The Genji and Heike Clans/Genpei Tōma Den (1986) - NAMCO MUSEUM of ART Episode 4 (Subtitled)

Namco Museum of Art was a video series showcased by Bandai Namco Studios' official YouTube channel and ran from November 13, 2020 to April 21, 2023, showcasing brief points of development and the key art/main visual/artworks of 12 arcade games released by Namco.
The English subtitled versions were presented on an English version of the official Japanese Bandai Namco Studios YouTube channel, which was wrongfully suspended by YouTube for "impersonation". The English subtitles were produced by Bandai Namco Studios Singapore.

The fourth episode showcases the 1986 game Genpei Tōma Den (released internationally as The Genji and Heike Clans), a side-scrolling hack and slash game. The video describes the game's notable view-shifting styles and notable development points. The video showcases the art created for the Famicom and PC Engine releases; the original painting for the arcade version unfortunately remains lost at the time of the video's publication. The video also covers the Japan-only sequel, Genpei Tōma Den: Kan no Ni along with the release's painting.
