Shiritsu Justice Gakuen - Legion of Heroes (PS1) price, value & rarity
The Japanese version of Rival Schools, a Capcom fighting game in a high-school setting, shipped on two discs splitting the arcade mode from a content-rich Evolution mode, a packaging quirk specific to the title. This structure complicates the hunt for a complete copy, prized by fans of Capcom's 3D versus. Its interest pairs this original presentation with the difficulty of reuniting the set intact.
Better with friends
A team school brawl where students combine joint attacks and support moves to overwhelm the opponent in colorful clashes. The competition blends technique and coordination: managing your partners matters as much as reading the foe. Colorful and chatty, it serves up goofy humor that loosens up evenings, and the collective reversals breed great rivalries among friends.
Is Shiritsu Justice Gakuen - Legion of Heroes still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 1998 on PS1 in Japan, Capcom's project is the original two disc version of the game known in the West as Rival Schools. The tag system with combined attacks, the hyper energetic high school cast and the school mode multiplying side activities install an immediate identity. The strike readability stays limpid and the replay value is generous. The 3D modelling and the difficulty climb fast. Recommended today for 3D versus devotees, for Capcom fans and for PS1 collectors curious about the Japanese version and its archipelago exclusive options on Sony's first home console hardware globally.
