Satomi Hakkenden
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1989
About this game
Loosely based on the Nansō Satomi Hakkenden novel, this RPG puts you in the role of Shino Inuzuka traveling across historical Japan on a quest to recruit 3 other members of the Eight Canine Warriors and gather their prayer beads to pacify the ghost of Tamazusa.
Although following the Japanese RPG formula created by Dragon Quest for the most parts, Satomi Hakkenden also has some unique elements in its gameplay.

Upon leveling up, the number of stat points available to allocate are randomized and can lead to wildly different stats with each playthrough.
The yōkai you encounter are not all hostile.
Friendly yōkai can be talked to, which will lead to them giving you parting gifts.
Aside from experience, defeating hostile yokai also gives you "conscience" points.
This stat affects how NPCs react to you and determines whether you can go to the final boss or not.
You lose conscience points if you attack friendly yōkai, and this stat can become negative as a result.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Satomi Hakkenden for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Satomi Hakkenden to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1989.
