New York Nyankies is a Japanese Atlus Famicom adventure game around a cat band crossing New York as animal rescuers. The representation alternates platform and fixed pattern combat in feline team in an offbeat Japanese family adventure formula. Without western release, curiosity for Famicom adventure fans in the 8 bit Atlus production vein.

Collector interest

An Atlus brawler that never left Japan, New York Nyankies survives only on domestic shelves, which keeps a steady niche demand alive. Its cat-themed cast and offbeat parody appeal to seekers of Famicom oddities rather than the mainstream market. The price rests on the mix of a respected publisher, a modest print run and the complete absence of any Western reissue.
