Nazo no Murasame-jou retrospective: Feudal floppy | NES Works Gaiden

By request of Peter LaPrade, this week brings us another look at a Famicom Disk System exclusive that ended up being stranded in Japan until fairly recently: Nintendo's own Nazo no Murasame-jou. A brisk, challenge action title with a structure loosely patterned after The Legend of Zelda, Nazo no Murasame-jou seems like the kind of thing that probably would have done fairly well for itself had Nintendo localized it alongside their other FDS titles (Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Volleyball) in mid-1987. Instead, it languished in Japan for decades, though it has exerted a small presence on modern games like Smash Bros., meaning you could be more familiar with this game than you realize.

[@peterhoeller7811]

Reminder to everyone: This was rereleased on Game Boy Advance in Japan as part of their Classic NES Series (or whatever the Japanese naming equivalent was).

[@crithitjace]

One of the most fascinating things is that there is an entire game mode in Samurai Warriors 3 when it was exclusive to the Wii that is based off of it and Takamaru is actually playable in that game. Something I wouldn't mind in future Samurai Warriors games or at least a Koei Tecmo developed spin-off.

[@brunocar02]

the most ironic part of that is that the PS3 rerelease removed it... but that one was japanese exclusive lol

I remember the music appeared in Super Smash Bros Brawl, and listening to it a lot in the My Music menu. That was the best place to hear it, because the stage it played in was the Mario Bros. stage. And nobody’s going to pick the Mario Bros. stage.

[@starlightwitch12]

I know this game because this game was on Samurai Warriors 3 with Takamaru as unlockable playable character, in fact that is the reason why SW3 Xtreme Legends and SW3Z wasn't localized, since Nintendo published that game in the west rather than Koei.

[@brunocar02]

mind you, its not BECAUSE of that, nintendo only distributed it, previous samurai warriors games were fully published by koei as well, the reason why the other versions (the XL expansion on wii, the PSP and PS3 port and empires) didnt get brought over is simply cause SW3 was a massive flop and even in japan it sold worse than the second one, the playstation ports were to recoup costs cause most of the musou fans were on that platform, hence why SW4 just went back to being PS exclusive

[@JazGalaxy]

That final level sure is hellish, but I would argue that it looks almost identical to the similarly hellish final world of super Mario 3...

[@Choralone422]

Maybe so but by the time SMB3 was released in the US Nintendo was very well entrenched in the US. I'm in the first year or two (late 85-87) of the NES being available Nintendo wanted to do as little as they could to "rock the boat" with parents groups and the like. Especially with any imagery that could be seen as being satanic or overtly evil looking on their 1st party releases. Just look at other early NES games that things like crosses changed for localization to the US. Also, I'm sure this game was never localized by Nintendo because early on in the life of the NES Nintendo wanted games that had a western feel to them and didn't scream Japan like this game does. 3rd parties could release games with very far eastern themes but not Nintendo as they most likely wanted to try and play down their Japanese roots a little. Sad to say but racism against Japan was still common in many parts of the US during the NES era.

[@duffman18]

Yeah people always talk about how difficult the Japanese super Mario bros 2 game is, but the last world or two of Super Mario bros 3 is much harder. It's still easy overall cos the early worlds of SMB 3 are easier than SMB 2/lost levels, and in general it's still a lot easier than most nes games. But it can be very frustrating if you haven't learnt the layouts yet and so don't know you can't stand somewhere cos a cannonball will hit you from off screen or whatever

[@NickSayre]

Agree. Also, among potential barriers for importing this title to the US, fixing "Hell" would have been one of the easiest (change the skull sprite to a spike or something).

[@MojaveManiac]

Yes! I've wanted an episode on this topic for so long. Thanks to the patron who suggested this!

[@absolutezeronow7928]

You're welcome. I felt like it would help further put the great 1987 Nintendo games on NES into context since it was released two months after Zelda and before Metroid and Kid Icarus. (I think some people will be happy with my next request too)

[@absolutezeronow7928]

I definitely like the recent trend of Nintendo making some of it's Famicom-only stuff more accessible (I don't like that Fire Emblem's localization was time limited, but that definitely is a 1990 game and future Fire Emblem games and its remakes would do that game better). Maybe now that Advance Wars is not dead, maybe Nintendo will finally localize Famicom Wars. I also love seeing those Famicom Detective Club games being on Switch.

[@thecunninlynguist]

i'm hoping if reboot does well enough, they might give us a nice lil collection of all the NES/SNES/GB ones...and remakes of the DS ones...then a new AW!

