This is great news! Looks like it's the "Dangerous Trap" updated version, which was previously only available on Famicom carts from Columbus Circle and has some rebalanced difficulty and additional content.

That's cool and all, but why no cart rerelease?   BKs have been out of print for a minute.

I wish they'd do a Famicom release of part 2, with the makeover and rebalanced difficulty like they did part 1.

Emulator versions on modern Xbox machines, bleh
