i remember seeing this image posted here a few months back, but nobody was able to find a source. so, anyone know yet?

[Anonymous No.2038253]

>>2038247
I remember this, I hope he found it too. I recall seeing the thread on /v/ first and I suggested he ask /vr/ for help instead. Now that you bring it up, I'm dying to know what it is too.

[Anonymous No.2038258]

>>2038253
someone said the image suggests something beta/cancelled. i'm trying to search for "balloon protagonist" and stuff like that but no such luck

[Anonymous No.2038259]

those levels look so, so cool. what system do you think it was meant for?

Looks like N64 graphics to me

[Anonymous No.2038504]

Looks fucking awesome.

[Anonymous No.2038518]

The bottom right image looks like that famous Japanese painting ,sweet

[Anonymous No.2038519]

Being blunt for a minute, the only way you're going to find it out is by looking through scans of old N64 magazines.

[Anonymous No.2038984]

I wanna play it.

[Anonymous No.2039338]

I need it

Does the character design look familiar to ANYONE?

[Anonymous No.2039343]

>>2039338
It does, but I don't know from where.
Is this a conspiracy?

[Anonymous No.2039693]

Someone will get a source eventually...right?

[Anonymous No.2039917]

Looks like some kind of track shooter for the 64 or PS. Maybe even the Saturn? Bottom right level looks like it would have been cool.

[Anonymous No.2039926]

>>2039338

reminds me of a mixture of Lomax and the guy from Gussun Oyoyo

[Anonymous No.2039972]

i'm certain an avid fan or member of unseen64 would know

[Anonymous No.2039989]

Wouldn't be surprised if those are simple mock-ups. Also seems like it uses the Banjo engine or mario64

>Also seems like it uses the Banjo engine or mario64
I don't think proprietary stuff like that just gets handed out

[Anonymous No.2040020]

Well, I shot off an email to the Unseen64 staff, so let's hope for something in the next couple of weeks. Will keep /vr/ posted

Jesus I haven't seen that pic in ages. Is that horrible man still alive?

[Anonymous No.2040029]

>>2040025
Why is he horrible?

[Anonymous No.2040036]

>>2040020
not OP but thank you, I hate messaging folks about trivial stuff because I always feel rude.

try messaging the unseen64 youtube channel also

[Anonymous No.2040041]

>>2040029
Just look at him,

[Anonymous No.2040043]

>>2038247
That reminds me more of those oldschool Sega sprite pushers, like galaxy force II or power drift.

oh

The OST looks comfy as fuck

[Anonymous No.2041205]

>>2040961
totally thought it was a n64 game by the original pictures posted

[Anonymous No.2041324]

>>2040961
Wow this game looks so kawaii~. I can barely find any info about it from google. I am downloading the bin cue I found and Im going to try it out. 1997 had so many charming games like this.

[Anonymous No.2041326]

[Anonymous No.2041443]

So I am really enjoying the music in this game. The controls are a little hard to adjust to (helps to mash the d-pad). The balloon guy moves really slow and so far I can only hit enemies with his short range weapon like tennis (knocking enemies into other enemies for combos). Really good pre rendered graphics and sprite scaling. Thanks for finding this cool game /vr/.

[Anonymous No.2041569]

>>2041443

Can you post the link where you found the bin cue please? :3

This french site has a lot of obscure japanese ps1 games.

That whole Seanbaby article was hilarious.

[Anonymous No.2041601]

So Japanese PS1 thread? Any games that don't need much or any Japanese reading to play?

I can think of Harmful Park and Hermie Hopperhead

[Anonymous No.2041602]

Didn't mean to link to that. Here's the Seanbaby Mark Discordia thing:

There are a ton of exclusive japanese ps1 games. Usually any game that is not a jrpg is totally playable. Here are a few.

Wow awesome, thanks for the recommendations.

[Anonymous No.2042397]

>>2040025
wtf he's having fun with his favorite game don't be such a wanker

[Anonymous No.2042761]

>>2042013
Unfortunately, Mizzurna falls is completely indecipherable without Japanese fluency so it becomes a game of "Drive this VW bug around this town and try to stay amazed that this game is technically possible on a PS1 while hoping against hope that you'll figure out how to trigger a story event"

Also check out
Gungage (Free roaming Space Harrier)
GeGeGe No Kitarou (Chibi-Goth platformer - way hard)
Blade Arts (Tomb Raider with a dude who finds a magic sword)
Iru! (First person horror game in a school or some shit)
Enigma (Another mystery gamethat's pretty Japanese intensive)
Fox Junction (Mecha game kind of similar to Virtual On)

I had to Google to remember the name of Fox Junction and came on this page of recommended J-exclusive Playstation games.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/top10/2743-the-top-10-psx-japan-only-games-you-may-not-know-mecha-amp

The author obviously is a robot-junkie but there are some games on there I was unaware of so you might want to check 'em out.

[Anonymous No.2042780]

>>2042761

I really enjoyed Gungage, though I wouldn't call it "good". I enjoyed it despite itself, really. One of those games where I wouldn't be shocked if someone else totally hated it, or thought it was average. I just took to it.

[Anonymous No.2042783]

>>2042780

Actually, re-watching some YouTube videos, I probably just loved the awesome soundtrack.

Also, in contender for "worst name in anything ever", the first playable character is called Wakle Skade. The hell is a Wakle?

[Anonymous No.2042921]

>>2042761
Nice selection of games. I think I have read that gamefaqs list before too. I find a lot of obscure games through this.
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/system.htm#psx
That GeGeGe No Kitarou game came out in 2003 wow I forgot how long the ps1 lasted for. But that helped me remember about this game.
The Rapid Angel
I haven't tried it yet but it looks like a fun platformer.

Kind of reminds me of Bubsy...

[Anonymous No.2043028]

>>2043020
Why Bubsy?? The games full title is Kaisoku Tenshi (快速天使): High Tension Comical Action Game so it does have comical moments.

[Anonymous No.2043074]

This intro for this game is fucking amazing.
