BS Fuurai no Shiren: Surara wo Sukue, Dai-1-wa

You might know this game under the Nintendo DS version “Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer”, which was the first version to have an English localization. However, it originally appeared on the Super Famicom – and has a Satellaview version.

This is Week 1. The gameplay should look familiar if you’ve played either the above mentioned game, or other “Mystery Dungeon” games. Particularly Dragon Quest Yangus, the Nightmare of Druaga, and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

Download Games: Rehashity.

I’m sure a few of you have noted my links, right?

I’ve been digging into the Satellaview History Museum And I saw on there a schedule showing a lot of game titles, I decided to look a few of them up, and it turns out a decent amount match a lot of common Super Famicom releases. I will post some videos of some specific ones here.

Note that these probably aren’t from the Satellaview-downloaded versions – I’m just going with gut instinct in believing these specific ones are the same as they are on cartridges. These ones I downloaded are apparently Tool-Assisted Speedruns.

アクトレイザー

Actraiser. This should be a well-known one to you guys.

スーパーボンバーマン２

Super Bomberman 2. Oddly enough, I didn’t note other “Super Bomberman” entries.

スーパー桃太郎電鉄2

“Super Momotarou Densetsu 2”. Apparently this is a series of party-style board games themed around the ol’ Japanese story.

キッドクラウンの クレイジーチェイス

“Kidd Clown’s Crazy Chase”. A peculiar Super Nintendo game.

More Satellaview Radio, now with Dragon Quest… IX?

I actually have a lot of this one.

this strange radio program is 伊集院光の怪電波発信基地

Google translates the name of the program as “Mysterious Phone Calls”. I’ve heard from some translators I work with that the actual meaning implies that it’s a prank phone call show, but it seems quite a bit more random in that.

In particular, a segment of the show is apparently a skit called “Dragon Quest IX”. Wait, isn’t that gonna be on the DS soon? Wow, how time flies….
