It's not the first one

Breath of Fire II!

I knew it was one of them, just wasn't sure which.

Yes, it's two!

Downwell?

no

I feel like this one is going to be hard so I'll go ahead and give a clue. It's kind of an obscure moment from a very popular retro game.

Zelda

Nope, none of them.

Kommie wrote:

I have it on good faith from the person who took the screenshot

very good faith

that it's Breath of Fire 1 (SNES). So @Scott gets two points, one for believing this guy and one for his initial correct answer. Carry on

Scott wrote:

It sorta looks like Prince of Persia but I don't recognize the trees. The trees sorta look like King's Quest 6! I'm not double guessing, I'm actually not guessing.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? Starting Jake Gyllenhaal.

lol

DarkFact wrote:

Lies

Castlevania?

nope

Give a [better] hint!

I don't even know if he actually means "retro" or really means "vintage", so we definitely need a better hint.

Both terms are subjective anyway.

Better hint: The scene shown in the screenshot takes place in a dream.

Could we at least get the system? Is it PS1?

SNES

This better not be a spoiler for Final Fantasy VI...

Legally you can?t call spoilers on FF6, it?s fudging thirty years old. Go play it already

SupremeSarna wrote:

It's definitely a spoiler for whatever game that is. So much happening in that screenshot.

Secret of Mana?

It's one of Shadow's dreams in FFVI so I guess Sarna got it. Don't worry, it wasn't a spoiler.

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3?

Warioware microgame$?

Scott wrote:

I looked at a video of Shadow's dreams on YouTube because that's what I was thinking. But I still couldn't really tell.

My favorite character in the game, btw. Mog was the other.

BloodPuppetX wrote:

It's the very beginning of the train robbery dream. Shadow was one of my favorites too. Definitely my favorite theme!

@scott @DarkFact No and no. This is a hidden room in a famous 2D platformer.

Super Mario Land 2?

Given the checkerboard pattern and monochrome greyscale, I'm going with Kirby's Dream Land 2 (Game Boy).

Definitely looks like a Kirby game.

That is a fun one!

Missile Command knockoff from the same retro (used correctly) compilation for the third time? I'm too lazy to look up, so consider that an assist.

Third time's the charm! You're up, @Yoshi.

Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure

Damn. Well done!

Legends of Runeterra

This isn’t fair, you’re doxxxing me as a Grixis scrub

DarkFact wrote:

Wrong!

Magic: The Gathering Arena

Scott wrote:

Correct!

Hearthstone Clone would have been an acceptable answer too.

Sorta looks like an MGS3 shot

Tis not.

Rambo?

No

Is that an entry in the Medal of Honor series?

Silent Hill?

This better not be a spoiler for Resident Evil 4...

No, no, and no.

Hint time: this game is available on Wii.

Twilight Princess

Nope

Resident Evil 4

Nope, but it is a shooter of sorts.

Black Ops III?

No

Call of Duty Battlefield? (Cannot think of which one, they all blend together...)

Half Life?

Apparently there's more than one boat on the Wii. Let's get some clues

It's a rail shooter.

House of the Dead: Overkill

No.

It was originally an arcade game (not sure how much that narrows it down lol)

I hope y'all don't ghost me after this one.

Ghost Squad

Someone else can go.

I expect this one to be somewhat tough, so here’s a hint: The game is infamous, but not this version of it.
[imgt]https://i.imgur.io/OGTkpxa_d.webp?maxwidth=640&sha...[/imgt]

It was very easy to Google that one. I won't spoil it, we'll see if someone can guess it instead.

Scott wrote:
Paste-the-image Google? Or look-up-keywords-to-find-a-match Google?

Heard this version of the game’s good, actually.

SupremeSarna wrote:

Looked up keywords.

It's the cancelled Sweet Home prototype that was ported to the .

It wasn’t made by Cesar Romero…

Daikatana

Yoshi wrote:
Yup. Wish I could find this one, but it's PAL-exclusive and very expensive.

