Pachinko 365 Nichi is one of those weirdly specific N64 games that somehow makes dropping little metal balls down a machine weirdly satisfying. The graphics are bright and loud, just like a real pachinko parlor—lots of flashing lights and that constant clatter of balls bouncing around. At first, I thought it’d be boring, but there’s something hypnotic about tweaking the plunger just right to send a ball into the high-scoring lanes.
There are a few different machines to pick from, each with their own quirks. One’s got these spinning wheels that can either save your run or wreck it, another’s packed with bumpers that send balls flying in unpredictable ways. It’s not deep, but if you’ve ever wanted to zone out with a pachinko sim that doesn’t ask much of you, this is it. Just don’t expect any life-changing revelations—it’s all about the clinks and clanks.
