Hey all, I'm looking into playing through a lot of the weirdest Japanese games that are playable on American consoles. If it's a weird game released only in Japan, but I can play it on my American DS or PS3, that's fine.
Now, do we really have to bring this up? CNN already took this rape simulator game and used it in their attempts to bash the anime industry and Japan over it last year. We do not need this game to rear it's ugly head again in public. Besides, what kind of sick person plays rape simulators?
What is it that makes people (Especially kids o.o) mention that "game" over and over again? Nothing fucking happens, you do nothing, see nothing and you don't even get busted by Chris Hansen.
I even remember some people being disgusted by that thing, why is that exactly? Is it the bodies rubbing up against nothing. Unless of course the air between your dudes body and his "victims" body counts as "something"

I mentioned it because it belongs in the list of weird Japanese games in America. Quit your bitching.
A lot of these are great suggestions guys, thanks. Keep 'em coming! Chibi-Robo and Mister Mosquito seem pretty odd, but I'd be cool with seeing more games like Disaster Report too. They can be outwardly weird like these cartoony games, or just bizarre like Deadly Premonition.

Except it was never released in America, so it doesn't belong here. Incredible Crisis is a good one that was mentioned.
@Daroki: To be fair, I did say as long as they're playable in America, it didn't matter if they weren't released here. As long as I don't have to mod my system or buy a Japanese console, that's fine. I don't know if I'll play RapeLay, but it seems to fit my criteria.

Couldn't possibly have anything to do with your primary task in the game is raping people, could it?
No, perish the thought. We're all just a bunch of prudes for thinking a game about raping women is fucked up.
@Wrighteous86: I was just reminded of this game I own for the DS called Knights in the Nightmare. It's not really quirky or funny so much as it is an insane concept for a game. If I had to try and describe it, I would say that it's a grid-based, real time JRPG where the combat is all done by avoiding various projectiles on the screen with the stylus and touch screen (the way you would in a top-down shooter). It's fairly unique as far as I know.

Clearly you haven't even seen anything remotely related to the game. That might be what the game should have been about but again, nothing fucking happens, like, at all.
Unless, again, rape = people rubbing up against air.
Yakuza 3 isn't so very weird as just it's incredibly Japanese. Plus there are some hilarious moments in there, especially with how Kazuma discovers new techniques through the world.
" Michigan: Report From Hell, Ghost Trick, Fatal Frame series, and 999 seem to fit the bill. "
damn it, I was going to mention Michigan. Bought the PAL version a long time ago and never gained a way to play it. Ryan said he was going to do a quicklook a long time ago but never did.

Well I'm sorry that a game about rape didn't feature enough rape for you to get off to. For the rest of us, we find the intent disturbing enough. It doesn't matter how "well done" the raping women part of the game was. It's the fact that this game was made to exploit victims of a terrible incident for a couple of dollars. It's not like RapeLay featured some interesting cultural insight or had something to say about the topic of rape. This was a game (however shoddy it may be, according to you) about raping women for no reason other than to get the player off.
RapeLay is a game where you play a rapist who prowls around raping a family of women.
If you don't see what is fundamentally wrong with that synopsis, then we're done here. You're a fucked up human being.
" Michigan: Report From Hell, Ghost Trick, Fatal Frame series, and 999 seem to fit the bill. "
I was interested in MIchigan before it came out, but isn't it only out in Europe and Japan on PS2? So wouldn't I need to mod my PS2 or get a PAL PS2 to play it?

After looking into the game, you also wind up impregnating the girl of your choice, and it either ends with her suicide or with her throwing you in front of a train. Classy stuff.
I checked my GameCube's memory card yesterday to find that my Cubivore save file was last accessed in 2005. I remember buying the game used from GameStop for close to fifty dollars, and then returning it immediately because I played through the entire game in almost one sitting.
I regret returning Cubivore to this very day, as it is very difficult to find online for a reasonable price, and impossible to find in any store.
@Wrighteous86: Another game I can recommend is Chibi-Robo, as I finally ordered it, cheap from GameStop, and am finding it to be pretty cute and entertaining. Music plays when you scrub puppy prints off of the floor with a toothbrush. :3

Isn't it either her stabbing you or her throwing you in front of a train? The only thing about that game that actually caught my interest was the only way to end the game was for the player to die.

You and me both.
Chibi-Robo is also adorably insane and its much more "playable" than either of the other games I recommended.
" Play LSD. i'm not sure if its on american psn though. "
According to Wikipedia, it's only Japan. That sucks, sounds insane.

You might be right. The description of the game really creeped me out, so I didn't look to closely at it and I don't want to go back to check.
@Wrighteous86: I played the game out of a morbid sense of curiosity when it was banned on Amazon and both KingWilly and ZeForgotten's criticisms of it are correct. The base goal of the game, rape, is absurd and offensive. But the actual game itself is so poorly made that I had a hard time being offended by the actual "gameplay" because it was such an absurd piece of crap.
