Doshin the Giant is a simulation game developed by Param and released as a launch title for the Nintendo 64DD in December 1999. The game would later see an update re-release on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002, which was also released in Europe. While there were talks between Param and Nintendo of America to release the Nintendo 64DD version in North America, there was no such release.[1]
An expansion and spin-off title was later released for Nintendo 64DD, titled Kyojin no Doshin Kaihō Sensen Chibikko Chikko Daishūgō.
Story
Doshin the Giant is set on an island in the middle of the ocean named Barudo. The game opens with a narrator explaining that the islanders have told a legend for generations: that one day, a giant will appear out of the ocean at sunrise. On one morning, Doshin appears out of the water and heads to the island.

Development
Game creator Kazutoshi Iida has said that, at the start of his game development career, he set a personal rule that he would create three games; following Aquanaut's Holiday and Tail of the Sun, Doshin the Giant was the final game.[2] The game was developed for Nintendo 64DD as Iida thought the game would require a higher amount of storage space and rewriteable memory than was allowed by the standard Game Paks of the time.[3]
