A what

Sorry. (esl I guess)
I mean a booth housing a payphone capable of wireless calls by the same tranceiver tech used in old police cars. (no ground cable)

A couple more:

2....
A group of students go to a house. All of them get eaten by a shapeshifting japanese goblin there except for the main character. For some reason he has to go through a lot of hoops to escape the house.


3.....
A family has an argument on family wealth on a privately owned island. Apparently the grandfather passed away and left a treasure of gold and a few weird notes on how to get it. He expects that none of them will ever find it. There is also the strange painting of a beautiful woman in a dress in the house that grabs people's attention.
Things happen, people seem to die, and the questions in the end become, who is she? and is magic real?
Is the main character able to solve the case, or will he just get trolled at with a sneer laughter.


4.....
A girl gets onboard a train.
The conductor wants her ticket, but it turns out he is a terrifying zombie.
The girl was armed because she happens to work for the police, basically. She meets an ex marine / criminal. The two of them work together to make the train stop.
After exitting they head into a facility. Stuff happens, they find things, things need to be killed, the criminal separates from the girl and she goes looking for him.
She finds him, they fight stuff, she lies and tells the police the guy was found dead. He thanks her, then she heads to the mansion, which means next game.


5.....
A very loud man with self proclaimed "Chords of Steel" shouts his way through people, socializing, investigating and in the court room.
He also has the ability to perceive little things like nervousness in others, which helps find reasons to shout around more.
He also likes pointing when he shouts. ....
In this game, this man takes on the job of investigating what is going on (people's problems), and find out who did what.
He often makes the judge in the courtroom startle, as well as his clients and any suspects in case something serious happened, which in the game is usually the case.
and if you make the right choices he proves his clients not guilty and they can walk off. Otherwise, he gets banished from the courthouse and his clients go to jail.

4: Perhaps Resident Evil?
5: Definitely Ace Attorney.

4 is indeed Resident Evil, but specifically Resident Evil 0
5 is indeed Ace Attorney, but more specifically Gyakuten Saiban 4 (Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney)

Well done ;p

For no real reason, the saviors of humanity are school-age children, and adults are completely useless.

Oh! Oh! I know this one! Every Japanese game ever!

BINGO!

Another one of my favorite tropes in Japanese games is how young the elderly are. For example, Cid Highwind, the old man trope party member in Final Fantasy 7, who is cranky, lives in the past, and falls asleep at inappropriate times, is 36. Raven, the old man trope party member in Tales of Vesperia, who even calls himself "the old man", is 28.

But then you have the opposite take on this, like The End in MGS3, who is more than 100 years old and has to be pushed around in a wheelchair, but if he sees you sneaking up on him, he hops up and runs off much faster than you can pursue.

U have to collect them all for some reason.

Pokemon does the same thing.
The villain in Black and White (Ghetsis) is at least 50, but looks young.
Meanwhile, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum's villain (Cyrus) looks old, but is only 27.

(Don't even get me started on ones like Lusamine, who is supposedly in her 40's, but looks barely older than her teenage son and daughter)

2) In a sequel set centuries after a previous entry, four three races co-exist. A young mercenary/rogue works to make a living, but gets dragged into political intrigue and a conspiracy to both commit genocide and to cover up a previous genocide.
Mercenary/rogue is assisted (but not joined) by a well-endowed spunky photographer (who moonlights as a thief and spy); a princess investigating her father's assassination while keeping it covered up; the mercenary's best friend who seemingly betrays him by joining the army; and a survivor (kinda) of the covered-up genocide.
That said, the mercenary/rogue is still the only playable character.

So, for hints on this one:

- Me striking out four and replacing it with three was on purpose.
- While this kinda looks like an RPG, it's actually an action-adventure game. (It also only has one playable character, instead of a party)
- This was on a Nintendo console
- This is an obscure entry from a popular franchise.

This one's probably gonna give it away, but one more hint: It's made by Square (for obvious reasons).

And then there's Tekken, where people get replaced between installments by their kids, or siblings, or parents, and you legit can't tell because they have exactly the same fighting style, look exactly the same, and are exactly the same age. Hell, I think Jun Kazama actually looks younger than her son Jin Kazama.

A guy was sitting down with his wife in a kitchen and reading newspaper, until some weird fly entered the house and annoyed him, and in his uncontrollable rage he's destroying every object in the house.

This is a loooooong shot since I never played the game and know very little about it

But for some reason my gut is saying Octodad.
