Is Nobunaga's Ambition Worth Playing Today? - SNESdrunk

[@ItsGroundhogDay]

Definitely not boring games. Each of them can keep you entertained for hundreds of hours. But they are for a specific audience.

[@Sarothias]

Yup. I loved em as a kid and still do. RoTK III is still in my top 10 favorite games tbh

[@herbaldragonX]

Can see why ppl wouldn't be into them,but damn loved koei games growing up.

[@YoshMaster]

@@SarothiasNo idea when or why I got RoTK3 but I was way to young for it haha. I still really was impressed by how impressive it looked so a few years after I star the playing with it again and finally learned a bit more about how it worked. I can’t say I played THAT much but enough that it instilled in me the passion of strategy/sim games and later around 15 years old I really got into those on my Mac. Now it’s like half of all the games I play are strategy/rts/4x etc 😁

[@Belgand]

Yeah, some people are really into sports games, but as someone with no interest in sports I'd find them boring. It's all about the sort of things you prefer. Not everyone wants fast-paced arcadey action games.

[@clarafedde8674]

People did like them as they kept getting translated....but we missed so many of the really good game still left in Japan

Don't be silly Drunk, Noahbunga is the Ninja Turtles catch phrase.

Wait...so the man's name is Drunk? Or is it first name SNES, last name Drunk? Maybe SNES Drunk is a title, but just Drunk for short?? I'm confused.

[@pauliedibbs9028]

[@Orpheusftw]

For some reason, the box art reading "Introducing a new kind of troublemaker!" makes me laugh. What a strange way to market a game about sengoku era japan. 😂

I might just be a nerd, but I think it'd be comfy to play one of these games with a manual on hand, a history book, and a cup of good coffee in the early morning as it rain heavily outside. You know what, I am a nerd. This sounds like a good ass time. I should be more prideful.

[@Hellastreet700]

I hear you I’m playing through Evo atm it’s a strange chill game and would be perfect for winters evenings with a cuppa or beer “good times”

@@berrim26 Absolutely worth giving them a listen. There's so much variety in style and emotion. "Supreme Ruler Suite," "Shadow," "Burning Mount Hiei," and "Unrecognized Genius" are just some of my favorites.

[@bjwaters]

My dad used to play the NES version of the game, and the technical limitations of that console definitely made that game seem esoteric. However, my dad figured it out, and I have memories of watching him do the battles on those unique square/hex battlegrounds. I don't think we knew about the SNES ones, and my dad had shifted over to PC gaming by then, with games like Master of Orion and Civilization 2. Still, it was neat to hear some of the music carry over to the first SNES game.

[@Davtwan]

The series is famous for a reason. Koei is known for it alongside Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Thankfully there are other optimizations to make games fly by faster such as delegating a fief to your lords and thus the AI (although that can be risky). Lastly, there’s one important thing about the first game: starting a game with low Health and Drive will make the game much harder compared to being low in other stats. Keep that in mind if you don’t want to aim for 90s in all stats. Good luck!

[@Mankey619]

Noah Bunga would make an awesome surfing game. Can you imagine him surfing with the piece of an Ark, and causes a massive mad waves.

[@abysmalvsmarcus]

Or a character from Surf Ninjas 2

[@BillyReplies]

🤙

[@sergeib1233]

Noah Bunga is a ninja turtles strategy game.

[@fireflocs]

That would be an amazing game, just because Noah's whole thing is _the entire planet got flooded._ Imagine being a surfer in that scenario.

[@pauliedibbs9028]

I think you are onto something....

[@Ratralsis]

This game looks like exactly the kind of thing I'd never play, never want to play, and never enjoy playing if I were forced to. So, naturally, I watched the entire video and enjoyed hearing your detailed analysis. Now I'll go off and continue a life that never includes playing this game. Thanks!

[@S.E.Walker]

My best friend was obsessed with this game. OBSESSED! He left his system on playing one campaign for over four months. I thought it was utterly incomprehensible and deathly boring without being able to actually see the epic battles supposedly taking place. Now that I'm older, I'd love to see an RTS remake of this with modern battlefield sim.

[@derekmatzek9551]

[@starlightwitch12]

Finally SNESDrunk talking about two installments of my favorite strategy game series, Nobunaga no Yabou. These installments are known as Super Nobunaga no Yabou - Zenkokuban and Super Nobunaga no Yabou - Bushou Fuuunroku in Japan, btw. Two more Nobunaga no Yabou games were also released on the SNES as well, which are Haouden (which it's main theme "Opening Chapter of the Supreme Ruler" is one of my favorite strategy game intro themes.) and Tenshouki. The recent NA Awakening (or Nobunaga no Yabou Shinsei), has a DLC featuring NIJISANJI VTuber Ibrahim as a playable officer, which was available for a limited time back in 2023. My favorites however of all the Nobunaga no Yabou games are Reppuuden, Ranseiki, Tenka Sousei (Rise to Power), Kakushin (Iron Triangle), and Sozou (Sphere of Influence)

[@khaimk4r4su]

Nobunaga's Ambition cover for the NES game intrigued me for decades with the shining face of the warlord on it. I guess it represents the player character. That or Nobunaga himself

[@knt5875]

I remember playing this game, pretty fun once you get the hang of it. Having ample rice is crucial, as I mustered, what I thought was, an near invincible army that outnumbered all! Sadly, I forgot to stockpile rice... My army just disintegrated as I was about to unleash it. Lol! Lesson learned!

