If you like Japanese video games, you've come to the right place.
Hi, I'm Jimmy Hapa and this is Import Gaming FTW, a channel that is all about great Japanese video games!
I try to put out in-depth reviews and retrospectives that aim to generate interest in the game covered by exploring its history, story, gameplay features and legacy. I know "hidden gems" is thrown around a lot, but most of these games would fall under that category, in my humble opinion.
I have a second channel, the Import Gaming FTW Dump, where I upload old Japanese gaming media, mainly VHS tapes I've collected.
...and that's it. Thanks for stopping by, hope you'll make your way here again soon.

The Many Seaman Games in Japan | Part 1: The Sega Dreamcast
Seaman is one of the most beloved Dreamcast games, admired and remembered for its innovation, originality and just how much of a jerk the titular fishguy tended to be. In North America, the tale of Seaman began and ended with the 2000 Dreamcast release, but in Japan, it's a completely different story, with many more Seaman titles on the Dreamcast, Windows PC, mobile phones and the PlayStation 2, including a true Sequel, Seaman 2. This is part one of a larger look at all the wonderful Seaman goodness that never left Japanese shores. Keep an eye out for part two, as well as the entire video combining all parts in the future.

All that Christmas stuff was absolutely charming. Excellent video.
fantastic video as always. cant wait to see part 2!
Looks who got sober and decide to do a video 🥴
So HMV had the limited edition red seaman dreamcast consoles. If i had been in japan at the time i definitely would have grabbed that seaman console 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
wow had no idea Seaman had so many different releases! I knew about the original and the PS2 version, but the other variants are new to me! and not to mention two different special dreamcasts... I dig the red one! looking forward to part 2, though.
I just beat it again recently! The credits are something else
Love that Dusty Rhodes reference. May he rest in peace.
Huh, what did ever happen to Seaman?… 😜 Glad you’re around to answer these obscure questions! I had no clue that there were multiple games using this IP. Much more than I ever expected. Looking forward to the continuing Seaman saga!
L.O.L. music is awesome. Iaso Seaman disk isn't that expensive. I've had and sold a couple. There is one right now on Yahoo Jp ¥15,000
Dreamcast, the most innovative console of all time! I mean on which console you could talk to a "game" about life and stuff? Leonard Nemoy being the Western voice actor just fit so perfectly. It's quite insane how many original and groundbraking games Sega alone released in those 3 years. Not to mention all the third parties that did a tremendous job as well. Looking at you SoulCalibur, PowerStone, BorderDown etc. DC was pure gaming, pure intention, no strings attached:)
modern Japan is in a bit of a state, their only hope now is more Seaman.
What a nice video :) just found your channel. Will follow :) cheers from Sweden!
so cool that you've just uploaded this. i'm about three weeks into my first habitat. the game amazes me almost every session.
Quick story to share: My family used to run a local video game store. When I was around 8-10 years old, I was reading video game magazines and would try to help my family find trends of new games for us to order. The Dreamcast had been fairly popular at this time, the titles were selling well for our shop and I had read about Seaman. I thought the concept was really unique, so I convinced my family to make a fairly large order of them. Literally ALL OF THEM sat on the shelf, never touched or looked at. Not a single purchase, even newly boxed at $5. I got my own copy that I took home and still got unresolved trauma from watching the breeding sequence. TLDR; Never actually listen to kids.
Sega squirts what Nintendon't.
No PAL release was a crime. We love Seaman too.
0:38
Great video. I have a sealed Xenogears Fei set I bought in 2000. Was always surprised with the lack of footage/coverage these collections have received. Not even many photos existed of them just ten years ago.
I remember my mom told me that she remembers this game because my mom used to work at a toys R us! She saw it displayed on the Dreamcast section at the store!
If it's one thing Jimmy knows, it's Seaman.
I'm freaking delighted with the not-Spaniard and his not-aztec-maia-Jomun robot.
Damn!!! Who knew there was so much history behind Seaman
There's more to Seaman than meets the eye, but that's a conversation for adults. If you never checked out the Slope's Game Room episode on the History of Seaman, I highly recommend that one.
@@ImportGamingFTW naughty naughty 🤣 thanks, I’ll check it out
I appreciate putting Power Stone music at the beginning of the video. Played and thought it was underrated.
Hey, I'm glad you picked up on it! Classic tracks in that game, a classic Dreamcast/Naomi fighter!
Must not make jokes
The jokes write themselves.
@@ImportGamingFTW I heard you snickering while you read the intro .
Japanese consumer walks into Seaman restaurant. Japanese consumer: "I would like Seaman, please." Waiter: "Of course, valued customer! We'll start you off with a soup, a salad, complimentary bread, complimentary breadsticks, 17 appetizer platters, a 9-plate entrée - all prepared hibachi-style for your entertainment - and you can pick out however many desserts you want not only from our menu, but from the menu of any restaurant in the world. You can order anything from the bar for free, and all your drinks will be brought out in handmade glasses, with mosaics that depict you beating up everyone who gave you a hard time in school." Japanese consumer: "Wow! That's a lot of food! You guys really know how to treat somebody!" Waiter: "Silly me, I forgot to mention that you of course have access to the buffet as well! As an apology for my forgetfulness, we'll have a masseuse rub your back the entire time you're in our building!" American consumer walks into Seaman restaurant. American consumer: "I would like Seaman, please." Waiter shits on a plate. Waiter: "Enjoy. Idiot."
