BS Shin Onigashima: Dai-2-wa
The second 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
The first week's journey has carried the children of Nagakushi village out of the mountains into unfamiliar territory, and the second week pushes them further still. The oni who stole the elderly couple's souls are spread across the land, and fighting through them reveals something the children did not expect: they are effective. Trained only by the necessity of surviving, both the boy and the girl develop in combat and in confidence as the week advances. What they cannot yet see is why the dragon sent the oni outward rather than keeping them close — and what the dragon actually wants. Week two of BS Shin Onigashima deepens the dungeon structure, adds new enemies and terrain, and brings the western capital one chapter closer.
