Forgotten Video Game Characters.

[psychospacecow]

hey, why is nobody mentioning little eddy from rabbit on sega saturn. the best dang character ever made.



he's like kim jong un before anyone ever knew him. adult baby by day, elvis impersonator by night. he also has the ability to summon a boar spirit.

wait how do more people not know about rabbit. it's literally jojo's bizarre adventure but "bizarre" actually taken literally, where people have stands based on chinese mythology, but they look so hilariously awkward. Eddy has a boar, and other characters have like a tex avery wolf and a big stupid ox. I think you can even take their stands and use them in later matches, too

it's made by a company called "Aorn" which is literally a startup company that existed only to put out this game. EA (yes, Electronic Arts, THAT EA) pretty much 100% funded Aorn so it's like they pretty much sprung up the company JUST so they could release games in Japan


wait seriously no one knows about Rabbit? Oh yeah, because it's an extremely obscure game for the Sega Saturn, making it doubly obscure

Yeah, but I wasn't trying to reach out there for anything particularly obscure. I'm just saying that its gonna happen regardless.

ye but the post came off as "all obscure stuff is meant to be forgotten, so let me just shut down the conversation right here with this fat statement" which is....eh you could've danced around it a bit instead of nearly shooting down the poor guy's topic

I sit in that generation that doesn't know Mega Man. Many don't know Crash Bandicoot.

good lord ur generation is stupid
good thing the massively popular candy crush will live on forever and reduce mario to a low-quality indie platformer on android someday LOL

Didn't mean to come off like that. I was trying to say it could really be anything. Course, I write stuff like that when I'm more tired than not so I can't say I'm surprised.

I dunno, dude... you're 19. I've got friends in your age group, I see my siblings' friends. They all know about Mega Man and Crash... They have for a while. You're also right on the tail end of MMX and the beginnings of Legends, MMZ and MMZX... and for Crash, he didn't really go away until the current generation.

Characters like Ty, I can see your generation not readily recognizing. Glover, Croc...

Anyway, my favorite forgotten retro character is Dino Riki from the NES title of the same name. He's pretty high up on my "If I could revive" fantasy list.

Now that I think about it actually, there is a pretty decent reason why I know about a lot of these guys that people I went to school with didn't, but that's a bit personal.

I think I'll go with Razzly from Chrono Cross.
