Collector interest

The fifth and final Super Famicom entry in the saga, The Great Battle V blends action with tactical RPG and closes the series on the console, making it the densest and most chased installment among Banpresto completists. A late end-of-life SFC release, its shorter print run shows mainly on complete copies with an intact spine card, trickier to assemble than the earlier entries. As the original Japanese release, it's the collecting capstone of the series.

Is Great Battle V, The still worth playing in 2026?

The fifth and final Super Famicom entry in the series, Great Battle V blends action adventure with tactical RPG elements for its Super Deformed heroes, alongside a more developed plot. It is the densest entry of the saga on the machine, ideal for closing the Banpresto adventure with a friend. The tactical graft adds some depth without weighing things down, and nods to Bandai's shows remain plentiful. Best reserved for genre fans and tokusatsu lovers wanting a generous co-op finale.