[@NESFriend]

Super feudal dynasty brothers! Noabunga!

[@mattdarrock666]

Shogun power!

[@GavinAnderegg]

A friend of mine always called it "Nobunga's Ambition". I assumed he was right, and said it that way for WAY too long. I rented this game once and didn't have the manual. I really tried, but got absolutely nowhere with it! The music was the best part, and I love that it was reused a lot as part of the US translation of the original Iron Chef.

[@bigduke5902]

That's how I said it, too. And I got praised by a teacher once for using the word "ambition".

[@pauliedibbs9028]

Or maybe it _was_ "Nobunga's Ambition" and you may have discovered yet another... *gulp* Mandela! Lol I kid, I kid...

[@Wolfburns]

I appreciate that lil guide on how to get started with these games. They are such a weird interest to me cause of the grand scope on SNES. I wonder how many people have played all of them to completion because they like them instead of not letting the game win lol. Thanks for the great videos!

[@shibumi8]

That picture of Noah surfing is just the cherry on top to make this perfect. 😆

[@Shrapnel82]

Huh huh huh

[@legionarybooks13]

I play Nobunaga's Ambition quite a bit on the NES, including the fifty province long scenario. The SNES version looks the same, just upgraded graphics and sound. I enjoyed it. And hey, it got me interested in Feudal Japan. It was how I first learned that all the characters in Shogun were either fictional or renamed from their historical counterparts. A bit bummed to learn Toranaga wasn't real. But then, the historical Tokugawa (who you can play in the game) was pretty badass.

[@danielposey0620]

Pretty surprising how so many of these Koei games got translated stateside releases but stuff like Terranigma get stuck in Japan

[@hatendiscontent]

When i saw this title, I also read "Noabunga" and pictured Noah riding a surfboard sized The Ark on a sick wave. Noah-bunga, dudes

[@ikazuchioni]

Omg that's hilarious!

[@Sandman_Slim]

Sure you did.

[@MetallicMutalisk]

I read it as "Nobunaga" because that's the order the letters were in

[@hatendiscontent]

@@Sandman_Slim You got me! My original visualization was of the full size Ark riding on a gigantic tsunami, but the immediate next though was Noah shredding a big barrel on a small Ark.

[@lancourt]

My brother and I also used to call this series No Bunga's Ambition.

[@chiissu]

I was at a game shop in the mall and saw a GB game with a Japanese label and on a whim, bought it. It was Nobunaga's Ambition and I gave it a shot. After a few tries, I got it on my GameCube Player and went at it. I used the Hojo Klan and from 1560 to 1627 gradually united Japan. I saved and tried to attack and if I fell I reloaded. Eventually there were 3 Klans left and I built my forces until the enemy had a civil war and I saved, then rushed in and took em. There was 1 last Klan to conquer and I sent all my forces at it, only to find they left at the same time and attacked my unguarded base and we swapped sides. Then regrouped and creamed him and united Japan after 67 years. Its lie a melange of Risk, Monopoly and Rollercoaster Tycoon. Only 1 mission, Unite the warring states of Japan, and after that, you get a cut scene and thats it. I liked it and am glad I chose to get it for like 5-10$ used cartridge only.

[@Deadguy2322forreal]

It is spelled "clan". The K spelling has a very unpleasant origin.

[@sergeib1233]

why are you spelling clan with a k? thisnt a game about the Ku Klux...

Good old Nonabunga's ambition. Good oooold Nibbly-nugget's ambition. Goood oooooold Nobuy-nougat's Ambition. Thanks for the vid! My exposure to Nobunaga's Ambition has mostly been through Pokemon Conquest but have been meaning to check out one of the newer installments on PC for a while.

This was one of the first Videogames I ever played. I remember not being able to fathom a menu based game and thinking I needed to read the manual to learn how to "start" the actual game which I envisioned being something like Shinobi 3, (I played that once when my Dad was visiting his work friend and brought me along). Then realizing the manual was as big as a novella and way above my 1st grade reading level I gave up entirely and never played the game again for about 7 years.

Just wanted to say I am really enjoying this nostalgia trip through KOEI games. These were extremely my thing in the 90s; I had an endless appetite for incredibly boring games that felt much more grandiose in my head. I actually beat this one on the giant map starting way up in the corner in fief 1 with a personalized, incredibly young daimyo named after me. I finished uniting Japan and immediately died of old age. Good times. :)

[@alebigboss19]

Have been waiting a long time for this video. All resources in one horse is the way to go haha

[@jamesstaggs4160]

The first Koei game I ever played was Nobuganda's Ambition on the NES. I rented it one weekend when a friend was over and he didn't get it at all. We did get a kick out of the name of the leader I always chose- Cao Cao. Now I know it's pronounced more like "Chow chow" with a bit of an "s" noise when saying the "ch" part, but back then when we were ten we thought it said "K-oh K-oh". Not really funny to an adult but we would randomly yell out "K-OH K-Oh" in class or while playing football at recess. Amazing what kids will pick up on. We had half the class yelling that out randomly by the end of the school year even though none of them really had any clue what it meant. Drove the teacher nuts because when she'd demand to know what it meant we'd always give her a different answer like "It's the name of my cat" or "It's an Arabic phrase that means we love our teacher". The one she finally believed was "It's what He-Man says when going into battle".

