Beating EVERY N64 Game - Nushi Tsuri 64 (66/394)

[@loyalwar658]

This is one of the best KZbin series out right now! It’s literally a review of EVERY N64 game. Thank you for doing this!

[@Eckster]

A review where the reviewer actually plays through the whole game, which is surprisingly rare nowadays.

[@ogxboxmike]

There is a save fix for this game for the Everdrive 64. Add this line to your save_db.txt file... UT=30 (Nushi Tsuri 64) Also for the 2nd game before you come toplay it, add this line... UM=30 (Nushi Tsuri 64: Shiokaze ni Notte) Hope this helps you out :)

[@Sirhc7000]

Dude those graphics when fishing are pretty insane for the N64. I recently replayed Sega Bass Fishing on the Dreamcast and it’s crazy how close it looks to that.

[@mischiefmikeyo]

The commitment to play the Japanese exclusives despite the language barrier is what makes this series truly great. Hopefully you role some games that have some good fan translations. Pumped for custom robo.

[@uhhh_adam]

Hopefully it doesn’t crash after credits like it did to me every emulator I played it on

[@Neonsilver13]

The thing with the hats and the statues is probably based on a japanese short story were an old man who usually sells strawhats in town. One day when he couldn't sell them he encountered several statues on his way home. He gave his hats to the statues, including the one hat he wore himself. The following night the statues gave him and his wive a reward.

[@MR-dr5nc]

The vibe of this game looks amazing.

[@shadoninja]

Playing this without a guide would be miserable. It is the classic "talk to everyone over and over until you find the sequence of conversations that triggers something important". It took his 7 hours to beat it while knowing EXACTLY where to go. It would probably take 3x that or more to do blind even if you could read the text

[@radishpineapple74]

Thanks for doing these rare ones too. I never would have seen a review of this game, or even known that it existed, had you not decided to embark on this adventure.

[@corey8927]

“Catching a fish is pretty easy, but it gets tedious.” Wow, sounds like they really nailed that real fishing feeling.

[@TheKingGoesFirst]

[@joetalentoh]

This is one of those games that makes an amazing 15 minute KZbin video, but looks absolutely miserable to actually play through. Great video as always thab!

[@JohnDaleski]

I'm loving this series, in the beginning I was skipping the games that I didn't know but start giving a chance to every episode and they are all very good! Keep it up!

[@asymptoticspatula]

"I got so frustrated I decided to grab a turtle" We've all been there, right?

[@mikeallison5549]

I know!! Just this morning at work, went to go get coffee but someone took the last of it without making more. Thankfully there was a turtle nearby for me to grab.

The most comprehensive N64 series to date.

[@kenny3217]

This is such a cool idea and your commitment to the original parameters of the challenge is impressive, I would be willing to bet your channel is going to explode in subs over the course of this epic journey as more people discover it. Keep up the great work!

[@TheAtoll]

It's like catching Walter on Golden Pond!

[@rubykr]

What an interesting and obscure game! By the way, each of the characters does have a name but likely the translator doesn't know/mistranslates those sections so here they are based on the order you showed them. little girl: 春朝今日子 (shunchou kyouko) "younger sister" (妹) straw hat kid: 春朝二郎 (shunchou jirou). "younger brother" (弟) backwards hat: 春朝一郎 (shunchou ichirou). "older brother" (兄) bike girl: 春朝真理子 (shunchou mariko). "older sister" (姉) mom: 春朝敏子 (shunchou toshiko*) "mother" (母) *the reading of 敏子 can actually be several things including satoko, hayako, haruko, and others. dad: 春朝秀男 (shunchou hideo) "father" (父) Anyway it's no big deal but it is interesting that these characters have "canon" names. By the way fun fact, in the old days male children would often be named by the order of their birth, so like 一郎 means "first son" and 二郎 "second son". these days it's not as commonly adhered to, but yeah oh and btw the ナミテントウ (namitentou) is a kind of ladybug. tentou is the word broadly used for ladybugs. if you've seen digimon as a kid, tentomon is named because they look like a ladybug.

[@bigcomedown987]

Thank you for doing this. It's become one of the things I look foward to most in a week.

[@Yungbeck]

I enjoy these smaller, unknown games more than the big titles! Also, dont stress using a guide I mean jesus christ the fact that you took this on in the first place is crazy

[@olahafs]

I have noticed that you sit and play with a slight tilt to your left. You should try to sit more straight. Avoid problems with back when you get older. Take it from and old guy. Best of luck with the series. It is very good.

