It has the couple of extra familiars, but everything else added to the Saturn version is unique to that version. (Aside from Maria being added as a playable character in the PSP version on Dracula X Chronicles.)
Idk about other versions but the JP PS1 version comes with an artbook and a soundtrack CD also! =)
I went to the thrift store/flea market that I always clean out of video game stuff today and he greeted me and lead me to the back stock room saying that he had some new stuff come in. There were bags of N64s, Genesis, SNES, but he says that he hasn't gone through it yet so it's not for sale. I noticed some games in the bags and asked if they were for sale and he said sure. So I dug through the games and it was just commons except for a game called Time Killers. I hadn't heard of it before so I looked it up and saw that it was rare so I grabbed it along with Pokemon Stadium 2, Mario 64, Mortal Kombat 3 and took them to the front where I bought a SNES bundle in the showcase for $35.
He looks at the games and says "I'll have to check these on Ebay to see what they are going for because I always pick out the good games and haven't gone through those bags yet". So immediately my heart sinks to know that this guy is going to charge me Ebay prices suddenly when just last week he said every game was $4 and systems were $10. He says Pokemon Stadium 2 will be $30 as that's the first Buy It Now listing he sees and then says Mario 64 is $16 from looking at the first ad as well. So he grabs the stack of Genesis games and goes to check them so I blurt out in desperation that I'm not interested in paying Ebay prices and he says well these are just Genesis games so I'll do $3 on each. So relieved, I paid $6 for MK3 and Time Killers.
This is bad news though that he's using Ebay Buy It Now listings for prices because this was my private goldmine.
And that is why I hate flea market vendors now Hell even thrift stores. Here is a bunch of games let me see what ebay goes for. Better yet I actually went to a flea market and I did see a model 1 genesis console only no cords in full dust and I asked the old guy how much and when I picked it up, there were no screws in the console and it fell apart so he tells me 20.00 i said forget it. I told him 2.00 and he went ape shit on me saying he can sell that as is on eBay for 20.00. I said good luck.
Thing that kills me is nobody takes into account the ebay fees when checking prices online . The seller is only getting 70-80% of that price so it's not necessarily market value and then there is shipping as well.
He also wants $40 for N64s now instead of $10. I got 7 of them for $10 each about 2 weeks ago.
I'm going back tomorrow after 'his guy' checks out the stuff in the bags . I'm still going to try my best to haggle him down and make him realize I'm the best option he has and probably his only customer for retro video games. I'd come up to $20 on them but $40 is ridiculous.

Yeah he could probably sell it for 20 if it worked, held together and came with cords XD sounds like someone didn't do their research before spouting out a a price...2 sounds about right maybe 4 if you're really generous...

40? That's what our people at the stores charge well probably 36 actually but still I think I'll peruse our local flea markets or ebay before I buy it at that price

I wouldn't pay $20 for a Genesis. $20-25 is retail for a complete system. I have about 5 in my closet I bought for $5 a piece at flea markets. No one cares about Sega stuff I've come to realize in regards to prices or knowledge. I grew up with Sega so it works for me getting a childhood console for 5 bucks instead of $60-70 for an SNES.

Odd I only paid like 36.55 for my snes jr I can understand the disdain at prices but ehh that seemed like a good price last at the time for it...

I just got a snes on Sat from a guy a work for just buying him lunch. No games but it works fine. I didn't want to take it but he insisted so I wasn't going to make him feel bad.
