Collector interest

A historical action-RPG that never left the archipelago, this Oni set in late-Edo Japan exists only on Super Famicom: it is the original version, with SFC cardboard box and spine card, never localized for the West. A language barrier and a late 1996 release make it a cult import for fans of niche Japanese RPGs, sought more for its historical flavor than for tiny numbers. A present spine card and a clean cardboard box weigh heavily on this object's desirability.
