It's a really good series, but every other week someone posts it here and it dies really fast. I guess there isn't a whole lot to discuss about it

Huh, it was made by the Legend of Legaia people.

What makes Boku no Natsuyasumi so good? I just finished Tomato Adventure (really good but GBA so not retro) and I'm looking for something new that's not terribly challenging.

I can't read jap, but if you know a little bit you can probably deduce what people talk about in the game.
I played through half of the game like that and enjoyed it a lot.

Can you actually pause between dialouge bubbles in this game? Tried the game a year ago but it was moving too fast for me to understand what they were saying. I watched a couple of youtube videos because of this thread and I understood quite alot when I got to pause in between the sentences.

[Anonymous No.5169171]

>>5169145
From what I remember, if you let the dialogue play by itself, it will follow the speed of the voice over. If you press the button to skip, you'll cut the voice short and gain control of skipping text only when you want to.

is it just me, or is there something really fucked up about a video game about summer vacations?

[Anonymous No.5169338]

>>5169273
Just you, probably.
The western equivalent would probably be winter vacation, where you spend 30 days playing with other kids, playing in the snow and such. Or whatever it is the cliché.

Fascinating title.

[Anonymous No.5171675]

Blue Breaker: Egao no Yakusoku (PS1)

That one would be a really long and tedious work, though cause this game is like 90% VA + text. Not to mention translating all the special events for each girl and secret characters, after completing the main game's goal.

or those two action-fighting sequels
>Blue Breaker Burst: Hohoemi wo Anata to (PS1)
>Blue Breaker Burst: Egao no Asu ni (PS1)

Both are much shorter than the predecessor, but has lots of references to it and continues the game with a new lead in the story mode.

Rakugaki Showtime (pic related) and Super Tempo (Sega Saturn game i already mentioned in a previous thread days ago).
Honestly would rather want to see the latter being translated, since not only are the cutscenes full of text, but also to aid some newbies with the quiz level.

Just started Shachou Eiyuuden. It's a PSX JRPG aimed at the Chinese-speaking market which was released pretty late in the console's life. The combat is like a martial arts film in JRPG form. It's pretty decent so far but the random battles are a little too frequent and long for my tastes.

nope. the series has a dumb mostly online cult following, but especially mother 3 isn't overrated. famitsu gave it a reasonable 35/40. overlooked if anything.

Very few of these have English Wikipedia pages. Some even lack JP Wikipedia pages. And if they do have them, they're poorly developed.

Because they're not good games. Only autistic people care more about the obscurity of a game than the actual quality of content.

In the tradition of most JP exclusives, it's not really that great. The graphics are jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but the gameplay is slow and a bit boring, and the story isn't that big of a payoff.

Some developers really used the Playstation's power to simulate reality. Boku no Natsuyasumi is a fantastic example of this, simulating a young boy's summer vacation in the Japanese countryside in the '70s. There is gameplay but the real fun is exploring and interacting with the other characters.

Here are some imports I've enjoyed recently. Collecting fifth gen has become cost prohibitive but there's still a few good deals if you collect Japanese titles.

Incidentally, I posted this mosaic on /v/ asking for recommendations similar to these imports as I enjoyed them very much and the only response was "are these games even good"?

No, I'd only make a mosaic and spend time searching images for things I don't like.

[Anonymous No.5180097]

>are these games even good?
That's why you don't post on /v/.

I love collecting imports, and just recently got into PSX imports. Suzuki Bakuhatsu looks really fun but I wanna clear my backlog before spending more money.
