6. Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom (1988, NES)
Who else thinks that Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom sounds like the kind of bat shit crazy idea that would turn up on late night Cartoon Network or in an episode of Adventure Time or Ren and Stimpy? It's a bonkers broken English title that was typical of the NES back in its heyday but it has enjoyed a revival of sorts courtesy of the Wii virtual console back in 2010. Taking the role of the brave Sir Cucumber - an actual walking talking cucumber and not a penis reference - the player must trek across the Salad Kingdom at the behest of King Broccoli and find the presumably gorgeous (for a fruit) Princess Tomato who has been kidnapped by a Pumpkin in true Nintendo fashion. We all know how much Nintendo loves their endangered princesses! The Janken match battle style is very similar to Pokémon and may even be an early blueprint for the games although this is merely speculation and I could in fact be talking out of my bottom. You could ask the games developer Hudson but they went bust last year. With quality WTF games like this it's difficult to understand why.