[@sandal_thong8631]

I had been playing computer games, then got into SNES games. I had played SimCity and wanted to try something similar once I was done with that. I forget whether I read about Aerobiz and Nobunaga's Ambition in GamePro. But I got those two (including the first Nobunaga's) and enjoyed them. I then picked up Genghis Khan, but it was more complicated than Nobunaga's and I didn't get into it, so gave it to my cousin. It's been about 30 years now, so I don't remember the specifics, though the gameplay in this video looks familiar. As he said, if you're into this kind of turn-based game, where you buy and feed an army before attacking, then you might enjoy the first Nobunaga (which I just read is an update from an NES game). There was a popular MB boardgame in the 1980s and 1990s first called Shogun, then re-released as Samurai Swords (since you draw swords for turn order). You start with some provinces of Japan distributed by dealing out cards Risk-style. You get an income each turn based on territories. You can spend them on turn order, a defensive castle, military units (bowmen, gunners, samurai or spearman) placed 1 each province, temporary ronin that can be placed multiples in one province, or a ninja that could be used to try to assassinate an enemy general. If any of your three generals (daimyos) wins a battle with his army, they level up. Eventually if not defeated or assassinated they might be able to move and attack more than once per turn (as many as three?). Conquer someone's third daimyo and you take over all his units and territories. Win by taking a certain number of territories. Two to five players. This one doesn't involve rice farming and feeding the army.

[@princevaliant]

You made me so want to play Gemfire! I played most of the 3Kingdoms games since NES, but I just don't feel like playing Noahbunga, even today.... The recent Unchartered Water Origin game have Nobunaga and some other historic characters on it but as its a gotcha game, there is no point buying these characters. After this video I do feel a little motivated to play the this Noahbunga series now lol...

[@Sparkbomber]

TBH? Games with titles in foreign languages can be tricky to pronounce correctly. I'm just glad I picked English up easily as a kid. Trying to learn Japanese as an adult though... really tough. Also... still miss the beautiful but extinct gamestores you used to have here... Gamestown in Noord Scharwoude and The Entertainer and GameKiosk in Amersfoort. I'm no businessman, but I would love to bring a try out and play store back with tons of new/second hand games adorning the walls.

[@wraithcadmus]

Paradox did also make Sengoku, not sure how good it was or is today. It's a great period to set a wargame though, hell EU4 starts only a few years before the Wikipedia-given start date of the period.

@@wraithcadmus And the first Total War game was Shogun: Total War.

[@shadowmanwkp]

The original boardgame is from 1993, while Nobunaga's ambition is from 1986, although that is the Japanese release date. It was released two years later in the US. EU could've take inspiration from NA, but it isn't as big of a gap as I initially thought.

[@lmelior]

Oddly enough, I played various iterations of Romance of the Three Kingdoms since 2 on the SNES, but I never played a single Nobunaga's Ambition game until I got Sphere of Influence - Ascension on the PS4. I'm gonna have to give this older one a shot, but honestly nothing is going to compare to the nostalgia factor of RotTK 3 on Genesis. Every few years I pick it back up again so I can experience the sheer joy of exploiting the heck out of the game using diplomacy and an advisor with 100 intellect. 😂

Beating this game without save states back when I was in fifth grade taught me more about Japanese history and geography than all of my secondary and post graduate education taught me American History combined. Either this is a great game, American school positively suck, or both.

[@garethrns]

Liked and Subbed because this is the second video you've dropped in baseball references

[@sergeib1233]

6:04 I've been playing this game for nearly 30 years, beat it with a dozen different characters, and not once have I had a tea ceremony to ally with another government. you can have tea ceremonies with your own generals and invite the merchant sometimes, or you can have a tea ceremony with one of a couple wandering tea masters but not with other Daimyo unless I somehow missed that mechanic. It would be cool though. Maybe it's a feature in the PC version? I know these videos are not strategy guides but tea items are the best way to earn loyalty from your generals. give a 7th class tea item or better to a general with 20 loyalty and it will hump to 100. Make that general a governor and he can reward it to someone else to raise their loyalty. rinse and repeat for a very loyal army. also if you blitz a stronger opponent and defeat them, your WAR stat increases by 1. You can raise politics by educating and intelligence through tea parties. but those last two are mid to late game options when you have sizable territory and income.

[@bigduke5902]

When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s renting video games twice a week from three different rental stores, I can honestly tell you there was nothing I would've loved more than to meet an adult who knew enough about what every other one ridiculed me for liking to correct my pronunciation like that.
