I remember that Sailor Moon S one. That was fun!
I think the Psychic Force series, Cardinal Syn, Battle Arena Toshinden, Eternal Champions, and Poy Poy seem obscure to me too.
i'll have to look into some. what where they on?
Cardinal Syn and the first PF games were on the Playstation and the last PF games were on the Dreamcast. Battle Arena Toshinden was for the Gameboy. Eternal Champions was on Sega CD IIRC.
I thought Psychic Force was original as far as fighting games go. You could fly around, you could sacrifice your health to charge your special bar, and when you unlocked the bosses, you could actually play as the bosses, not as a weak version of them like in other fighting games. When you played the bosses in story mode, the other characters actually came to you and treated you like the final boss. I liked that. The main thing I disliked about it was how hard it was to use any moves. I understand why this was done, but dang, hitting a bajillion buttons to stop time is hard. But since you're stopping time, after all, it probably shouldn't be easy. XD
I liked how the stages of Cardinal Syn were weaponized, so you could kill people with them, but I disliked how unbalanced it was. Once you unlocked Syn, there wasn't any reason to play as anyone other than her, because she was a ridiculously OP dragon.
Battle Arena Toshinden surprised me, because I wasn't expecting much out of a Gameboy game. It's not a bad weapon fighting game at all and being able to win with ring outs is nice too.
Eternal Champions kind of reminds me of a Capcom or SNK game, because of how absurd the cast of playable characters is. But I like that. I remember playing as the alchemist all the doggone time. It also has weaponized stages. Now that I think about it, I think I just have a weak spot for stages you can kill people on. They're awesome. Yesss.
