Salve, my VGM listeners and welcome back to another VGM review of a pachinko game, known as Sankyo Fever 4, available for the PS1. To start off, I advise everyone to not participate in any gambling activity as it encourages you to bet more of your money instead of receiving more rewards in the end. It’s vice versa, to make it short. Starting with story mode, you’ll be challenging different gamblers to win various prizes offered for this mode. In addition, you can choose which gender to pick before moving into the gameplay itself. Simple as that. For free mode, you have the chance to enjoy playing three pachinko machines with no conflicts added here. Apparently, it has a crossover with Street Fighter as several famous characters were included in this game such as Ryu, Chun-Li, E. Honda, Blanka and the others. However, you won’t be able to play all of them due to their roles displayed as cameos only. This means they will be seen on the pachinko template screens while you’re playing the machines. I can’t say how Capcom actually agreed to this but I’ll let this slide.

Straight to the point, this track offers an intense build-up that fits well in any casino you’ll be visiting as nothing sparks an entire momentum of groove to enjoy with the excitement you have seen before. Reminds me of how a Sonic level might be able to capture the amplifying tune of Casino Park from Sonic Heroes with this track included. Gear up and have fun watching it! Therefore, I will give this a 7 out of 10 for this review. Thanks for listening and to quote a former professional assassin from The King of Fighters XI, “Whether you win or lose matters, but knowing what to do when it happens is important." [Oswald]
