Bishi Bashi Special

Product Information

Bishi Bashi is a game that I like because it's a prime example of how graphics mean nothing, it's gameplay that matters and I think anyone who's played Bishi Bashi will see what I mean.

In Japanese-exclusive Salaryman Champ, the three players are represented by three archetypical office workers. is an arcade Bishi Bashi game (Konami multiplayer minigame competition game) released on July 29th, 2009 exclusively in Japan. In both the arcade's Choose Your Game mode and the console version, this round is treated more like a normal minigame with score counters.While a couple of the early arcade machines received international releases, in the west the series is perhaps best known for the expanded re-release Bishi Bashi Special, released in 2000 for PlayStation.

Unlike Nintendo’s Mario Party or WarioWare, the minigames of Bishi Bashi tend to be unrelated to each other, lacking any consistent characters or storylines.

A few games is nothing but button bashing as you press any button as hard or as fast as you can and a driving game requires just a press of left and right to dodge the other cars (there are no corners to turn) but this doesn't affect anything for the truth is that Bishi Bashi is the perfect party game - end of story. is set to a relaxing background music with the players blowing up fireworks and the game's credits scrolling at the bottom of the screen. Party Game: The games are simple and primarily meant to be played against other players, with some machines allowing up to 4 players at the same time. A European edition titled Bishi Bashi Special was released in 2000 and compiles Bishi Bashi Special 1 and 2 on one disc, retitled Super Bishi Bashi and Hyper Bishi Bashi.There are many different mini-games on offer to enjoy and beat your friends at, nearly all of which involve something outrageous to be done. is very much like the first DanceDanceRevolution, but with the player avatars actually playing the said game. Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: In the earlier releases, the names of the minigames always end in exclamation marks. The arcade games support 1 to 6 players and the PlayStation game allows 1 to 3 players; the game will provide computer opponents if there are not enough players. After a few sequels, the first three titles were combined and ported to PlayStation under the title Bishi Bashi Special in 1998, with a sequel combining further two arcade releases following in the next year.

Each game in the compilation contains mini games, some are loosely based around arcade classics such as Breakout ("Car Destroyer) and Pac-Man ("Super Gulper"). Please Note: Despite our best efforts, we cannot guarantee that a particular machine is available at your chosen location, on a particular day. Unlike the arcade game, the ported minigames do not always use the red, green and blue buttons of the PlayStation joypad; "button bashing" minigames allow the player to use the analog sticks or the shoulder buttons as well as the regular buttons. Participation can be three simultaneous, up to eight people in multi-player mode supports multi-tap! Arcade-Perfect Port: The console ports are generally very faithful to the arcade originals, aided by the relatively simple 2D graphics.

Anna Pavlova and other penguins, such as Penta from Antarctic Adventure, can also be seen being grabbed by cranes from a pile of toys. The arcade game controls are very simple; each player is given a set of three large buttons: red, green and blue, positioned left, centre and right respectively. These include eating as much food as you can, catching the pieces of a burger, knocking down bowling pins with cars, shaking a can to see how far up it goes when launched and even shooting men out of a cannon onto the plates of a moving statue! Bishi Bashi could be thought of as a video game equivalent of a Variety Show, with the games finding humour in (mainly) Japanese culture, including parodies of other games and TV shows - or just by being plain weird.
