Daikatana
An original adaptation of John Romero's Daikatana with unique gameplay differences, developed by Kemco for the Nintendo 64.
Daikatana is similar to the PC version in terms of gameplay, but the game itself is very different. It plays one repeating music track per era, weapons can be carried through different eras, and it had a lot of fogging and low framerate along with low resolutions to make up for performance in its large areas, despite the expansion pak.
This was due to the game being on a Nintendo system, to prevent pointless slaughter, despite the game already being rated M.

About This Game
In 2455 AD, Kage Hishima used the magical sword Daikatana — the most powerful weapon ever forged — to alter the course of history and install himself as supreme ruler. Hiro Miyamoto is one of the few people who remember what time looked like before Hishima changed it. The burden of restoring the original timeline has fallen to Hiro, who travels with his companions Superfly Johnson and Mikiko Ebihara across different historical eras — gathering weapons, uncovering secrets, and fighting a bewildering variety of enemies — to reach Hishima and undo what was done.
