![Star Wars (Famicom) Playthrough [English]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bIiMa7wcsXM/mqdefault.jpg "Star Wars (Famicom) Playthrough [English]
A playthrough of Namcos 1987 license-based platformer for the Nintendo Famicom, Star Wars.
Played on the pro difficulty.
The game was only released in Japan, so Ive translated all of the text for this video.
Namcos Star Wars was the first of two games for the platform to be based on Episode IV: A New Hope. The second, published by JVC, was released worldwide in 1991 (https://youtu.be/mam1oj4pkRE).
The Namco game doesnt stick to the plot of the movie, but thats what makes it such a fun oddity. You fight a parade of weird Darth Vader imposters (like a scorpion, a pteradactyl skeleton, a prehistoric shark, and a wampa), visit planets that you didnt get to see in the movie (including Kessel, Iskalon, Yavin, and Hoth, which has been renamed Tina), and gain the ability to fly and to create personal deflector shields by collecting crystals that increase your Force power.
Its not held in as high a regard as the JVC game, but Namcos Star Wars is good. Its simpler and more old-fashioned on account of its being four years older and its predating the development of the NESs more advanced memory mappers, but the controls are solid, the gameplay is challenging but fair, the graphics are clean and colorful, and the 8-bit renditions of the movies iconic themes are sure to bring a smile to your face.
This version of Star Wars is stuck living in the shadow of its flashier successor, but its a worthwhile arcade-style platformer that reflects Namcos reputation for making high-quality games, and I love how eccentrically Japanese it is.
How could anyone say no to a Scorpion Vader who refers to himself as oresama?
