That game where you play as an Italian plumber tripping on shrooms and murdering wildlife
Related, the SNES "sequel" (by Wisdom Tree, not Konami): Super 3D Noah's Ark is a straightforward Wolfenstein 3D re-skin. Even the level layouts remain unchanged.

Damm! Takeshi was young at some point in time? O-o fuck me!Ctrl + F "Takeshi's Challenge"
That.
The karaoke part or whatever looks annoying as hell.
Ok, somebody educate me here.the box art was always lols worthy
why is the alphabet printed out on the cover?

There's a sadistically hard, sort of remake of the Takeshi Kitano game called "Challenge from Kiyoshi". It's a little, free indie game for the PC released not too long ago.
Parodius Da! A spoof on Salamander/Life Force which got released for the NES, and later on SNES in Japanese and English, which I think is a remake...

And Mouryou Senki Madara certainly has a memorable introduction
Off topic, but what is that music in the "intro" of the video? Incredibly familiar for some reason.

Just the first level, but it was enough for me.

Loved this game. One of the first games I ever remember beating. Nothing like a boss made of fried food, an already dead spider, and a zombie drummer.
God, Monster Party. It starts off kind of cute with happy faces everywhere but still a bit off with the legs sticking out of the ground and stuff. Then the trees and stuff start to bleed.
It's like the NES version of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.

Rösti;35821950 said:How about Baby Boomer, an unlicensed game by the company Color Dreams, Inc., known for other classics such as Bible Adventures and Sunday Funday, as seen reviewed by James Rolfe.
The game utilizes the NES Zapper which you use to protect stray baby Boomer from hazards like cats and dynamite. The goal is to get the baby back to his mother.

Came to post this. I owned it and always enjoyed it. The later levels get even more crazy.

:lol I searched for this too because I remember the Game Center CX episode where Arino plays it.
There is a level where the controls are reversed because you're on the ceiling or something, too.

Because it's concept is so fun and because some of the ingame stuff is a little strange :
Yume Penguin Monogatari
Amazing box art too :

I love this game. Pan Mam Airline stock is the key to success!
sigh, if only more box art was as good as Yume Penguin Monogatari
anyway, more Famicom weirdness

The controls were reversed in the episode because Inoko MAX turned the monitor upside down to counteract the character being on the roof.

Oh damn, I don't think I got that far.
Tempted to plug my Wii back in and play some now, haha. In case anyone doesn't know, it's available on the Wii VC.
something annoyed me about this game, when I saw it in stores.
It was the only white box, with random moronic faces from individuals who clearly weren't gamers and didn't know how to hold a freaking NES controller in their hands.
since I was a addicted to NES games, my first though was... "Maybe it's a sign I should buy it" -_-
oh yeh i forgot to mention the Nazoler Land games.
these were a series of 3 Famicom Disk games that were released by Sunsoft, and they were supposed to be like a magazine - released on a semi-regular basis, containing several smaller mini-games. i've always loved the idea of this, i guess Guild 01 for the 3DS is kind of a modern day attempt at this? anyway more information here http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Nazoler_Land_Soukan_Gou

That's based on an old Japanese story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momotarō
Yup, this is what I came to post... this is THE place to go for in-depth looks at obscure and bizarre games.

This. What an awesome and unappreciated game. This is a game that can translate very well today into a full blown 3D adventure game. Swallowing a pill and turning into a monster dragon was very weird and the trippy enemies like a Shrimp and Onion Ring boss are some of the most strange enemies in gaming history.
Ahah good ones everywhere, well done!
Not bizarre but earlier this week I saw in an old games store a NES game in perfect condition, too bad I forgot the name, but the box mainly in red color had a man with a blaster firing at a t-rex with some robots parts. i was like "woo, this game have evreything!". Dinosaurs in space and robots. Merely a meme.

I miss these days of gaming where a developer would just throw a random idea like "Baby fighting fruit with fireballs" and just go balls out with it. I have said this many times before but story really limits games in many ways. We just don't see crazy trippy ideas like that anymore.
Indeed, except Miyamoto. Pikmin world is pretty fun. I love the strange lifeforms who lives in there. I'm talking about Olimar or the pikmins, but some of the bestiary.

Weird puzzle game by Game Freak before they made Pokemon.
It actually looks pretty fun to play, there's a short Let's Play I watched that seemed enjoyable.
