BS Shin Onigashima: Dai-4-wa
The fourth and final episode of BS Shin Onigashima.
BS Shin Onigashima is a Downloadable 4-part Soundlink game for the Satellaview that was broadcast in at least 2 distinct runs between September 29, 1996 and January 31, 1996. The game was popular and won its December 1997 rebroadcast through the votes of players in the Third Player's Choice competition. The game came in second (in terms of votes) to BS SimCity: Machi Tsukuri Taikai and so it was broadcast second as a 4-day broadcast.
BS Shin Onigashima was a remake sequel to the earlier Shin Onigashima, a game that was released for the Famicom Disk System in September of 1987. The major difference between the two games relate to the SoundLink elements that were introduced for the Satellaview broadcasts. BS Shin Onigashima was later re-made in December 1997 as the commercial release, Heisei Shin Onigashima, for the Nintendo Power system. This was later followed-up by the May 1998 Super Famicom cartridge release of the same name.

About This Game
After three weeks of travel through a demon-haunted land, the children of Nagakushi village have come further than either of them imagined possible when they first walked out of the mountains. The western capital — seat of the dragon's power — is within reach at last. Every step toward it has peeled away the comforting fiction that this was simply a rescue mission for two stolen souls. The oni serve a master with a longer design, and the children's very existence is bound up in it. As the final chapter of BS Shin Onigashima unfolds, the truth behind their origins comes to light: who they truly are, where they came from, and why the dragon moved against their family in the first place. The confrontation is not only a fight to free two old farmers — it is the culmination of a secret neither child suspected when they left home.
