PachiPara 13: Super Umi to Pachipro Fūunroku
PachPara 13 is one of the many titles in Irem’s long-running pachinko
simulation series. It features faithful 3D recreations of two pachinko
machines made by Sanyo Bussan: CR Super Umi Monogatari M55W and CR Super
Umi Monogatari M55X. There are two modes available: Ts ūjō (Normal) mode
allows the player to modify a wide range of settings for each machine, while
Jissen (Battle) mode challenges the player to win as many balls as possible on
the default settings with a limited starting pool and time limit. There is
also a View mode where the various animations that play on the in-game display
can be freely viewed.
The story mode this time is Pachi-Pro F ūunroku 5: Seishun-hen, set many
years after the previous title at the end of the Showa era. Choosing either a
male or female character, the player takes control of a recent high school
graduate who has just discovered a knack for pachinko. The game focuses on the
day-to-day life of a pachinko player, including practice and pachinko battles,
maintaining good health, and of course, dating.