[@Unquestionable]

Nintendo definitely has a lot of old stuff they could bring more awareness to whether it be remakes or standard rereleases. The whold Famicom Detective Club release was one of the coolest things to come out from them within the last few years.

Might have been too violent since you're clearly using a deadly weapon against humans. It looks like nothing much today but back then that was still a big deal. Especially in Europe where the game would have to be censored but NoA may have worried about its image too.

[@PrekiFromPoland]

That doesn't make sense, the aformentioned Commando, Ikari Warriors and later Contra, Heavy Barrel etc. feature extensive human on human carnage with deadly weapons (firearms). Nintendo didn't have any problem with these, as long as there was no graphic, explicit violence involved (and yet Bionic Commando's infamous exploding Hitler head still remained in the game!).

[@mikejonez9616]

GetsuFumaDen by konami is also a great one.

[@IanSane]

I mean this in jest, but maybe this didn't get localized so Nintendo could defend the Disk System's existence. Lots of the add-on's big games like Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Castlevania and Doki Doki Panic all got localized as cartridges here. So that raises the obvious question of why the FDS was needed if the games could have been done on a stock Famicom? Of course the average Japanese consumer at the time probably had no idea. These days this game gives import collectors of the FDS a good excuse to justify their collection. "Ah, but I need to own this finicky piece of hardware so I can play Nazo no Murasame-jou on original hardware!"

[@Megoodfilmguy]

When the FDS came out in Japan, carts were far less capable than they were a couple years later as those games got ported to cart. Expansion chips and Battery backups were too expensive or simply hadn't been invented yet. Plus, many FDS games have additional audio capabilities and therefore different versions of songs. Compare zelda's title screen from the FDS version to the US version.

[@Jinx_Skeel]

the point of the disk system is because diskettes are cheaper than cartridges, so I don't think that's the question here, because one media wouldn't nullify the other

[@Megoodfilmguy]

@@Jinx_Skeel That was part of it certainly, but the rewritable nature of diskettes was the main point in making a whole new peripheral for the famicom. You could save game, but also Kiosks in 7-11's could erase your old game and write a new one. But by the time the FDS would have shipped in the states, the carts were cheaper to make and more capable, but also the infrastructure for rewritable kiosks really wasn't there in most of the US and elsewhere. The cheapness of disks is largely nullified if I have to buy a $100 peripheral to play them.

It’s surprising it didn’t end up on the Wii VC, it would’ve been right at home in one of the VC’s annual Hanabi Festival import game events. That was how us Europeans finally got to play Super Mario RPG.

[@thecunninlynguist]

whoa...you guys never got Mario RPG?!

[@BenCol]

@@thecunninlynguist Not on the SNES. A lot of SNES RPGs skipped the PAL regions, including Earthbound, Final Fantasies IV and VI, and Chrono Trigger. I’m not fully sure why. Probably they considered the genre too niche to warrant the cost of exporting them, what with the cost of adapting NTSC to PAL and providing French and German translations too. Course we’ve been able to play them since what with online distribution such as the Wii VC, as well as rereleases on the PS1, GBA, DS etc. And not to forget good ol’ emulation. I think, much like NA, Final Fantasy VII did a lot to make the genre more popular. But hey, we got Secret of Mana so it’s not all bad. They had to modify SMRPG for its Wii VC release because one of the characters uses the word “bugger” which is a very rude word in the UK, not the sort of language to be found in a kids game like Mario, so they changed it to “pest”. Curiously enough, the SNES Mini kept the “bugger”, but I guess the console had a PEGI 12 rating overall so it didn’t really matter.

[@thecunninlynguist]

@@BenCol insane! You guys missed out on some classics. Although growing up i did remember reading how the pal region didn't get the same releases or release dates as the US.

[@BenCol]

@@thecunninlynguist We got them eventually, so all’s well that ends well. Better late than never, as they say. I do remember when SMRPG got its VC release it was a big deal, like: “OMG, we finally get to play it!” Same with Earthbound in 2013 - we’d heard so much and so much of it good, it was a great moment when they finally arrived. I always noticed growing up that release dates always went in the same order: Japan, NA, Europe, Oz. Thankfully by the time I got into gaming in the ‘00s they had gotten better at getting the release dates close to one another so there wasn’t too much of a wait (often a week or two) but sometimes there was. I remember Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out in Japan and NA in Jan and March ‘08, but it didn’t come to the PAL regions until the last week of June - I was 11 and the wait was agonising! Knowing that people across the ocean were already playing it and I had to wait three months, reading online articles and watching gameplay footage on KZbin, it felt so unfair! Nowadays they’ve gotten pretty good at simultaneous worldwide rollouts, which is good. I suppose it makes it easier to advertise on the internet when there’s just one date. Also they don’t have to worry as much about TV conversions cause I think modern PAL TVs are more similar to their NTSC equivalents then they were in the past.

