Final Fantasy X1 by Shenzhenshihenggekejidianziyouxiangongsi [Erm...Henggedianzi] (Famicom)

EDIT: This video, like my previous ones, has the audio channeled to the left speaker only, so look out. I fixed this with later videos, and may redo these older ones with better sync/audio.

I was going to post a Naruto RPG video, but every time I uploaded it to Youtube, the audio would be screwed up, so you get this instead! This took me like a week to finally get up. Ugh.

Jesus, that's a huge name! It's actually another/full name of Henggedianzi, who made some Chinese games like Si Lu Chuan Qi. Anyway, this is a re-release of their Final Fantasy IV game. It's not that bad of a game, seeing as it's playable. The packaging for this game as well as the cart is very similar in quality and form to Shenzhen Nanjing's, except the cart is blue and there's no mention of a company anywhere, not even in the manual. Hmm...

NOTE: The game is being played on a Power Joy, a knockoff Famicom system, which plays the game's audio differently than how it should sound. It switches two audio channels with each other and has higher volume for the noise channel (for bass, drumbeats, etc.) so it's not the game being different or anything. I'll put up a video eventually detailing this famiclone and another one, the Good Boy system's emulation (sound is most noticeable with Super Mario Bros. 3)

A tip. Next time double the audio up to make it stereo. Seriously, it can kill my left ear. XD Henggedianzi... hmm, now they ripoff Nanjing? Isn't this the THREE-CART version of the game?

@SpaceNinja88 Three-cart version? I think I remember Shenzhen Nanjing making another Final Fantasy game, probably FFIV. Don't know too much about it, though. Oh, and sorry about the audio. My capture device just captures the sound that way...I fix it up for the next video.

Interesting. Doesn't seem to use Shenzhen Nanjing's favorite sound engine, but it does use the same Family Basic font.

Incidentally, I seem to recall that Henggedianzi is notorious for having ripped off some of Waixing's games. (Who knew, a pirate pirating a pirate? Heh...)

@codeman38 The unlicensed industry, especially in Asia, seems to be a big free-for-all. I know that Waixing, Shenzhen, and Vast Fame all shared the same Digimon RPG (The original likely made by Vast Fame) and I own a bootleg cart of Thunder Blast Man with no title (I think it's labeled as Rockman DX5 or something on Taobao.)

[SpaceNinja88]

There is another company in Shenzhen, they made X-1, X-2 and X-3... And yes, SNT did FF4. Beat it.

And yep. Henggedianzi put out not just one, but *two*, hacks of Waixing Zhan Shi (a.k.a. Waixing's Phantasy Star port), "Xing He Zhan Shi" and "Xing Zhan Qing Yuan". Wow.
