Aquanauts Holiday PS3

Hi guys
I dont usually make new topics but I couldnt see one for this game.
Basically I have just been given this game and have never heard of it before.Ive heard the game is very good and even has trophy support?!

Anyway Im just about to fire it up and despite reading the game is all japanese,It seems mine is all in english?So I did a quick google and read that the chinese/english version is available but was in a very limited print run.Is this true?

I wanted to ask here as I know there is alot of collectors and people who know their stuff, Compared to the troll infested forums of other sites.
Could someone shed some light on the deal with this copy I have?I think its all complete.The manual is english and the disc is in mint condition as is the box.

Thanks guys

actually I didn't think there was anything limited about it. Though I didn't do a ton of research. But I was under the impression that all copies of the game had English. brunoafh would be a good guy to ask, as he pays close attention to the PS3 import market.

But yeah I was miffed this didn't come to the US. I found the PS1 game really interesting, but the screenshots of the PS3 game looked incredible.

Thanks for the reply,I just thought the one I have was limited print.I think the jap game has minimal english in it,And the manual has no english.The one I have has a full english manual and Ive just had a quick go and its all in game english.

The game looks incredible,Such a soothing soundtrack and just swimming around picking up fish is a joy.
I did a search on ebay and on the 19th of april a copy sold for 195.50 dollars.It seems not many hit ebay.It could be worth more in america maybe?

The Korean and Chinese versions both have English support. If your copy doesn't have a little box saying "Cero A" on the bottom left of the box, it's a Korean or Chinese copy. I'm can't personally confirm this, but I believe the Japanese version has no English support. If you showed me a picture of the boxart, I would probably be able to tell you which version you have.

As for rarity/value, it's a bit rare. Not $200 rare, but rare. There are copies on eBay right now for under $50, but they're just stock photos so I can't really tell what versions they actually are. It would be considered less value-able in the states, being that it's already been imported, and a lot of the price of import games is the import fee.

Ok thanks for the heads up,I can confirm it does not have a zero box thing in the corner.Here is a pic of the box.


Thanks for your help.

Yep, goes without saying that's the Chinese version then. You could probably get more than the average eBay listing for Japanese copies if you post an actual picture of your copy if you make an eBay listing or post it on a forum marketplace.
