''[[Doshin the Giant]]'' is [[Nintendo]]'s take on the [[A God Is You|god sim]] [[Genre]]. Doshin is an embodiment of the sun, a giant who oversees the inhabitants on Barudo Island, a tropical paradise not found on any maps. The player is given a choice of helping the inhabitants expand their villages and found new ones as Doshin, the love giant; or they can also become the hate giant, Jashin, and rain down death and destruction.
The game take an innovative approach to resource management. Trees supply green energy over a certain readius, which is needed to prevent houses collapsing. Trees only last for a finite time, but if seven are brought together, they will immediately wilt and eight new ones will sprout, as well as a flower.
Line 10:
When a village reaches maturity, its inhabitants build a monument at the centre. The aim of the game is nominally to collect all 16 possible monuments, though players often find it more fun to simply take care of their little people, and/or destroy them. Also, it may not be a good idea to get the final monument.
The game was originally released in Japan for the [[Nintendo 64]] in 1999. A 64DD add-on entitled ''[[Long Title|Doshin the Giant: Rescue from the Front by the Toddlers that Tinkle at the Large Meeting-hall]]'' was released the next year, which saw a little kid helping Doshin in the dream world by urinating on things. [[Widget Series|We think]]. The original was also ported to the [[Game Cube]], appearing in Japan in March of 2002 and getting a world release in September of the same year. The GC version is, thankfully, free of tinkling kids. Western audiences are most likely even somewhat aware of this game thanks to Doshin and Jashin appearing as trophies in [[Super Smash Bros
