Legend of the River King GBC (GBC) price, value & rarity
The first entry in Natsume's fishing line on Game Boy, predating the colourised sequels by several months and technically humbler. Its lower rating and value reflect the status of an underrated forerunner that laid the groundwork for a franchise that stayed quiet in the West. Interest stems chiefly from its founding role and the scarcity typical of the publisher's early niche titles on the US market.
