Product Description
Wowie! Doshin the Giant is truly a unique experience you don't want to miss out on! In this game, you play as Doshin, a gigantic friendly giant who grows as you help the villagers. But beware, you can also transform into the malevolent Jashin if you perform destructive tasks. The gameplay is a blend of a god simulator and adventure game, allowing you to construct villages, redirect rivers, and create mountains. The game was developed by Param and originally released for the
Nintendo 64DD in Japan, but fortunately, we in Europe can enjoy the
Nintendo GameCube version. Fantastic!
Historical Context
Doshin the Giant was first released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64DD, a rare and poorly sold platform. The game quickly gained a cult status, leading to a reissue for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. The GameCube version brought enhanced graphics and a broader audience, significantly increasing the game's popularity. It remains a unique piece of Nintendo history, especially as one of the few titles to transition from the 64DD to the GameCube.

Tips and secrets, cheats and codes
3 tips: 3 SecretsSecrets:
How can I create a disaster plan?

Sometimes the villages are hit by a natural disaster in Doshin the Giant. If you act quickly, you can still do something about it.
Fire: Stamp out the fire with your feet, or lower the land until it turns into water.
Rain cloud: The rain cloud will burst apart if you jump against it a few times. Transform into Jashin the hate giant because he can jump higher.
Tornado: A tornado cannot pass over mountains. If you act in time, quickly create a mountain around the village.
Volcano: It's important not to stand on the volcano (you'll be blown away), but stay near the top and try to crush the stones rolling down before they cause damage.
Secrets:
How can I run faster by transforming into Jashin the hate giant and holding down the B button?

Are you also moving so slowly? Transform into Jashin the hate giant and you can fly by holding down the B button.
Secrets:
How can I quickly transport a flower to another village on an island?
| MarioCube |
| 9 jaar |
Does a village all the way on the other side of the island need the flower? Place the flower on a barren piece of land in Doshin the Giant. It will wither there. Fly with Jashin to the village that needed the flower and create a new flower there by collecting trees. This is often much faster than having to walk all the way.
