Some Crazy Quirky games for Wii/PS3?

[EvilBoris]

I bought Katamari for the 360 the other day and it reminded me how amazingly weird some Japanese games are and how I haven't seen that many this generation.
Can anybody recommend anything for my US Wii or my PS3?

I highly recommend Folklore for the PS3, one of the most overlooked games on the console. Also Folklore probably has the best use of the sixaxis motion controls in a PS3 game by far (not hard though I suppose). The duel story puts some people off but I thought it was implemented quite well.

Sounds good, I've not read anything about it but someone did tell me it sounded original

IGN raved about the game in their review - http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/824/824614p1.html

Go! Go! Minion (Wii) is quite wacky if you've got a freeloader.

Dark Mist on the PS3 PSN is worth a punt at a fiver, cracking little game like an updated Atic Atac. It's by the same people as Folklore funnily enough.

So Dark Mist is good? Problem with PSN is the lack of demos for the PSN titles. Japan Studio also have some weird looking game based on Google Maps for top down locations coming out, where you have to collect people, and escort them to the designated "safe area" of the map avoiding hordes of zombies.

Is that the Last Guy thingy?

[MikeRox]

aye, looked like it could be good fun from the preview vids.

amazingly weird Japanese games ... US Wii

There's a problem right there.

I'm tempted by the animal photography game charlesr has been pushing recently. Go! Go! Minon is fun until you get stuck, then you might as well bin it. There's no much replay value in my opinion.

Boku no Natsuyasumi 3.

The sort of stuff that oozes charm and character and is simply a pleasure to play.

Definitely the sort of game that would never get a look in over here.

[pimp]It's Afrika, but on the Wii and already out[/pimp] (no exaggeration - it's pretty much the SAME thing)

Another vote for Folklore here, a real overlooked gem.

Pixeljunk Monsters (And Eden, coming soon) are worth a look, and I personally really enjoyed Flow, for what it was. Everyday Shooter... the JPN PSN gardening game (Whose name completely escapes me, despite me starting the thread about it), LocoRoco (Another under appreciated gem!) and finally Super Rub 'a' Dub - which got caned at release but I personally enjoyed.

Always been intersted in the Boku no Natsuyasumi series. Is it necessary to know Japanese to play it though.