When you're hungry, a turd on a plate might just do the trick.
@@ImportGamingFTW Gonna have to agree to disagree on that one lol
@@fireflocs Me too, actually.
I used to play with my seaman all the time after school
I think a lot of us did--much like 1999/2000 when Seaman was released, the after school hours of our youth were a breeding ground for experimentation.
Hapa-San came back after going to family mart to get cigarettes to make a new IGFTW video? Didnt think it was possible but glad to see one after what feels like 10 years 😁
This time, papa did come home. And it's been like...uh, four months since my last upload...which may as well be 10 years in modern internet time. I'm going to have to make up for many missed Christmases, son.
I apologize Seaman, I wasn't familiar with your game
What Europe got :
I know, that sucks--but, well, at least there was importing and people making repros for PAL systems.
woooo
Holy moly, how have you been?!
Hell yeah! Here's to future little Jimmys!!
I need to find a good woman like you did, good sir. But I think there's something wrong with me. The video on Japanese Seamen might be a major indication of this.
@@ImportGamingFTW I believe in you. You'll punch that ticket eventually
@@ImportGamingFTW Just send that Christmas Seaman to the one!
Man, if you were in Japan at the time all these seaman releases must have been in your face.
Japan, Seaman, in your face...yup, that checks out.
Well all those Seaman releases would have been on your face at least cause you'd be the only one looking for them.
Really jamming Seaman down our throats like it's Pride Month.
interesting video, I have the OG version and that Christmas jam =)
Nice--I'd love to pick up the English version someday!
I’m always in awe of the care given to the presentation of older games. They went all out to promote something. Looking forward to the next part
It was still the "wild west" era of gaming back then, so much room for experimentation and creativity from truly talented people.
Yet the ironic twist here that is how Sega killed themselves off by slapping a stupid modem into Sega Dreamcast and compromising the hardware power and game development... because it was the beginning of the online gaming which started making less than mediocre quality games when you realize you cannot play the game experience unless you're connected online. Seaman was supposed to be offline game but it had some online features when the game didn't need that to be a good or great game.
@@apollosungod2819 I'd rather have everything altogether in one console than have to pay for it separately. I love that it came with a modem. It got people new to the internet into using it more regularly. Add that to the one year subscription to play Phantasy Star Online. Yeah it was money out of Sega's pocket, but everyone wanted it. Everyone was playing it.
I like the seamen games. Nothing wrong with that.
No judgment passed here.
Evening Jimmy how are you mate? I loved the Dreamcast which was one of my favorite Sega systems ever made! I'm hoping Sega will make a Dreamcast mini someday! I've never played Seaman but I did play Shenmue, Capcom vs. SNK & others.
Thanks, Scott--I'd love for a DC mini novelty console to come out someday.
Just wanted to say that the Christmas Seaman Dreamcast Console is my Holy Grail console. Yes there is one more console even rarer, however that red stuck out to me. Unfortunately the price is too high and I don't think it's coming down any time soon.
It's a really pretty color. I wonder which dreamcast I'll try getting eventually. Consoles in that era were so colorful and cool 😄
Yeah, I would have loved to pick the thing up when it was still a couple of hundred bucks a few years ago. Instead of picking that up, I would love to get one of those new colorful translucent shells that have popped up in recent years.
@@TeruteruBozusama I was a big fan of the pink Sakura Wars console--sold mine years ago, regret it. Whatever the color, hope you pick up a nice Dreamcast. That standard white model is still so slick, as long as it doesn't yellow on you too soon.
Christmas seaman is such a weird promotional idea. A game only for a week.
You have to think Vivarium was funded by some rich Saudi oil barons who just want to blow their cash on something fun or something. It sure doesn't seem like it would be a very sound financial investment for anyone trying to make a profit...but I'm so glad it went down.
Roommania music ftw!
Such great music in that one--I'm glad you picked up on it!
I also do enjoy the navy.
Sounds like Seaman exploded with popularity in the native market
Goemon coming back is what I want a lot.
Just finished this game. It's one that you will keep thinking about it after you finish it.
ender lilies!! my personal favorite detail is how the spirits perform actions for lily! it's nothing major, but i enjoy it all the same -- i'm a sucker for character analysis (the characters make the story after all), but there's not many scenes in the game where you see first hand how a character acts and reacts outside of battle (and there's only so much you can learn through the findings you get), so having this one thing to work off of for interpretations of the characters' personalities and their relationships with each other make me appreciate the game even more! like -- the way lily hangs off of one of julius' arms while he dashes? as if he's never learned how to handle a child properly? or how umbral knight moves forward slightly when he attacks? while lily stays in the back? that kind of thing?
In japan say soccer and not futbol? Anyways, i never knew there was a strategic parodious game ..
This is so cool, i own Translated copies of Tengai Makyou Zero and Oriental Blue. I also own the Japanese release of Tengai Makyou 4 on Saturn. This series is so awsome, its such a shame we never got official localizations of any of the games in the west
bro i skipped in randomly to 3:06 and my ears exploded
