Random Gaming Thoughts

What do Japanese Dreamcast games with cover art like this actually look like in real life?



Obviously those aren't the right dimensions for a jewel case. Are they in cardboard boxes or something?

yes. Usually with extras. Like the Sakura Wars boxes.

Gotcha.

And the fact that only one Sakura Wars game has been localized is a travesty.

I really wish someone would release a translation patch for the Saturn original. Bernie Stolar, I curse thee!

Yeah the Saturn should have been right up there with the PSX during the great 5th gen RPG explosion.... but nope, not enough localization.

In addition to the Sakura Wars games, we also didn't get RPGs like:
Baroque
Black/Matrix
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
Dragon Force II
Eiyuu Shigan: Gal Act Heroism
Langrisser III
Langrisser IV
Langrisser V
Legend of Heroes I & II
Lunar: Silver Star Story
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue
Mahou Gakuen Lunar!
Madou Monogatari
Ogre Battle
Princess Crown
Riglord Saga 2 (sequel to Blazing Heroes)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
Shining Force III Scenario 2
Shining Force III Scenario 3
Slayers Royal
Slayers Royal 2
Sword & Sorcery (aka Lucienne's Quest)
Tactics Ogre
Vandal Hearts
Wizardry VI & VII Complete

....and that's just off the top of my head!

This is the greatest travesty of it all though. Absolute top tier games that rank up there in this generation of RPGs that Westerners missed out on. Of course, there is the translation patches available now, but yeah. Some of the best of the genre period. Yet we got the loads of random weird spin-offs after this on PS2.

There was a collector in Australia who lost pretty much everything in that big flood a few years back.

Tons of completely ruined and severely water-damaged Neo Geos and Turbo CDs and stuff.
