Kaizou Choujin Schbibinman Zero (改造町人シュビビンマン零) is a 1997 game for the Satellaview addon for the Super Famicom. It is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up developed by Masaya and published by NCS.[1] It is the fourth and final game in Kaizō Chōjin Schbibinman series, and the first on the SFC.[2] The previous entries in the series were for the PC-Engine.
Plot
The game is not a direct sequel to previous Schbibinman games, and instead features two new protagonists: Raita and Azuki.[2]
Gameplay
It is a side scrolling action game, where the player can make use of both fighting techniques and beam attacks.[3] Players take control of either Raita or Azuki. Raita fights like a boxer, using physical attacks, and Azuki, fights with a sword and together they can use combo attacks.[4] It features two player co-operative play.[5]
Release
It was originally intended for a 1994 Super Famicom release, before being released on the Satellaview in 1997.[2][6] Thus the game never got a physical release, making the game very rare and hard to find for collectors.[7]
In 2014, the company Extreme gained the copyright for the game from Nippon Computer Systems.[6][8]
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the game's release, Columbus Circle gave the game a Japan-only limited release on a physical Super Famicom cartridge.[5][6][9] It was released on June 30, 2017 where it retailed for 6,998 yen and was distributed via Amazon.[1][3]
