Collector interest

Takara's Game Boy port of SNK's sword-fighter, US version with Super Game Boy support (a dedicated border and palette on the living-room screen). Squeezing an arcade roster onto 8-bit hardware gives it real standing as a technical curiosity. Demand is carried by the Samurai Shodown name and the SGB-enhanced angle, more prominent on the US side than on the matching PAL release.
