Collector interest

Igo Shinan '94 stacks two major levers: a late-1993 Famicom release when attention had already shifted to the Super Famicom, and a go program with a tiny print run. The high loose pricing for a mere board title signals real cart scarcity, amplified further for complete copies. As the series' final vintage, it closes an already marginalised Famicom educational genre.
