Collector interest

An RPG spin-off of Samurai Shodown by SNK, Kenkaku Ibunroku transposes the fighting saga's heroes into a turn-based narrative adventure, here in Japanese and Asian edition. Never localized, this unusual offshoot of a fighting license draws SNK fans keen to own its branches. Desirability blends the curiosity of a Samurai Shodown RPG with the scarcity of this non-Western edition.
