Nishijin Pachinko Monogatari

Nishijin Pachinko Monogatari ("Nishijin Pachinko Story") is a pachinko game and the first title of the Nishijin Pachinko franchise. It features both a freeplay mode, where the player can select a machine of their choice to practice on, and a story mode with its own protagonist and life simulation aspects. The game is named for and features virtual versions of machines produced by the Nishijin company: a real-like pachinko machine manufacturer. It follows the likes of Heiwa Pachinko World and Kyouraku – Sanyo – Toyomaru Parlor! Parlor! in creating a game based around the actual pachinko machines of specific manufacturers with the intent being to prepare players for the real thing. Nishijin Pachinko Monogatari was followed by two more sequels for the Super Famicom: Nishijin Pachinko Monogatari 2 and Nishijin Pachinko 3, both released in 1996. After that, the series would move onto the Sony PlayStation as Nishijin Pachinko Tengoku.
