* ''Amped 3'' is a fairly obscure, so-so snowboarding game which managed to bomb significantly despite being a launch Platform/Xbox360 game. However, if people know of it, they likely remember it for the [[QuirkyWork completely batshit]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9WKg6yhebU&list=PL4F00865FB55E4F4D cutscenes]], which featured, among other things, constant ArtShift between [[StylisticSuck deliberately bad CGI]], {{Animesque}}, hand puppets, handdrawn on paper, scrapbook cutouts, 8-bit {{Retraux}}, among about a dozen other styles, and for a completely insane plot that involved MindControl, a parody of Creator/ElectronicArts, a main character being recruited into a BoyBand, russian agents, and ending with [[spoiler: a comet colliding with Earth and causing an EarthShatteringKaboom]]. [[DenserAndWackier This is despite the fact that the first two games were down-to-earth, realistic, and took themselves pretty seriously.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/AutoModellista'' is a RacingGame by Capcom whose claim to fame is that it has highly stylized and flamboyant [[CelShading cel-shaded]] graphics despite being an otherwise staid and realistic driving simulation ala ''VideoGame/GranTurismo''. The cel shading is such a big part of the game's reputation that when Capcom released a follow-up driving sim with more realistic graphics (''Group S Challenge''), it was immediately ignored and remains very obscure despite otherwise improving on ''Auto Modellista'' in most respects.

* ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'' started off as a fangame called ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic'' before getting ScrewedByTheLawyers and being reworked into an original IP [[ApprovalOfGod with the help of]] Creator/LaurenFaust. While it's considered a decent game with a strong following among the UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity, outside of the fandom it's known more for the apparent absurdity of the fact that "the ''My Little Pony'' fighting game" is a thing that exists in all seriousness than for any of the game's actual merits. It's gradually breaking past this stigma, though.
