him that is too far to jump across, you may realize the other character has a platform he can jump to on his screen. The character over the lava pit will then be suspended above because the other character on the other screen is standing on a platform. Confusng huh? Here's a gameplay video:

The same developer went on to make Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ, which is another fantastic game that went way under the radar. I recommend both very highly.

That game actually came out?  Damn!  I remember watching the trailers ages ago and thinking how awesome it looked.  I thought it had disappeared.

Not all the obscure games are actually all that obscure. Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm? 670,000 owners say hello.

It's impossible to find I think by any conventional means, especially if you live in America. We have it tracked for 10K. I would go the alternate route in obtaining it if possible, unless you can find a retailer that has it.
