Anybody still taking orders from Japan?

[Adrock]

I was wondering if anyone is in Japan anymore and taking orders off us unlucky people stuck here. I'm basically looking into getting Sakura Taisen, all of them on Dreamcast.

If not i suppose i better go looking in the wanted forum

Whats the difference between Sakura Wars and Sakura Taisen as i have 1-4 of Wars on the DC?

[Tom Salter]

Taisen = Wars in Japanese. So **** all :P

Some people quote the english names though.

[Pavey]

Oh right.
How many versions are there on the DC?

I think there was 1-4, and also Online (which is the only one I have). I've also seen a version called "Paris" around, although I'm not sure if this was a subtitle to one of the ones in the series. :\

On DC, the ones I know of are:

ST
ST2
ST3
ST4
ST Online Teito
ST Online Paris
ST Kinematron Hanagumi Mail
ST Kayou Show: Oogami Ichiro Funtouki
Hanagumi Taisen Columns 2

There are various limited edition versions of most of those plus the Complete Box which contains 1-4. The first 4 are the actual series and the rest are spin-offs of which only the last really counts as a playable game. I'm currently missing the last two on that list which don't appear to be so easy to track down (despite the latter having a DreKore re-release).

Right then

Hanagumi Taisen Columns 2 - Normal version only
Ookami Ichio Funtouki - Sakura Taisen Kayou Show - "Benitokage" Yori - Normal Version only

ST : Kinematron Hanagumi Mail - 2 Versions, First print with ST3 DVD and normal version

ST - 3 Versions, Normal, Ltd Ed with Pink ST VMU and Memorial pack with calender
ST 2 - 3 Version, Normal, Ltd Ed with Pink ST purupuru pack and memorial pack with memorial DVD
ST 3 - 4 Versions, Normal One, Ltd Ed A with Special VMU, Ltd Ed B with Music Box and memorial pack with music box (no idea if its different to the second limited edition version. They both have different HDR numbers...)
ST 4 - 2 Versions, both versions contain ST 3 Drama disc (some people claim the normal version is Ltd Ed because of this disc...), Ltd Ed version has 16 keyrings.

ST - Complete - Has 10 GD-ROMs in large box...

ST Online: Teito no Yuugana Hibi - 2 Versions, both versions have ST4 preview disc, ltd edition version has a keyboard

ST Online: Paris no Nagai Hibi - 2 Versions, again both versions have ST4 preview disc, ltd edition version has a panel clock.

And that be it.

Hope you have a large wallet.

One game worth trying to track down is the Sakura Taisen pedometer game, it's very similar to the Pikachu Pedotmeter game.

ST 2 - 1 Version, Normal version only (Shock what where Sega thinking of...)


My ST 2 has the pink Purupuru pack,although it is marked Asian Edition.

Edit, oops me bad.

Right, corrected my mistake and checked them against Segas own online database and it's now correct...

[Abhisara]

ST - Memorial Pack - 3 Versions, Normal version has a calender, ltd ed A has memorial DVD and Ltd Ed B has Music box

As far as I know, there is a single Memorial Pack version for each of ST 1, 2 and 3. ST1 comes with the calendar, ST2 has the DVD and ST3 has the music box. Might need to amend your database

[MD]

Heh your right, bloody Sega listing it in funny ways. ^_^ So thats 3 Versions you can buy of ST1 and ST2 and 4 versions of ST3... someones going to be poor.

Edited original post to reflect this. Any idea if the second limitied edition version and the memorial edition are different?

Ah the good old days when you had a first print version and a normal version (like several Mega CD games...)

[Abhisara]

Yep, the two music boxes are different.

There's a link to a pic of the Ltd Edition one on this page:

(btw, Ltd Ed A has the music box and Ltd Ed B has the VMU rather than the way around in your post)

This is the Memorial Pack one:

So I take it no one is taking orders from Japan?
