Development history

However, when TWI closed down shortly after the release of Shinrei Jusatsushi Tarōmaru, director Hiroshi Iuchi returned to former employer Treasure, where development was restarted and the game was finally produced.

The rarity of this game is such, that "new" copies of the game sell for $500 US at the Play Asia online retailer. Similarly, 2nd hand copies are rarely less than $200 on e-bay.
