excuse me I must proclaim the full title

DAIVA STORY 6 IMPERIAL OF NIRSARTIA

I didn't realize there was one Daiva Story much less six

Got to admit, this is an interesting group. A reskin of a game already on the service, a series where every game is on a different system, and the single most important video game in copyright law history.

More important than Donkey Kong?

I think so. Nintendo winning against Universal was a huge boon for Nintendo and the console industry, but Data East winning against Capcom essentially meant that tropes weren't copyrightable. If Capcom wins, the very concept of clone games and "-likes" might not exist. (Obviously, I am not a lawyer, and this is just a very loose interpretation.)

I swear "DAIVA STORY 6 IMPERIAL OF NIRSARTIA" sounds like a made up game. Where the fuck do they dig these things up? Dear god.

Holy Daiva! You've been down too long in... complete obscurity

oh good the worst kirby game

Kirbys avalanche rules so thats neat

what the duck is Daiva Story

hiw did a series reach 6 games on NES without it being well known
the series doesnt even have its own Wikipedia entry

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/games/franchise/2215-daiva-story
Each on a different system
1-5 all released in 1987
All different perspectives on the same story?

"DAIVA Story 6: Imperial of Nirsartia is the sixth part of a seven part series developed by Toshiba EMI. The series is not a collection of sequential stories, but rather a presentation of the same story from seven different perspectives. Billed as an "Active Simulation War", each game has the player direct a different protagonist (or "hero") through a galactic war. In most versions, the player must travel from planet to planet, defeating enemy defense armadas, and then storming the planet in a mobile attack suit, destroying as much of the planet's defense systems as possible, all in an effort to take over the planet."

"When designing the Famicom version of the game, Toshiba EMI took the system's capabilities, as well as it younger market audience, in to account. The game has been considerably simplified compared to its computer counterparts. Before starting an action sequence, the player is allowed to place three power-ups along a map of the stage. When the player reaches these designated locations, the specified power-up will fall from the sky for the player to collect. The game concludes when the player locates and conquers two specific planets; the Vuritora manufacturing planet, and Nirsartia."

Daiva Story 6's only guide on this site is written by a b8er, even!

wait you control a Gundam in this game?

How have I never heard of Kirby's Avalanche

It was a US only title

Japan got Kirby Super Star Stacker instead which never came out in the US
