trajano's Journal: New game idea: Bishi Bashi Excel

After going through an Excel Saga marathon. I was thinking what would be a good game genre to implement with this.

I was thinking of creating a party game similar to bishi bashi special. With a few exceptions, it will use characters and voices from excel saga.

Design the games to be multitap compatible. So maximum of 5 characters (8 characters would probably crowd the screen too much). Perhaps 4 to allow for different consoles.

Have originally 5 characters

Excel
Hyatt
+ the 3 guys

Then have a few hidden characters that can be unlocked

• Pedro
• That Guy that pedro goes against
• Nabeshin
• Menchi
• Il Palazzo
• Ropponmatsu
• The other girl
• Rikdo
• Puchu
• The guy with the mustache
• The great will

Each character will have at least two costumes. Plus the girls will have swimsuit option ;P

The intro would be something like Rikdo playing the bishi bashi game and authorizing Excel Saga to be converted to a party video game.

There will be few game modes.

• Board mode -- i'll elaborate on this in a sec
• Free mode -- you are free to choose whatever game and what ever number of players
• Tournament mode -- for several players tournament style for large parties

It will have on-line play and ladder support.

It will have a selection called random game, but there will be an option in the options screen to only allow random select.

There will be a gallery of excel stuff, if you unlock all of it, that means you have unlocked all the game features.

There will be a password feature to unlock some of the options and characters, but they will not add to your gallery. This will prevent FAQing.

If you complete the gallery you will get the full ending and intro.

We'll have the following games.

• jumping over different colored puchus.
• spraying puchucide on puchus running around like cockroaches
• Excel falling down the pit and things flash by, select the right image.
• Coca Cola can attached to the backs of each character and they shake like crazy then launch. see who gets the highest and hits the moon.
• Everyone drives a mini car and tries to hit menchi (of course menchi stays alive because he just gets bounced around).
• Safe cracking
• Avoid the green yakult (mixing up game)
• Go across the buildings while hiding behind a sign, avoiding workers in the building
• Play question and answer but with the style of a dating game
• Bowling, but deflecting bombs to hit the pins.
• Fight injustice by attacking people that litter
• Play with traps to get the other people caught but not yourself
• Be a traffic safety coordinator and make sure that the traffic stomps your opponents but not you.
• Puchu Zero (ala Enemy Zero): avoid the puchu queens, but kill all the small puchus while trying to reach the middle. You will hear beeps when the puchu queen is close by and its dark except for flash lights.
• Domino fall, make your dominos stay up while making your opponents' dominos fall.
• Love Love Excel Puzzle. Matching puzzle game similar to puzzle fighter, uses the heads of the characters, chains like Excel -> Il Palazzo -> Hyatt, doubles like Il Palazzo -> Hyatt

  The board game basically puts in a plot for each character set and the game shows a story before every game block. We roll a dice, of course its some psycho dice that may yield 10 in one die.
