Sega Genesis prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A Japan-only licensed game for fans of the manga, priced about at the middle of the Japanese carts.

Yu Yu Hakusho Gaiden is based on Yoshihiro Togashi's manga and anime. GAU Entertainment developed it and Sega published it on the Mega Drive in Japan on 28 January 1994.

Before you buy

The Japanese cartridge is a different shape from a Western one and fits a Western console only with an adapter or after removing two plastic tabs in its slot. Among Japan-only carts it sits about at the middle. The cartridge saves to a battery inside it, so check that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair, not a sign of a fake.