Star Parodier

Bingo

LIGHTLY NSFW (it's art man)

Gibbous?

Nope. Was originally an exclusive on a Nintendo console that moved over to PS2 eventually

DarkFact wrote:

Based on that hint along with the cell-shaded nature of the screenshot, I'm going with Killer 7 (GameCube).

Noid wrote:

So close! A guess this close, you should really try again. As another hint, I would NOT have assumed this game would have that naughty element in it

Was this recently a correct answer in the cover topic?

Viewtiful Joe! I think?

I do believe it was.

Yeah, that has to be it.

Those skulls look bizarrely familiar.

I don’t recall platforming in Dragon’s Crown, but the art style seems close.

It's a game released in the past 5 years. Can't say it's super popular. Linear Action-platformer. Lots of the negative Steam reviews are from people who played for a half hour and deemed it "too hard/unfair". Developed by two people.

Now you have my attention. Sadly, it's very possible I own it or have it on my wish list but don't recognize it.

Is it Blasphemous

DarkFact wrote:

No. Blasphemous is not a linear action platformer.

Part of the title is "Primal"

Kommie wrote:
Primal Light.

SupremeSarna wrote:

Yup, not sure if anyone would have got it otherwise.

I just beat it today.... Last boss was pretty annoying.

Easy one:

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minion, That is the Minion Quest pictured

WithinTemptation wrote:
Yep!

Another clue

I don't know what it is, but now I'm interested.

Best1989 wrote:

Its kinda fun for a while, but gets repetitive. You just use up, down, left, right to move all the pieces on the grid and combine them to make them more powerful before collecting them. The only catch is when an enemy is also on the grid they can also collect the items. So it can be pretty tricky and easy to get yourself in trouble. You are only allowed to combine items during the day and then collect them at night. You need to get to level 6 on each level to be able to take on the final boss for that level.

If none of this gets someone to guess it I'll post an image that google will find.

What platform is it on? Steam, PS4, Xbox 1, Switch?

SupremeSarna wrote:

PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X and Series S

Since nobody has guessed I guess I finally found a game to stump everyone. Here is the full image, only difference is google will find the game. Its basically the same image from the previous two so it wouldn't help you guess the game.

Plant ...zombie 3.

Bone Marrow, confirmed by Google.

This one’s slightly relevant right now.

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!

Kommie wrote:

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.

SupremeSarna wrote:

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.

WithinTemptation wrote:

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:

image

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.

Scott wrote:

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.

Negatory!

ZX Spectrum games are hard to search. Did this actually release, or are you making good on your joke?

I am making good on the joke. It's based on a fictional music group.

Hint: It’s a “best of” compilation for the 3DS. (Though it needs more shrimp and tap dancers to be properly represent the Wii game, IMO.)

It was a 3DS eShop-exclusive in North America.

The title kinda sounds like “Schism Kevin.”

OK, Google says Rhythm Heaven

@WithinTemptation It's Rhythm Heaven Megamix, so go on to get this back on track.

Nope. This is a background detail from a game, and unquestionably the best one. The game had a running theme of referencing the plumber with random background art, and this Dark Moon homage was pretty unexpected at the time.

Random background pictures now, we've peaked.

Posting chunks of background is nothing new to this thread—it’s been happening for months. Why bring it up now?

Mostly cause you tend to post some randomly obscure crap that no one would normally get and the thread stalls for days. Or unreleased games, etc

That’s not me-exclusive, though. One of the very first posts here (before I started participating) was a Japan-exclusive, obscure DS game someone was interested in, and plenty of oddities have been posted since then by others. Need I bring up the “Shadow dream” someone posted that was basically a black screen with pixelated gray shapes on it?

The thread also stalls a lot because people will get the right answer and not post for days on end.

If I posted a Shadow Dream thing, I have no idea what you're referring to

No and no. As a special hint, its box is a completely unique color. It really stands out in a Wii U collection.
