Collector interest

The Japanese and Asian edition of Kengou 2, a samurai action game from Light Weight and Genki, a spiritual successor to the PS1 Kengou built on one-on-one sword duels with fine stance management. This realistic, demanding take on katana combat reserves it for an enthusiast audience, who make it a niche curiosity. Desirability rests on this gameplay singularity and on the scarcity of the regional run.
