Katamari damacy rom game cube12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() I’ve also got the demo disc for Yakuza 2 on hand, which I’ll probably have uploaded soon enough. I’ve never played the original Yakuza, so I couldn’t tell you what all is different in this version, but if nothing else, hopefully this serves as a decent nostalgia trip for series fans. There’s some very light sidequesting and shop exploration you can engage in, too, but it’s a pretty linear experience all around and a lot of Kamurocho is blocked off. For those familiar with the story, the demo lets you experience the moments leading up to your first encounter with the Stardust host club and the initial fighting that takes place inside it. The story segment itself is roughly half pre-rendered cutscenes that you can skip and half typical Yakuza gameplay that you can get a decent 10-15 minutes of playtime out of. For those who don’t read Japanese, here’s the breakdown of choices in order of appearance: Indeed, after telling the game you’re 18 or older (seriously, it asks you this when you press Start) and starting the demo proper, you’ll almost immediately have a forced NPC conversation that gives you a lot of options to choose from in terms of what to play. Created a few months before its official retail release, at least judging by the file creation dates, this is actually one of the beefier demos I’ve played in quite some time in terms of the sheer diversity of things you can actually sample. The GBA emulator used to run WarioWare seems a little prone to crashing spontaneously, but should otherwise only boot you to the main menu rather than break Dolphin outright if that happens, at least in my experience.Ĭontinuing down along the Japanese PS2 demo disc backlog, tonight I present the demo for the very first Yakuza game. Beyond that, the demos themselves should all run fine. Barring a kind soul recording them manually, the only way to see this footage is by running the disc on real GameCube or Wii hardware. WarioWare (bottom right button on the main menu)Īs with the Club Nintendo disc, the videos are unfortunately not viewable on Dolphin.Sonic Adventure DX (a handful of GBA minigames are also downloadable if you have a GBA cable handy or presumably know how to emulate that functionality in Dolphin).Playable Demos (search for the word 体験版 for the demo): All of the main goodies worth checking out are front and center in the main menu, but for those of you who can’t read Japanese, here’s the general breakdown: Released in 2003 as part of the Japanese Enjoy Plus pack, which bundled the GameCube and GBA Player together into one retail package, like the Club Nintendo disc I’ve released previously on here, this disc essentially compiles a few playable demos, a handful of trailers, and a catalog of GameCube games that had been released up until that point. Case in point is this release, the verbosely named Nintendo GameCube Soft eCatalog 2003 Enjoy Plus-hen. As a fan of the system myself, I wish these weren’t so far and few between compared to other systems, but you take what you can get. Release: Nintendo GameCube Soft eCatalog 2003 Enjoy Plus-hen (DL-DOL-D55J-DIS)Īnother proper Japanese GameCube demo disc at long last.
