Popular games for collection Boku no Natsuyasumi
The game revolves around Boku, a 9 year old boy sent to his aunt and uncle in Japan's wooded countryside and the daily adventures he encounters there. Boku is there because his Mother is in her final month of pregnancy. The player controls him for the 31 days of August 1975 (In Japan, a Summer Vacation, called natsuyasumi last for one month). You explore the game's area and can catch bugs and pit them against each other, collect bottle caps, fly a kite, or just relax.
An enhanced Playstation Portable port of the original Boku no Natsuyasumi. Essentially a "creator's cut" of the original, doubling the amount of insects able to be caught as well as adding three new characters to the story.
The fourth instalment in Sony's popular holiday simulation.
Boku no Natsuyasumi 2: Umi no Bouken-hen is the sequel to Boku no Natsuyasumi and has a similar concept. The nine-year-old city boy Boku once again spends his summer vacation in the countryside in 1975. It is a alternate universe sequel where the character spends his vacation with his family in a different location, but still meets many characters from the first game. The sequel is set in a Japanese southern coastal town on the tropical Izu Peninsula where his aunt and uncle have a bed and breakfast. The game consists of fixed screen, pre-rendered environments with 3D models and a cinematic camera with a different viewpoint for each scene. Boku's vacation only lasts 31 days, but the player is free to choose how to spend his time as it is presented as a sandbox environment. It is possible to seek quests and help the people in town to solve their problems, but he can also choose to ride his bike anywhere, go bughunting, spend time fishing, dive into the ocean, launch a rocket, go on walk, play hide and seek, or play a mini-game of beetle wrestling. Many scenes offer interaction for the sake of exploration, with no further purpose. Time advances when a new scene is entered, so it is not possible to complete all content in a single playthrough.
Boku no Natsuyasumi 3 is the third main game in the life simulation series of spending a summer vacation in Japan. This time the fourth grader Boku goes to his uncle and aunt's farm in the wide-open countryside of Hokkaidō on 1st August 1975. It is the same period as the previous two games, so once again it is an alternate universe sequel. He is dropped there by his father as his sister will be born that month. His uncle and aunt have a daughter called Midori who has the same age as Boku.
