Collector interest

A NES conversion of Loriciel's home-computer fighting franchise, distributed in the US in 1992 by a French publisher rarely seen on the American market. The restricted NTSC run of a late, Europe-born title explains the surprisingly high loose and sealed values for an obscure karate game. The Loriciel identity on a US NES cartridge is the hook for collectors who chase atypical publisher lineups.