[@zamooti4505]

The reason why this game was harder than just translating text is because it is flooded with cultural references. A Japanese person would know to give straw hats to the kappa statues because… well, that’s a story that everyone knows. A straw hat seller that traveled outside of town and unfortunately couldn’t make any sales. Even though he was poor, he still gave his unsold hats to some statues on the road, statues that represented gods and were in the middle of nowhere. This act of kindness was rewarded, but tbh I don’t remember the tale that well, but it’s something along those lines. The main plot of a catfish causing an earthquake is probably another one of those tales that they know. If anyone played Monster Hunter Tri, the plot is a coast village that is suffering from regular earthquakes, and eventually one of the monsters that you take down is Gobul, kind of an anglerfish mixed with a pufferfish mixed with a catfish kinda monster. They’re not the actual cause of the earthquakes, and they’re not actually a catfish like in this N64 game, but I find it too similar to be just a coincidence. Anyways, good thing there was a guide, because these kind of things are extremely difficult and you’d probably need an actual Japanese person helping with understanding that stuff. Cultural stuff

[@MrHonkblarg]

No saving and only one character, seems like a good older style DRM

With so much content that exists online I am rather selective of what and who I subscribe too. No it is not a label of what I watch and what I don't watch, it is more like what content I won't mind being coerced into as opposed to content I prefer be sought out.

I see what this game was going for. Like the “kid in a rural Japanese town, midsummer, nothing better to do than whatever you want.” Like the fishing, bugcatching, River swimming. It’s cute but doesn’t exactly make a thriller of a game imo. Good work though dude!

[@smartiboi]

This game looks great and deserves a remake

[@Tehgreenz]

What will you do with a game you can't beat? I remember playing through some "classics" recently and MK Mythologies: Sub Zero almost made me never want to touch an N64 again. I want to see you complete it.

[@tylerjames3029]

Use google translate from your phone etc. I just used it on your video here Japanese - English through the phones camera and I think the translation is good enough to get through any screen if you don’t have a guide 👍

[@Thabeast721]

It does translate things, but proper nouns do very poorly and it can be hard to know what they are actually talking about

[@TheAtoll]

What is an ever-drive? is that an emulator? Didn't you say that you were playing all these games on the original hardware earlier in the series?

[@andreasm.1999]

An EverDrive is a regular looking cart with an SD card slot at the top

[@iamlorde222]

It's a Nintendo cartridge you can put games on, it's what all the streamers do for hacks and obscure games

[@gravitywaves2796]

An everdrive is basically an empty game cartridge that lets you put a ROM of a game on it via SD cards. They fit in the N64 and once you plug in and select the game it runs exactly like the original.

[@TheAtoll]

@@gravitywaves2796 Oh cool! That sounds amazing! Thank you for explaining

[@jonathantegnell9935]

Why is there Kirby music in the background? Is that the actual game music?

[@djhakase]

Look up Visual Novel OCR. It will help with the language. Congrats on beating another obscure Japanese game!

[@Thabeast721]

I have an app to translate for me. It is very hard to translate Japanese to English though. Most games don't use kanji, which makes it even harder. Especially when proper nouns like names are used

[@djhakase]

@@Thabeast721 The VN OCR program can run on the capture computer so your viewers can see the automatically translated text. The English translation will lag behind the game by 3 or 4 seconds and you need to train it with a Chroma key but it helps a lot for RPGs.

[@djhakase]

@Burst Your Bubble The word salad needs some getting used to, for sure, but it helps when you need to find out where to go or what to do. The latest versions translate well enough.

[@djhakase]

Thanks for telling me about Papago, it looks miles ahead in translation quality. VN translator says it supports Papago but I'm no expert. OBS will happily capture the VN Translator translation window and that can be mixed in the broadcast with the N64 video input. I might give it a go myself, there's an old Japanese PlayStation RPG I've always wanted to understand, Velldeselba Senki.

[@aimlessgamer6187]

If this game was in English I think I would really like it.

[@KingBat]

Try River King for the PS2, also try Rune Factory.

Dude, there are epic journeys out there, and then there is this. There will be a movie adaptation I'm sure. I picture a climax in the the torrential rain, a countdown, a nuke, Goldeneye 64, Aztec on 00, a laughing bad guy, a damsel tied to the nuke, a ninja master fighting you whilst you parry her moves and focus on playing, a silly side-kick played by Rob Schneider, a defective rumble pack, and the ultimate reveal that you're actually the father of the evil ninja in a time travelling twist. Good luck!
