Hint: The Kirby's Epic Yarn narrator voices one of the villains. That seriously narrows it down.

If you've played Kirby, sure. That clue is useless to me!

Looking up voice actors could do the trick, but I'll provide another hint: The Japanese commercial advertised how emotionally devastating it is to lose one of your units, because once he/she is killed in this war game, it's permanent!

As an American, I totally watch Japanese ads and products. I'll get right on figuring out this hint, that as an American I surely know the answer to!

One of the main characters is named Ike, lol.

South Park The Stick of Truth

Not quite. This game released stateside in 2007.

This made me immediately think of Fire Emblem. Since you said Ike was in it and released in 2007 it must be Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Very, very close! It’s the other one.

It was Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn? I thought that was released stateside in 2008?

Path of Radiance was definitely released before 2007. Nintendo moved first party titles over to Wii at that point. The Radiant games are the only FE games released in the west that I still haven't played.

Radiant Dawn was released Nov 2007 in the US, according to Wikipedia.

Kid Icarus?

actraiser?

Altered Beast?

No. A small clue, its a indie game released in 2021

Here is a frame with the main character and some enemies. Note those boots are an upgrade.

I'll just post an image Google will find now. Can't believe I stumped everyone twice in a row

Roar of Revenge

An obscure indie game is very likely to stump

That game does look intriguing. Although, I think they may have leaned a bit too much into making it feel like an old 8-bit game. I get the impression that the controls are a bit clunky, and the difficulty looks to be a bit on the frustrating side. That's just how it appears from quickly skimming a gameplay video though, can't say for sure without playing it myself.

Here's a funny one:

I wouldn't say this game is obscure, but I don't think it was heavily played, so I'll be quick to give some hints if no one is getting it.

Mothmen 1966? Probably not but kinda reminds me of it

Nope

I'll go ahead and give one hint, that screenshot is from an opening cutscene.

Its not that bad once you get a few upgrades. You get boots and magic in the first 10 minutes, and if you play on easy then every new screen you get your health refilled. So its pretty forgiving and I thought it was fun. Well worth the $2 I paid.

Little Nemo’s Adventures in Slumberland?

Nope

Hint: It's a GBC game.

Blaster Master: Enemy Below

Someone else can go.

Hint: It's a GBC demake of an SNES game.

Donkey Kong Country?

Gravity Rush?

That's not Gravity Rush. I don't know what it is, but I do know what Gravity Rush looks like.
