** Unfortunately, [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo the sequel series]] pretty much [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible shat all over the fanbase.]]

* The medium as a whole everywhere except Japan (especially in North America).

* ''VisualNovel/RadicalDreamers'' (in contrast to the more mainstream success of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' and ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'')

* ''TheWizardOfSpeedAndTime''

* ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' (though well-received, it's no way near as popular as fellow PS2 platforming franchises ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' and ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'')

* ''VideoGame/YumeNikki''; a strange, little freeware game by un unheard of Japanese creator, too large to be browser-based, and only distributed by the fans, yet it has generated no less than ''two'' dozen fangames (all of which can be seen [[http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E3%82%86%E3%82%81%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A3%E3%81%8D%E6%B4%BE%E7%94%9F here]]), massive amounts of WildMassGuessing, and an incredible amount of MemeticMutation. And the game's only been released ''as Version 0.1''.

** And the mother of all anime cults: ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''. Especially the [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist 2003 anime]].

* The ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER}}'' trilogy, ''the'' video game cult classics to end all video game cult classics.

** ''[[VideoGame/EarthBound MOTHER 2]]''[=/=]''[=EarthBound=]''[[note]]By far the biggest example in the series, if not the medium itself[[/note]]

* ''AttackOfThe50FootWoman''
* ''AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes''

* ''{{Deadlands}}''

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' has been the go-to RPG for decades, and has served as the TropeCodifier for most modern Fantasy and RPG games and media ever since.

** ''VideoGame/StarFox2'' [[VaporWare even more so.]]

** ''[[VideoGame/EarthBound MOTHER 2]]''[=/=]''[=EarthBound=]''[[hottip:*:By far the biggest example in the series, if not the medium itself]]

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' was the cult phenomenon of 2010 before ''My Little Pony'' came out. [[hottip:*:(and is even somewhat competitive with fans of the latter, the two shows having [[http://denver.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw3324-1330560319780.gif very little in common)]]

* ''TabletopGame/Exalted''

* {{Traveller}}

* ''Franchise/Digimon''

* ''EuroTruckSimulator 2'', which sits in a weird position between FunForSome and CultClassic. Its popularity outside of SimulationGame circles stems largely from the sheer number of people (especially [[SomethingAwful Goons]]) who picked up the game because they found the premise hilariously mundane, only to actually play it and find themselves enjoying it unironically.
