Pretty sure the name of the bad guy in the Japanese cutscene was “Great Satan”, which is a pretty good indicator of why the localized version just removed the cutscenes entirely. Saves money on actually having to localize the game too.
Yes, Nintendo of America guidelines prevented any religious stuff in games back then, because they did not want to risk the wrath of outraged religious parents.

Where they came from? Who knows! WHere did they go? NOT producing games. It's an Arcade Game that is just FAR too fair. Arcade machines weren't cheap and they needed to make money. If a game is too fair, that means that the game isn't making money. I mean you have to pay for the game itself. Then you have the electricity cost. To say nothing of probably needing to sanitize it every so often. All with only making 25 cents at a time. If a game is too fair, then that makes it's taking you FAR longer to try to make up your investment, much less turn a profit. A game like this is better for the home market, where it would have done a lot better.

@@RavenheartIndustries at least the singer of Nickleback didn't have a psychotic break down from drug abuse and thought the CIA wanted him to assassinate the president
I like how nice the environment is and the great designs for the enemies. Yet, at the same time, the protagonist looks like the most generic character that grew out of the generic fields on the generic farm that’s in Genericville. He almost looks like he was based on some generic clip art of a cat.
I remember to have seen a cabinet of this game decades ago in a restourant here in Italy. Sadly I never seen anybody playing it since there were two fully fledged arcades with a bunch of more popular games at a 50 meters distance each.
This strikes home. First, one of the games I had on my SNES was Bubsy and I enjoyed a lot and played the shit out of it. Second, I love CCR, Beatles, Elvis... but Creed is my favorite band of all time
Well, I could definiteny see a 10/10 conversion of this game to a snes cartridge. Honestly, if u didn't mention it was for arcade, I'd totally assume it was actually for the snes...
Bubsy has always been one of my favorite SNES games and I've been playing and collecting SNES nonstop since the 90s. I'm pretty sure the negative rep Bubsy has is from a much later game on the PS1 called Bubsy 3D.
This seems like a fun and pretty game, and besides the color, the Magical Cat doesn't look that much like Bubsy imo. Kinda wish this were ported to home consoles, the lenient respawn fits it already. And your story summary gave me a good laugh xD thanks for a great start of my day. One weird nitpick about the art though: does the cat look like a cyclops to anyone else? I mean, the whole body is in a 3/4 view, including his muzzle and ears, but the (quite wide) eye is in side view. The hurt animation exagerates it even more (1:28).
If this wasn't japanese i would say someone tried to cash in the anthropomorphic animal craze and hoped this would sell enough to create a saturday morning cartoon out of it ^^ (Seems it was only someone's passion project and maybe got localized because it looked so much like Bugsy)
Only SNESDrunk would see Magical Cat Adventure, and said to himself, "I got to make a video on that." I bet it was all because he had that one Creed joke, and he had to force it into a video somehow.
Damn, didn't expect you to find this one. In some way, I see this game as one of the last of its kind similar to JJ Squawkers and Thunder Hoop of checkpoint-based arcade platformers so I find that there's some cache to that end. Speaking of Thunder Hoop, that would probably be one for you to check out given it was arguably the game that put Gaelco on the map in Spain
Snes wasn't widely available were I'm from, not to mention arcades, but I still got through a couple emulated games even before stumbling on your channel about a year ago. Your content is awesome! (and oddly relaxing lol)
This game looks like Sonic the hedgehog and Donkey Kong country like backgrounds. The cat boss looks like the Shadow of the Ninja skeleton boss. I also like videos that are longer than usual about bad games. That’s when you know the maters is gooood.
"It's like if you started a band and decided to deliberately rip off Creed." - I bark laughed at this. Anyway, great review of a really neat looking game.
I'm curious. How does one have fun with arcade game in freeplay mode? Genuine question because I'd like to play a lot of old arcade games like this but feel like without any punishment to losing there won't be any fun. Do you set a coin limit for yourself?
Jules 'Dutch' Krasner: Remote control. That's got to be it. That thing is runnin' by remote control. Listen. Listen, you guys. We gotta do something. I mean, something's wrong. Machine's just don't run by themselves. That means there's somebody else on this island. You know, foreign spies or something. Dennis Holvig: How 'bout a mad scientist?😅
Edit: oh I thought it was a snes game :/ Not familiar with bubsy but this looks interesting. Its neat that you cover some obscurities. I've been looking around for games where you cross lava pits, explore caves, and avoid booby traps in search of treasure etc and this seems like it would be that sorta thing.
According to Wikipedia, Bubsy wasn't even released in Japan until 1994, so I'd say it's pretty unlikely that a Japanese arcade game released in 1993 was influenced by Bubsy's design.
Sometimes I think about games where the company only had one game that came out of nowhere and the developer was never heard from again. The only other one I can think of at the moment is "Bio-mechanical Toy".
weird ass weapons...also how odd that company chose to randomly localize the game and nothing else. I can't imagine it cost them that much to bring it over, although since the game is pretty obscure, they probably didn't make much back...honestly feels/looks like it'd be a rando genesis/MD game you find in the bargain bin.
It is so unknown that even the PCB is not that expensive on eBay. The japanese version is quite rare and is the better one, it also has a better gameplay and adds a few more details in the backgrounds like the flying leaves in the first stage.
Wow... I've played that game like 20 times and never questioned how off that is. Guess they just didn't want to program something neutral. Like their system wasn't built for that... Maybe?
Sort of a mystery game. Cool. I bet there's a story. Like, it was developed by a single guy who was shaping up to be a star in the video game world but he mixed pop rocks with soda and died a tragic death. This is his only remaining legacy.

