Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru Review: Is it worth the money?

- Considered by many to be the crown jewel of import Sega Saturn collecting, I jump into the very, very expensive Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru (aka Psychic Killer Taromaru) and find out if it's gameplay and overall quality justify its huge price tag. Sure, we all know this game is rare as hell, but is it really worth forking over 1-month's rent just to own and play? Watch my review of Taromaru and find out!

Great review! You are looking at $700-$1000 in 2021 for a complete copy now if you were to buy it in Japan. It actually is not too terribly hard to find, just expensive.
I love the style of this game and all the Japanese mythology. I certainly doesn't seem worth the exorbitant price but a cool looking game nonetheless. I like hearing about these pricey collector's piece type games because I know you'll give an honest review.
Yeah it's fun seeing if some of these ultra sought after games are even worth a damn, especially when they're worth a house payment lol
I just finished this game on an emulator and I loved It. I have to disagree with the stiff controls being bad, because you have a lot of invincibility frames with your shield and you can pretty much avoid anything with enough practice. You can even hang in the air if you spammed it enough to avoid most ground attacks. I think generally, it really helps in decision making and makes the game more fun. Great review though 👍.
Extremely well made video! I love finding underrated Saturn games like this recently. There are so many titles the vast majority of us missed out on in the West!
lets hope a saturn mini will be released along with this game :)
That would be amazing! Although I'm worried Sega wouldn't want to put in the extra legwork to track down the rights holder and negotiate having this game included.
@@wigglesarcade8261 oooo yeah now you mention it. surely since they made a deal with Disney on their Genesis mini for the mickey mouse game they could do it for this too right?? ah well i'll try and save up then in that case as it would be nice to have :)
In my opinion games such as this provide a valid reason to burn games. Not everyone wants to collect expensive rare CDs. If you just want to experience this game it won't cost you much at all. It's still a great game, though.
Love the "Is it worth the money?" videos. Saw this game on a game sack episode, looked pretty cool, looked at up on ebay, then noped out xD. Hate it when you see such cool games just to be disappointed because you cant buy it and the youtuber just say its expensive, but not if its worth the money, that bother me so much. Its like there getting 10000€ per month so they can buy something like that without much thought.
I plan on doing more. I really enjoy checking out those rare, holy grail games and seeing if their all hype or they're actually really good. And yeah, some of these people who have crazy collections with tons of rare, expensive games seem to care more about collecting them for rarity than whether their actually any fun to play. I'm a firm believer that a game is only worth whatever enjoyment you can get out of it while playing it. These are games after all, not Picassos on a wall :p
@@wigglesarcade8261 When you want help I can give suggestions on rare, expensive japanese PS1 Games that are little to not known. One example would be GERMS: NERAWARETA MACHI, alone the Cover is weird as fck
Going into it with no expectations (and playing it for free) it pretty fun, but for some reason I can't recall most of what I played it just didn't leave much of an impact.
This is definitely accurate. Its certainly no Symphony of the Night, but as long as you aren't paying hundreds for it, it's definitely a pretty good time.
Gorgeous looking and sounding game with some really interesting game play mechanics. Today there's no excuse to not at least try it out using a "creative method". But even for collectors it's a nice collector's item, imho.
It's definitely collectible given it's obscurity, but as someone who has always collected to play its a pretty hard sell even though it is a pretty cool, fun game.
It's $3,436 now and I still love playing it, nothing like this game
Use to own this, and didn't pay that much for it. Sold it in 2014 for £170. Wish I had held on to it now
I really, really wanted this game for years and after playing it for this review I'm very happy I never bit the bullet and bought it.
@@wigglesarcade8261 haha yeah I know what you mean. It’s a nice game but at the price is for collectors and preservationists only. Me, I’m happy with my terraonion mode now for the most part. It would be nice to see a full on remake of this tbh, where they fixed all the gameplay quirks your mentioned
How much does it go for, these days? I used to own it as well and sold it around 2012 or something.
@@andersdenkend I believe $600 to $800, which is less than what it was going for about a year or two ago if memory serves me right. I remember seeing it pretty often going for over a grand at one time.
@@wigglesarcade8261 Yikes!!!
I love boss rush games, my fav game is Alien Soldier so this is one of those games that I want to play. A shame is so expensive.
Likewise, it definitely beats fighting a bunch or grunt enemies for an hour before being able to face a boss.
Yes. Totally worths it. If you have money to spare!
These days, you can pick up a reproduction copy of this game for $20. It's certainly worth that. 😊
I dont think the game is THAT good looking, certainly for its time, but it doesnt hold up as well as something like Contra Hard Corps. Looks pretty fun tho and nice review
Can you stop talking with an inflection?
i cant stand reviewers who SUCK at playing reviews the game. much like the other day when i watched a review of sonic battle advance giving it a bad review cos obviously he sucks at playing it. another one reviewing river city ransom cos obviously he doesn't know tf what he's doing. americans should just stick to tmnt
