BS Shin Onigashima: Dai-3-wa
The third 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
By the third week, the children of Nagakushi village have traveled far from the mountain roads they knew. The world beyond their home is stranger and more dangerous than either of them imagined, and the trail toward the western capital has grown darker. The oni appear in greater numbers now, as if the dragon has become aware that something is approaching. What the children have learned across this chapter begins to sketch the outline of a truth no one in Nagakushi ever told them: they were not simply orphans taken in by a kind couple. They are something the dragon feared enough to prepare against. The final confrontation is within reach, and neither child will arrive at it unchanged.
