back in the day, phoenix wright was probably the winner, but I doubt he even registers on the radar anymore

Katawa Shoujo seems like the most Board 8 game.

Phoenix Wright is probably the most popular, sure

but I came in to say Jackbox Party Pack 4's "Bracketeering" because that reminds me the most of B8

My first thought was Phoenix Wright

Trails has some very, very vocal fans but doesn't feel as ubiquitous

It shouldn't be OoT or Pokemon because they're really popular games. They're not really "the most b8"

Black Turtle was pretty nasty about the whole thing but he had a point when he said b8 tended to move from one relatively niche favourite to the next. That's been a clear characteristic of b8 as long as I've been here, so I think the "most b8 game" would have to be one of those niche favourites. The main ones I remember are Phoenix Wright, TitS, Tales of Symphonia was huge for a while, and loads of others I'd probably remember if I wasn't so tired. You could also make an argument for Chester, especially after the 2013 contest ("Chester as a unit of measurement" still cracks me up).

Overall though I think the answer is probably Phoenix Wright

For those who know how to modify things with CSS, this will uncollapse quotes by default:

.msg_body blockquote {display: inherit !important}

I included the .msg_body part mostly to avoid possible conflicts with other websites.

Undertale is the game everyone is hesitant to say, but it makes a strong case.

It's a niche game that the board universally loves, to the point where we got it to win a contest.

it's not niche (over 3 million copies sold) and nobody here is sheepish about liking undertale (i'd wager close to 100 board 8ers own it, which is, like, essentially all of us)

it was arguably niche before board 8 made it a worldwide phenomenon that reached even the pope.

I mean, if by "board 8 game" you mean game that we like disproportionately vs. the rest of video games, then yeah, it's probably Phoenix Wright - though I feel like the whole internet loves Phoenix Wright. we're not totally unique there.

some lower-key hits might be 999, DR, Umineko, Shadow Hearts or Trails. actually, we just like VNs and JRPGs as a whole. I'd be more surprised if we ever picked up an american game/series over the rest of the internet.
