The one game that actually released for PlayStation came out in 2001 and was called ONI Zero ~Resurrection~; thankfully it wasn't for the PS2, which might have been confusing since [[:Image:Mac (JP) box art - front.jpg|Oni's Japanese box]] used a romanized "ONI" too. A 1995 arcade fighting game loosely based in the same universe was called Oni: The Ninja Master. Despite the game's subtitle already being in katakana-ized English, it was released in the Western world with the inscrutable name [http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/metamoqester/ Metamoqester].

Also in 1995, the game universe was the basis for an anime OVA called [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5374 Touma Kishinden Oni] ({{Hover|闘魔鬼神伝ONI|text=Tale of the Fighting Demon Demon God ONI}}) consisting of 25 10-minute episodes released on five discs. Incredibly obscure and hard to find, the opening can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi7ZZYCC4Qg here]. It's about a young warrior who has to come to terms with his inhuman nature and ability to transform into an "oni".

In 2025, a new game was announced for as-yet-unknown consoles. Expected in 2027, it will be the first new game in 26 years. Its name? Oni Zero X. This is the tenth title in the ONI series released for a home system, so the X may be intended as a Roman numeral. Make sure to see the image released with the announcement [https://www.famitsu.com/article/202509/53761 here]. Why does this seem so familiar?