Japan loved simple stories. Like you need to collect candies and umbrellas.. Why? Because the literal Satan will come From THE VOID if you don't!

Ah Great Satan, a much more serious threat in conparison to Mediocre Satan or even Average Satan.
Or the Oddly honorable Satan in Devil went down to Georgia.

Nickleback is nowhere good enough for that comparison...

Creed and Nickleback....the 2 worst bands of all time.
This looks like a happy cat themed Castlevania, from the level setting to the bosses. Skeleton boss, cat Dracula , Shaft.
It's more Ghost'n'Goblins mixed with Sonic The Hedgehog IMHO
I like these kinds of games because they are a lot easier unless complicating, yet they are just so much fun.
Damn, your reply sure fits the latter half of your name.
Honestly, seeing this looks MUCH more fun then trying to beat Super Ghosts N Goblins! Plus it's MUCH cuter!

Name of villain in japanese version - Great Satan. No wonder they cut everything from western release.
I've never heard of this game but I would have loved it as a child.
RIGHT??
SNES Drunk narrating foreign language cutscenes is something I didn’t know I needed in life until right now.
I remember to have seen a cabinet of this game decades ago in a restourant here in Italy.
Sadly I never seen anybody playing it since there were two fully fledged arcades with a bunch of more popular games at a 50 meters distance each.
This looks like a decent Platformer. I'm surprised it never got a home port. Probably because there was an over abundance on mascots in the 90s
Maybe it will find it’s way to a retrocade type system one day.
I imagine less "Over abundance on mascots" and more "Failed Arcade that died because it was too easy and a poor investment for Arcade Owners"
We need a subreddit dedicated to Wintechno so we can all gather around and try to find the other games they made
Agreed

It's fairly common for arcade games to respawn you on the spot.
This is like a JP Bubsy in Ghouls 'n Ghosts world.
Beat em up's do it all the time.
Yeah, but the ones that do tend to be a lot harder.
This game is something you could beat with a limited amount of money, right from the start.

I’ve been playing this game for years. I find it to be a hidden gem on the arcade. It’s certainly fun and replayable.
Reading from that intro the antagonist's name is "Great Satan", huh.

If I remember correctly, the levels are also rearranged in the localized version.
For some reason I was thinking this was based on TV show, but I am thinking of Bonkers, and this isn't based on that show....

Wow... I've played that game like 20 times and never questioned how off that is. Guess they just didn't want to program something neutral. Like their system wasn't built for that... Maybe?
I think the treasure chest merely bumped you into the spike ball n chain, which then caused damage.
Thank you for what are you doing!
Right off the bat it reminds me of Ghosts'N'Goblins with cats, but easier.
I live in Japan an I vaguely remember seeing this game in the 2000s whern I was like 5, also @3:30 is that the Flatwoods Monster?
Looks like a cross between Earthworm Jim and Donkey Kong Country.
Looks like something that would be good re-released as a repro cart!
