Collector interest
An adaptation of Gosho Aoyama's Yaiba manga (later the creator of Detective Conan), this Banpresto platformer released only in Japan in 1993, in the console's native Japanese cartridge format. Its collector appeal rests on that territorial exclusivity and the Aoyama signature, sought by fans of Japanese tie-ins. Never distributed in the West, it exists solely as a Japanese pressing, making it a naturally uncommon import outside the archipelago.
