Darumeshi Sports Store details, footage
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Videos | 0 comments
Nintendo announced Darumeshi Sports Store during today’s Japanese Nintendo Direct today, and then subsequently released the game on the 3DS eShop. You can find details about the game below. There’s also an official site to check out here. We’ve rounded up the footage above.
– Free to play
– Play as your Mii
– First enter the Darumeshi Sports Store run by Inuji Darumeshi, a 10 year-old dog
– Players are welcomed and given a boiled egg, his favorite food, as a gift for coming to his store
– Inuji’s wife has left him and his store is failing
– Children don’t want to play baseball any longer and instead play inside
– Inuji went to Hotendo to get a “4DS” and some baseball games to sell
– Inuji figures kids will play baseball on their 4DS if nothing else
– Players are given a 4DS and a demo of one of his baseball games for listening
– Inuji talks about how hard it is raising ten kids without his wife around
– As a result, players look after one
– Kids’ names vary, but look the same
– Pick which kid you want
– Take the kid back to your home and play the baseball demo by climbing inside the 4DS and running along the cable to the TV
– Press “A” when the baseball comes
– Given points for your timing (one, two, or three points)
– If you reach three dead balls, it’s Game Over
– Each challenge requires a certain number of points to complete it
– Graded on your performance
– Earn stamps based on your performance
– Use stamps to earn items including boiled eggs and and nose hair trimmers
– 6 challenges in the demo
– 50 challenges in the “full game”
– Different types of challenge
– One challenge has two ball machines shooting at players
– Another was nothing but trick shots
– Each had 5 levels of difficulty
– Once practice is over the seemingly regular ball machines stand up and are effectively men dressed in full suits with the ball machines for heads
– Emerge from your 3DS when done with all challenges
– Magic or technology allows the items you collected in-game to be transferred to the real world
– Go back to the sports store and talk with Inuji
– He shows off his full collection of titles
– 10 in total
– Each is a variation on baseball
– Some are hitting, some catching, some aiming, some bat making
– Each game costs 400 yen
– Use real money to pay for these games
– Negotiate the price with the help of the child you picked
– Do this by using the boiled eggs you collected from getting stamps as well as the items
– Ex: let him use your nose hair trimmers to clear up his prominent nose hairs and get 100 yen off the price
– You can keep negotiating
– If you have enough items and patience you might even be able to get the game(s) for free, but not sure if this is actually possible
– The better you are at the games, the more stamps/items you would get and the more you would have to negotiate with
– Can also get coupons to get money off (10, 30, 50 yen)
– The game uses Chinese characters extensively and without readings,
– Intended for an older audience than most of their titles
– As does the story of Inuji’s separation and the fact that you could spend as much as 4,000 yen on the title getting all the games
– Spoken in a heavy Kansai dialect, which is very different to traditional Japanese taught in schools and colleges
– Language of Kyoto
– Beleaguered salesman with a Kansai accent is almost a trope in Japan
