Takahashi Meijin no Daibouken-jima II (SNES) price, value & rarity
As the original Japanese release, this Takahashi Meijin no Daibouken Jima II is the most accessible source of the sequel for collectors, arriving first on Super Famicom. A preserved SFC cardboard box and spine card lift the set, and its adventure tone with RPG accents makes it a cult import prized by fans of Hudson platforming in its native form. Where the Western versions run tight, the SFC edition offers the more affordable entry into this original chapter of the series.
Is Takahashi Meijin no Daibouken-jima II still worth playing in 2026?
This sequel reorients the Adventure Island series towards action adventure, with an explorable world map, items to unlock, dungeons and a power growth close to the emerging Metroidvania. The change of course surprises and brings real depth over the first outing. The slower pace divides fans of pure platforming, and the production stays modest. An interesting title for fans of 16 bit action adventure and the curious about a series that dares to reinvent itself.
