Planet's Champ TG 3000, The (Japan)

The Planet's Champ TG 3000 is a little-known Japanese futuristic fighting title from Pack-In-Video, released mid-1995 on the Super Famicom. Its low-key run and offbeat gameplay make it an import curiosity rather than an essential, sought by fans of overlooked Japanese niches. As the original release, desirability rests on the SFC cardboard box with spine card and a complete manual, a set that's tricky to assemble given the game's thin circulation. A deep-catalog item for discerning Japanese collections, valued chiefly for exploration.
