As a small developer teamed up with Soft Vision, its production was low and estimates put it at around several thousand in Japan and probably less so in South Korea. With growing interest in obscure Japan-only games, Eliminate Down’s value went up thanks to exposure to its gameplay and scarcity. The prices inflated astronomically as interest grew over time.
