Snatcher (Sega CD) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
943A playthrough of Konami's 1995 graphic adventure game for the Sega CD, Snatcher.
I drooled over the reviews in gaming magazines when Snatcher first came out, and finally had the chance to play it for the first time sometime in the late 90s. I've loved it ever since.
The atmosphere, the awesome art, the soundtrack, the story - Snatcher raised the bar in many ways in this remake of the original Japanese PC classic. The CD versions are also the only way to play the third act: the original PC88 and MSX2 games ended on a cliffhanger, so until the PC Engine version came out in 1992, the only way you could've experienced the full story would've been by playing its 1990 JRPG remake on the MSX2, known as SD Snatcher (linked below!)
There are so many classic moments in this game - I'll leave you to discover them for yourself. I hope you enjoy it. It's one helluva ride.
And if you are familiar with Hideo Kojima's work, you'll immediately recognize several of his hallmarks, including an insane amount of attention to world building, long winded cutscenes, and tons of references to popular movies.
The video is over seven hours long because I didn't rush through the game only picking the necessary options. The writing is awesome, and I wanted to make sure that I hit (at least) most of the unnecessary dialogue; it adds a great deal to the overall setting and character development.
I also made sure to include stuff like Neo Kobe Pizza, the ramen stand, the fortune teller, and all of the stuff from Jordan's data banks.
I arranged the main theme for original SNES hardware, too. If you'd like to check it out, it's right here: https://youtu.be/pS30zdbWy2k

(Please note that this is a brand new playthrough to replace my original video. It was not as complete this one, and its aspect ratio was incorrect, which bugged me to no end. All fixed now!)
