Game Hunting

[owsf2000]

Saturday/Tomorrow I'm going to go checking around at the stores. I have been waiting for a while now for "Sakura Wars: So Long My Love" to be released on the PS2/Wii. In particular I'm planning on getting the PS2 version since I hear it will have dual-audio and whatnot. According to Kotaku, it was released on Tuesday but I didn't see it at ebgames. I'll check the other stores to see if any others have copies. Gamezilla is the most likely bet I suppose.

Additionally on the PSP there's Mimana Iyar Chronicles. Seems somewhat interesting for a rpg so if I don't find Sakura Wars but find that one, I'll pick it up.

*update*

Found neither. I did however pick up a used copy of NanoBreaker for 4 bucks, and a copy of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey new. (But I should be more careful buying those things in the future. I'll never get either the price tag or the ugly inventory control tag off without ruining the box. It was sealed, like I demand my games to be, but not shrinkwrapped since I guess they expect people to throw these boxes in the garbage just because there's a normal case inside. Oh well.

If you got SMT SJ at GameFlop, look inside the box for a folded up mini-poster/alternate cover.

Comment for mostly other people.

There is no dual audio SW out there, the only way to have gotten that was to pre-order the PS2 version. All versions on the market are English only :/

I was almost willing to buy a copy for Puchi's benefit until I heard that.

Hm. I guess this is why there's the strange phrasing on the back of the box regarding that. It does seem to include a bonus "japanese voice over disc" so I guess that's just a regular cd or something.

It does seem to be rather stupid to do the work to put it on the disc and then force yourself to do a separate disc run just for the pre-order people. Doesn't seem financially sane to do so.
