etc...

Post by: burningdoom on September 16, 2020, 12:52:58 pm: Cloud Master on Sega Master System. Very odd, and very Asian. But a fun little, simple shoot-em up.

To be honest, you could add the Katamari games to the list. Everything about those games just screams Japanese culture, from the style to the music to the items you pick up (daruma, onigiri, kaiju, tengu masks, etc)

Post by: dhaabi on September 16, 2020, 03:49:14 pm: For a laid-back and nostalgic look at Japanese rural life, Attack of the Friday Monsters: A Tokyo Tale, Boku no Natsuyasumi, Chulip, and Hokago Shounen are great examples.

Post by: vivigamer on September 21, 2020, 04:41:23 pm: I second this, Shenmue 1's Yokosuka is one of the most charming environments I've ever experienced within a game. The attention to detail with interactive NPC's is still to this day unmatched - Each NPC having their own back story and schedule for thin-game day. Also just being able to ask the NPC's questions that change depending on your story progression is so surprising - 90% of the time every NPC has an answer for the present story event at hand - The amount of dialogue recorded is astounding.

Shenmue II goes much further into chinese lore/mythology and is a blast to explore. While the NPC's lack the detail noted in the 1st game there is still plenty of interaction to be found.

Same with Shenmue III, while it lacks progression in narrative the settings and NPC's are very well made.
