Description
After doing numerous showcases that were inspired by KingZanderSanchez-i , I decided to take a different route. Game Cases are like Show-cases, but instead of cartoons, shows, or anything in media, it's more specific to video games, whether notable or if you just forgot! Developmental problems aside, I think it's a good idea. Either way, I made this first one, so let's get this show on the road!

#6 - The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction - Some fellas have bad days. Others have really stressful ones and those are the ones that just want to watch the world burn in a gamma-radiation explosion. Now, I'm not usually fond of Marvel Comics ever since they got bought by Disney, but this is one of those exceptions before the big purchase. For those that combine both elements, The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is just the game for you! In it, you play as everyone's favorite gamma-powered buff guy himself, Bruce Banner. Imagine all the unnecessary smashing you have to do in any open world game that doesn't apply to any other game, but what actually you're supposed to do! This is for anyone who can really hulk out or blow off steam in beast-mode, but don't wanna rage quit by breaking stuff. It's like Katamari in that way. Another neat detail is that the developers of this game afterwards went to make the Destroy All Humans series as well as the Xbox 360 game Prototype. Despite being held back by a brand name, Ultimate Destruction got a 4 out of 5 overall! (Systems: Xbox, GameCube, PS2)

#5 - Code of Princess - Technically, this game is part Action RPG part JRPG. And if anything JRPGs have taught us, if there's a female character with armor, the armor the girl is wearing, despite showing partial nudity, but not flaunting mainly nude, somehow is a more effective armor. I don't know what kind of Kill La Kill-esque physics are involved in it, but it's true! However, this is part JRPG part beat-em-up, which is an interesting combination! In this game, peace has ended across the kingdom, and only Solange Blanchefleur de Lux, the princess of DeLuxia, is the last hope. Rumor has it, her brother, Liongate, has betrayed the kingdom and decides to let the monsters that invaded overthrow everything. Solange, with her DeLuxcalibur sword, cannot do this mission by herself. Along the way in the quest, you have to unlock the characters. Trust me, it's a weird mechanic, but it's worth your time if you can handle it. Other characters inolve a rogue thief named Ali, a zombie necromancer named Zozo, an elven bard named Allegro, a sacred martial artist named Master T, a short-tempered nun named Sister Helga, and other characters. It may have gotten mixed reviews on Steam, but it's enjoyable nonetheless! The only way I learned this is from the fighting game Blade Strangers (which Solange, Liongate, Ali, and Master T are in there). Blade Strangers is a collaboration between Nicalis and Studio Saizensen (who worked on this game), which I will get into later. In conclusion, if you want a unique JRPG that isn't like the others, Code of Princess might be your game! (Systems: 3DS, Steam)

#4 - Nantucket - You're all familiar with that classic book Moby Dick, right? This game is based off of that, but takes a twist. About a year and a half after Ahab's crew's death encountering with the great white whale himself, this game starts at the beginning of 1820 and you play as Ishmael, the lone survivor of the Ahab incident who plans to make the most of the golden age of whaling. Which, kinda makes sense cause Greenpeace hasn't been invented yet. (A lot of years away, I might add) This game, is not just about hunting whales, no sir! You can build your crew, upgrade your naval vessel, and complete sidequests to rise above the ranks. Such sidequests include discovering new whaling areas, delivering goods to other port towns, uncovering disappearances of lost ships, and... even finishing what Henry Hudson started by finding the Northwest Passage?! Yeah, call it history-altering, but it's all in this game. The catch is, your crew members can be replaced at the cost of your morale, and you need more to rise in the ranks. But if your captain dies, that's game over. Overall, ranks a 74% on Metacritic, and is just as challenging as you think! (Systems: Steam)

#3 - Rocket: Robot on Wheels - The late 90s and early 2000s were a very quirky time for gaming. Consider: the Nintendo 64. Having cartoon elements similar to games made by Rare. And even though not made by Rare (because this was made by Ubisoft), Rocket: Robot on Wheels is a perfect example of how quirky the N64 can be! The game is you play as a unicycle robot, who is the last hope when he has been chosen to take out an alien named Jojo who's rewired an abandoned amusement park for his own twisted desires. With collectibles including machine parts, and 7 worlds to go through, Rocket: Robot on wheels is for anyone who might want to get used to 3D platforming games. Fun Fact: Made on Halloween, 1999 and ranks a 9/10 on IGN! (Systems: N64)

#2 - Genma Onimusha - To be fair, the only way I know this series is that one of the characters is in Tatsunoko vs Capcom. I just couldn't figure out where he was from, that's all. Genma Onimusha (also known as Onimusha: Warlords), is the first installment of the Onimusha series. If you don't know what the series is, it's Resident Evil, but set in the Sengoku Japan era! Samanosuke Akechi, who fights against the forces of Nobunaga, has bitten off more than he could chew after realizing that after Nobunaga's death, demons who have worked with Nobunaga have held Princess Yuki captive. You start out with a katana, but eventually, Akechi gets cooler weapons that are still traditionally Japanese. Some sections require you to play as Kaede, Samanosuke's female ninja accomplice. Production has been held on hiatus, but don't worry! Capcom is working towards an HD remake of this, and this is one of their best series yet! If you want samurai and demon slaying, give Genma Onimusha a shot, ranking an 86% on Metacritic! (Systems: PS2, Xbox)

#1 - Mischief Makers - Along with the tie-ins of being one of the few 2D platformers for the N64 (alongside Yoshi's Story), Mischief Makers is made by a little company named Treasure. Which also, made a lot of good anime-style games before ultimately dissolving in 2014. Before their big hit, Ikaruga, Mischief Makers is a side-scroller where you play as Marina Liteyears, an android maid, as this game involves grabbing and shaking your enemies to save her creator, Professor Theo from the planet Clancer's evil empire. Only back then when you'll hear the terms "android maid" and "kid-friendly" together! Although ranking an above average 6.2 on IGN, be lucky this was one of few N64 games that is a 2D sidescroller! And it's also lucky to be made by a company that no longer exists anymore, and it is also very enjoyable! Consider this a shot, you'll enjoy this too! (Systems: N64)
