Battle Rush Build Up Robot Tournament is Japanese robot combat on Famicom with mech construction and customization. The version keeps the customization concept but the language barrier limits access. Without a western release, for nippophile 8 bit mecha combat fans, original in the custom robot concept.

Banpresto Datach cartridge, built for Bandai's Datach Joint ROM System barcode reader plugged into the Famicom. The game needed scannable cards to build and battle robots, a mechanic impossible to fully exploit without the accessory or the original cards. Desirability rests on that dependence on a niche peripheral: a complete Datach set with intact cards is a rare piece within an already obscure Famicom subsystem.
