Among the weapons Darc Seed claims is the legendary samurai sword, Shura.
When the great head of the samurai, Namakubi hears about this, he sets out for the United States to defeat Darc Seed and reclaim the sword.
Zombie Nation is a side-scrolling shooter in which the player can control Namakubi's movement across the screen and the ability to shoot.
The hero's designation as a "great head of the samurai" is to be taken literally: Namakubi is indeed a giant disembodied head.
His main weapon is the ability to shoot projectiles from his eyes and bombs from his mouth which he fires at various enemies, objects and buildings.
Furthermore, should a zombie hostage fall out a window he can rescue them to slowly power up his attacks.
Enemies reduce health by varying amounts; health can be restored by increasing the player's score.
The game features four distinct stages with two difficulty settings.
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 Zombie Nation 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 Zombie Nation 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 1990.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Zombie Nation, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
