Famicom Detective Club The Missing Heir Switch Free Download Have you ever wondered what attracts people to the detective genre the most? It seems to us that the basis is an intrigue that persists throughout the entire work, the core of which is unpredictability. Nothing tickles our senses more than sudden incidents on the way to approaching the truth. ROMSLAB.COM  Best Switch Games

A series of visual novels Famicom Detective Club of the Nintendo , the creator of the first scenario work Metroid Yoshio Sakamoto , has been a mystery to Western audiences for 30 years. Thanks to the efforts of the Japanese company Mages , which acted under the supervision of key platform employees responsible for the original works, we received a remake of two games from the eighties on Switch , which we will review today.

At a glance, a gamer tempted with the non-linear narrative of modern visual novels, the absence of root in the Famicom Detective Club may seem like a miscalculation of the developers, but in fact the opposite is true. Otherwise, the storytelling would not work, and the storyline would not seem coherent. Indeed, in the final analysis, it is the absence of pianos from the bushes and the strong presentation of the plot that characterize a high-quality detective story.

History Lesson Touches You

I know it’s a rupture, but even in this review , the history lesson touches you , important for contextualizing the game . Because Dragon Quest is not the only reason Yuji Horii will be remembered over the centuries as a god of game design, given that the success of the roleplaying game that at home makes you tremble with fear Final Fantasy must share the honors with another heavyweight.

Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken (The case of the serial murder of Portopia) comes out in 1983 for PC-6001 and a generation of Japanese turns into an army of investigators thanks to a first-person mystery capable of magnetizing the attention of a people, so much so that the phrase 犯人 は ヤ ス (which I don’t translate: may it never ruin the ending of a game released almost forty years ago!) has rightfully entered among the idiomatic expressions of the Rising Sun.

Hell, in hindsight, the plot twist linked to Persona 4’s villain is a clear homage to Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken! It is the game that distracted Kojima from the desire to become a director at all costs by showing him the potential of video games, as well as the template on which an infinite number of adventures were born. Do you know which genre the first video game dedicated to Kenshiro, released in 1986, belongs to? That’s right, this is not a fighting game, but yet another attempt to emulate Horii’s creature, with text and illustrations instead of punches and kicks in real time!

A HARD HERITAGE TO COLLECT

The version of Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken for Famicom obviously couldn’t use the keyboard, so a particular parser was developed with which to select the actions with the joypad, an intuition that generated the predictable army of clones starting from Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima for Famicom Disk System; on the same platform Nintendo published in 1988 the first chapter of Famicom Tantei (detective) Club , or Portopia at the height of a kid. The protagonist is in fact a very young investigator affiliated with the Utsugi agency, obviously suffering from amnesia. Luigi’s Mansion 3 Switch NSP

Beyond the narrative expedient, a foregone conclusion, the game turns out to be a great success, so much so that the first “case” is followed by a second episode published the following year which narrates the first meeting between the anonymous protagonist and the same Utsugi, then re-proposed on Super Famicom with a new graphic design on the Nintendo Power rewritable cartridge system and followed by a “forgotten” chapter on Satellaview, with the subtitle Yumi no Kieta Kato (The past that disappeared in the snow).

IGN Review

Nintendo consoles have always been a breeding ground for investigative games. The first that come to mind are obviously those belonging to the sagas of Professor Layton and Ace Attorney, but it is also worth mentioning the excellent productions of Cing, from the beautiful Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Last Window, to the two suggestive chapters of Another Code. Over the years we find a myriad of videogame derivations from the novels of Agatha Christie, the adventures of Sherlock Holmes or the television seasons of CSI. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch NSP

Digging deeper into Nintendo’s past, two adventures belonging to the Famicom Detective Club vein recently resurfaced , so far stuck in Japanese borders and ready to land for the first time in Europe in the remakes of The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind.

The first game dates back to 1988, the year in which it was released on Famicom before being included together with its prequel (released a year later) in collections for Wii, Wii U and 3DS. Now both titles arrive in an unreleased version, with totally renewed graphics and refined gameplay to exploit at least in part the peculiar characteristics of the Nintendo hybrid console.
