About Dezaemon 3D

Nintendo 64 prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A game-making toy disguised as a shooter, Japan-only, and best suited to players who read Japanese.

Dezaemon 3D is a vertical shooter and a shooter construction kit in one, made and published by Athena and released in Japan in June 1998. Players design their own stages, down to the boss and a custom soundtrack for each level, and the cartridge ships with two sample games, Solid Gear and Usagi-san. It was originally developed alongside an expansion disk for the 64DD that never came out.

N64 Magazine said the lack of English instructions made it hard to use, but that Solid Gear showed it could produce a commercial-quality shooter. IGN64 ranked it second on a list of top N64 imports, regretting there was no US release. An English fan translation patch appeared in 2024.

What the press said at the time

“Top idea, and a totally different way to exploit the power of the N64. If we ever get an English instruction manual, we'll be playing nothing else.”
— N64 Magazine, September 1998

Before you buy

This is the Japanese cartridge, a Japan-only release, and it is hard to use without Japanese; an English fan translation patch was released in 2024. Loose copies sit well above the median for Japan-only games, and complete copies cost several times more. The fake risk is low.
