Sushi Bar - tasty puzzle action in this Atomiswave to Dreamcast port
0I hope you are all healthy and safe wherever you are in the World right now and whatever challenges you are facing.
A special thanks to Megavolt85 and the other developers that made this possible! This particular game was ported by YZB. Thank you!
I am a huge fan of the Sega Dreamcast and always felt it could have competed on a technical front much longer than it did - Sega discontinuing it for financial reasons in 2001 although games continue to be released long after.
Sammy used the hardware to power their Atomiswave arcade hardware as the power to cost was fantastic. Around 20 to 30 games were released for the Atomiswave hardware, mostly between 2003 and 2005, and many of them remained exclusively locked to the hardware despite the similarity in specs.....until a clever developer called Megavolt85 managed in 2020 to port them to run on Dreamcast meaning around 20-30 new titles for the hardware.
This is Sushi Bar by Sammy.
It's a fairly straight Puzzle game similar to other entries where you need to rotate and match 4 (or more) of a particular item to make it disappear. It is a lot like a combination of Columns and Money Idol Exchange or Puzzle Link. Choice of characters although I'm not too sure if these impact gameplay too much. Nice clear graphics help to keep track of everything and the music is sure to bury it's way into your head :-)
This is my first ever play & it seems simple enough to pick up. Likely lots of fun in 2 player mode. This would have been a solid Dreamcast release as it is always good to have more solid puzzle games in a consoles library. Potential of online play would be cool too.
Also - let me know what you think. Would you prefer the load times and screens to be edited out? I kinda like the "full experience" approach and to let the game or promo video or whatever to speak for itself but let me know feedback. I'm keen to experiment.
I'm also sorting my loft and finding all sorts of obscurities, oddities and nice games from my collection so I'll be doing some random vids. Let me know if there is a console or game you'd like to see. Let me know if there are any games or consoles you'd like videos about. Let me know if you like the format (i.e. no voiceover and the addition of short facts). Want End Cards added to point out other similar videos? I'm just trying things really.
As always game is played on original hardware - no emulation etc This is played via Dreamcast via VGA.
As always if you enjoy this video let me know.
