  • Full playthrough / longplay of Tech Romancer as the hidden character Jin Saotome and Blodia II from Cyberbots. This is a rare example of a Capcom fighting game that only runs at 30fps and the mecha robot designs and concept for the game came from Shoji Kawamori (河森 正治) of Studio Nue (スタジオぬえ). Both the original arcade intro movie and the Dreamcast anime opening scene are shown at the start. Tech Romancer could be called Cyberbots 2 in all but name, however the change from 2D to 3D resulted in a large number of gameplay differences. So the two games end up being very different in many areas.
    Tech Romancer features a wacky cast of characters and to go with that cast of characters, there is an equally odd mix of stories, many characters also have branching paths and not all the paths have a happy ending. On top of the story mode is the Hero Challenge mode which is a straight up fight against the twelve characters from the arcade. Most of the secret characters however are restricted to the latter mode only and the three boss characters aren't playable in any form, unless you own a gameshark or Xploder disc. Despite that the game is packed full of extra content from VMU and mini-games, to a full artwork gallery and plenty more as well. Jin Saotome and Blodia II are only available in the Dreamcast version, you buy them from the Tatsumi Techno Dome after unlocking their purchase option from the VMU mini games.
    It's a shame most modern games don't have this degree of extra and unlockable content. As a fighting game it's a bit middle of the road, first time fighting fans will love it for the over the top moves and the easy to remember and use controls. Veteran fighting fans on the other hand likely won't get much out of it as the combat is overly simple. Balancing is all over the place with the different characters and the final attack move that allows you to one shot you opponent is activated way too quickly in a fight. If you're a mecha fan or have played Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Guilty Gear to death and want something different then this is the fighter for you. In 2001 a matching service version was released with online play.

    Of all the games I have missed from selling my Dreamcast, this is the game I miss the most :( This game was a love letter to the mecha and super robot genre. Why this game never came out for the Gamecube with GBA support or ANY other game console since I will never know. Thanks for the video!

      Because Capcom made it specifically for the Dreamcast platform tailor made, just as Namco did the original Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast.original
      It's a classic Dreamcast game through and through, like their Power Stone series.
      It also has Dreamcast only functions like the Visual Memory System.

      @@tom11zz884 To be honest, I blame the name. I avoided it at first when I saw it in the shop because it said "Romancer" and as a child I was sure that meant it was for sissy girls with cooties. Luckily I managed to overcome my fear of the name and bought it, but still when I tried to tell friends how good it was, everyone just laughed at the name.

    This game is alot cooler than I thought. My initial impression was this was just another 3d brawler but now it really has grown on me and quite quickly too! I notice alot of the pre-rendered backgrounds and the "endless" stage foreground which was common back in the 90s such as in other fighting games like Tekken.
    I am left to womder what Capcom was thinking with this game, they could have easily made another fighting game like Cyberbots but I guess they decided to try something new. It's too bad though that the CPS3 system gathered dust while Capcom moved on to other things. Still, looking at the gameplay for Tech Romancer, I am very impressed. I wonder what a Beat em up or Hack and slash using this style of graphics and hardware from back then would have looked like. It's odd that the fighting genre continued on but the Beat Em Up fell into disuse.

    Man I miss the old Capcom. Games like this one reminds me of their old promo arts, awesome variaty of games and so much more. Now? While not that bad, it is still sad that they only reduced their variaty to usually only 2 (Resident Evil and Monster Hunter) while their other IPs were totally forgotten. I really wish they would go back to this and be experimental with both old and new IPs like they used to in the 80s to late 2000s (90 and 2000s were their best years and that is a fact)and not just over rely on just 2 IPs.

      Yes, Capcom have really fallen like Konami with their output. They are becoming a shadow of themselves. You would expect to see a lot more download games similar in style, but all we have now are emulator collections and often they are missing many of Capcom's key games.
