Nintendo Life - The release of this game on the 3DS eShop is a bit of a strange occurrence. Summer Carnival '92 Recca was, as you might guess from its odd name, created for a shoot 'em up game competition held in 1992, exclusively in Japan. It was only available from those competitions, so the supply was quite limited and, as a result, not very many copies were sold, making it one of the rarest Famicom games around — complete copies go for hundreds of dollars on eBay.
A.J. says: "Ever since Wii's debut back in 2006, there have been many retro hidden gems made available to download. In this list, I explore ten of the best underrated NES games that you can now play on Wii U, 3DS, or the trusty old Wii."
USG:Nintendo's Virtual Console and Sony's PlayStation Classics are at their best when they give gamers inexpensive access to rare, pricey, or otherwise inaccessible software. EarthBound, Rondo of Blood, Shantae, U*foria, and more: We've seen quite a few Virtual Console releases over the years that bring premium collectibles home for cheap. And now we can add another to the list: Recca, aka Summer Carnival '92.
Summer Carnival ’92 RECCA, a super hard and super rare game that was made for the Japanese Famicon back in 1992, has been released for 3DS eShop along with a new trailer.
