About

Heisei Shin Onigashima: Kouhen is an Adventure game, developed by Pax Softonica and published by Nintendo, which was released in Japan in 1997. It is a port of BS Shin Onigashima, a four-part broadcast game released for the Satellaview (a Super Famicom peripheral). This game is composed of the last two episodes of BS Shin Oni Gashima. Heisei Shin Onigashima was first released as a Nintendo Power downloadable game, then later released in two parts as cartridges (Zenpen, Kouhen), much like the original Famicom Disk System version was also divided in two parts. The game was later released for the Wii Virtual Console, in two parts, and for the Wii U Virtual Console (a single release, Zengohen).
