Very cool little game that mixes in elements from the platforming and beat ’em up genres quite nicely and seamlessly. There are also some moves that will remind you of Street Fighter (Hadoken fireball, rising uppercut, leg sweep) and even one enemy that totally screams Castlevania. All in all, Kaizou a nice little 2-player game worth checking out! The company that developed this game, NCS, was underrated. They also programmed BS Out of Bounds Golf and Zen Nippon Pro Wrestling Budokan, two of my personal favorites.
Has anyone else here played Kaizou before, and if so, thoughts?

How much would a repro cart usually go for?

Looks like a game right up my alley. I’ll look to purchase this in the future.

Mark,
It depends. But most sellers I don’t see them going lower than 40, or higher than 60. The extra “special” games like Tales of Phantasia go for more because I guess they’re harder to somehow program/convert/whatever? LOL. I’m not big on the terminology, but I know games like Star Fox 2 and ToP often command 65+ and up to 100 in the case of SF2.
But yeah, a repro like Kaizou shouldn’t cost more than $50

Some games require a special chip and thus needs a particular donor carts, which drives up the prices of these games. Something to keep in mind is that these donor carts is one game killed. One of these games is Star Ocean, unless im mistaken. I dont know the name of this chip off hand, but its easy to find out if you search around, they still generally dont command more than $70 to 80 or so from what ive seen. Often that is still cheaper than the actual games in english, if they were actually translated officially. Like for those in the US, Terranigma would be a valid repro choice, since the Pal release is quite expensive (and requires an adaptor or mod to work anyway), and most americans dont read japanese, for the jap version, for obvious reasons. Its actually a little odd that Terranigma never saw a US release. Usually PAL is the last stop for japanese games, if we even see them come to begin with. Most games released in Japan, then many came to the US, and some of those saw a PAL version.
The main reason to get repro’s are for the expensive hard to find titles, and for japanese fan-translated rpg’s. Secret of Mana 2 being the most wellknown and popular example i think. You can get SoM2 in a nice repro box with manual and even a map for around $120-130 if you look around. Sometimes they give you a choice of PAL or US style box artwork and cartridge design too.
I think repro’s are great for the people who cant read japanese, or afford the really expensive games as they still let you get the same feeling of playing the actual game cartridge on the actual hardware, without using flash carts or emulators on a computer. Most “professional” repro shops use high quality print labels, boxes and manuals too, but there are those which dont, so ask before you buy.

I type and read very literally and use no undertones. Thank you for trying to understand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.....r_syndrome

How does the gameplay, etc. compare to the PC Engine Shubibinman games?
EDIT: about the Tyoujin… not Choujin deal… The Japanese phonetics for T are ta chi tsu te to. There is no real ti or tu. Japanese people, just in order to type on a keyboard, will type tyo instead of cho because most are ignorant about proper phonetic consonant blends like ch, sh, ph, etc. So it really is Choujin (the u denotes an elongated o sound…. another long story as to why it’s a u).

Wow, I just read your review of the game. It sounds vastly different than the other Shubibinman games, but in a great way! I’ll have to check my Xbox to see if the rom is on there. If it was a BS game, I wonder if it was ever made available for the Nintendo Power download service?
