Published by SEGA and released in late 1995, X Japan Virtual Shock 001 can best be described as an FMV walking simulator where the player takes on the role of a photographer.
Your task is to take pictures and short video clips of the bandmates of X Japan, a real Japanese band, and piece together a promotional video for the band. The game is simple and the draw, of course, is the tie-in with the band.
Somewhat reminiscent of Digital Pictures’ SEGA CD ‘make my own video’ games, this particular title is an excellent slice of mid-90s Japan Saturn gaming that, understandably, never made it out west.