[@massivepileup]

Console gaming in the PAL era sucked so much, countless releases missing completely or coming many years late. And when you did get the games they usually had slower gameplay and wasted screen space.

[@Belzeboobies]

Mmm, this is a 100% shot in the dark, considering I've not played the game and neither have lived in the USA myself in those years, but could it be another SMB2 kind of deal? A difficulty that's maybe too high for american tastes of the time, and moreso if they were trying to curate games that were less like arcades and more "adventure-like", and build an image out of that? I mean they could've prepared the initial line-up and then thought "well, maybe this would be a bit outdated compared to what we have released so far". The hellish imagery from the last level was probably the reason, but I doubt it couldn't have been touched up a little. It was not a Devil's world deal. Oh well, I'm making a very uneducated guess here, so please pay me no mind.

[@carlbessettejr.9412]

Another "Probably in the comments somewhere, but I'll weigh in anyway:" I think NOA in 1987-1988 were also looking at the undertaking it would be to bring it to the US. Games that were 20 dollar disks in Japan needed to make sense as 40 dollar cartridges here, which was clearly demonstrated by SMB2J. It wasn't just a graphic tweak here or there to accommodate US audiences. It would be the removal of the save features and the remaking music and sound that used the FDS sound channels. In the end, the quick arcade action of Murasame probably didn't justify the labour in comparison to the other FDS classics of the "Class of '86".

[@duffman18]

In fact, the game is actually accurate to real life samurai in how they used weapons. Samurai in real life rarely used their katanas, their main weapon was the bow and arrow (and then later on they used guns, they were basically the first adopter of guns in the whole world as a standard weapon they all carried, because they were simply a more powerful version of the bow and arrow). Japanese swords were god awful quality. That's why they were only plan B weapons, if they enemy has managed to get close to you, you'd use the sword in a last desperate attempt to kill them. But yeah, Japanese ore was terrible, nowhere near as good as European ore. And Japanese forges were literally centuries behind European ones technologically, they couldn't get anywhere near hot enough to melt out impurities in the steel. This is why they had to invent the folding steel technique, which made sword making way more intensive and time consuming than it needed to be, but it was the only way to get a half decent sword out of the terrible ore and forges that Japan were stuck with If they hadn't been so xenophobic, and actually instead traded with other countries near them, they'd have found out how to make a modern forge that got hot enough, and also they'd have been able to trade for the high quality Indian ore that was used for Damascus steel, or something like that But because they refused to do all that, it meant that incredibly expensive katanas that only Lords (samurai) could afford, were only as good as the cheapest of cheap European swords that Europeans peasants owned. A good European sword could literally shatter a katana if they clashed. Katanas were that bad These days you can find Katanas made with good ore instead of Japanese ore. But not back then. That's why samurai never used their Katanas if they could help it. They were very much a last gasp attempt to kill the enemy, if they'd somehow managed to get close to you despite the barrage of the main weapon of the samurai, bow and arrow (or guns) So this game is accurate to real life, in that sense. Though maybe less so with other parts, like I'm pretty sure samurai couldn't shoot fireballs. Also the whole ninja thing isn't particularly accurate, not that it matters. But ninjas are pretty much a 20th century post-war Japan invention. Invented for movies, that's all. They did exist, but they didn't look like they do in popular media, they dressed to fit in and not be noticed, meaning they dressed like average people, not in all black which would have made them stand out. Also ninjas were usually peasant farmers, and they were for reconnaissance missions, not assassinations. As peasants, they weren't very good at killing lords who'd had warrior training their whole lives. That's also why the common weapons we see ninjas use in movies or games like shurikens and kunai are literally just farming equipment. Look at a kunai, it's literally a shovel that's been sharpened, that's all it is. Also ninjas and samurai weren't sworn enemies. Samurai lords often would actually _become_ ninjas, for a mission, if needed. It was a job description, not a way of life. The whole "ninja code" thing (and also the "samurai code" thing too) that is depicted in films, is entirely a 20th century fabrication. Samurai in particular were the furthest thing from honorable, they were mostly tyrannical lords who went round raping women and children, and stealing whatever they wanted from the peasants they controlled, on top of collecting taxes from them to make themselves even richer. The idea that they had a sense of honor is something invented for movies. The real history of Japan is more fascinating than the myth to be honest
