All pics 600+ kbytes, internet big tymers only ;)

Notice how the manual is in full JPN shape, reading from right to left, text in columns, JPN page numbers... :multi_co:

Also notice how they scrapped the spine with a logo in the wrong way for a JPN game... :(


Thanks goes to the guys over gameswave.com for the pics.

Thanks for the pics :)

The jpn insert looks a lot better up close than in that ncsx photo, and the spine is tops - waaay better than the US spine. :D

Can't wait to get my copy now... :drool_2:

Very nice, indeed, I especially like the way the Japanese is displayed in the manual, Haohmaru is the only downside, also, I would've preferred (if they had to ahve Haoh on the spine) that they used the Rage Explosion pic.....that would've ruled...

I agree, while cover is kinda up in the air and depends on whether you like or don't like those borders, the spine hands down is better on the Japanese game.

Sweet. I don't have more words...


And that Haohmaru art had bored me a bit, but seeing it's the continuation of the back cover, I think it's very, very cool.

ALL the game art and presentation was made to resemble old japanese style - props to SNKP, for sure!

Once again, as ever, the US get's the worst insert (and title! 5? It's a joke, right?)

What are you saying here? I don't think I'm understanding right.

Very nice, I too was worried about the pic on the cover but after seeing the back and spine, my worries are gone. Now I can't wait to get my hands on this. :)

Yes.

US games are fake.

Japanese carts are the real deal.

Choke on a glass of sake if you think otherwise.

Damn I need a scan of the US and JP inserts now for a shockbox insert.

Anyone want to supply me with one?

I will give freebies to the first person to supply me with scans of a us and someone who does the same with the jp.

Must be scanned at 600dpi please.

Thanks HPMAN!!!

I was especially concerned about the spine since what happened with SVCC.

Glad to see I was wrong!

See my edited logo for the spine.

SS0.jpg


He meant the logo(fonts) use in standard japanese insert should be heading downwards(vertical) and not side way(horizontal) like US version. :very_ang:

Fucking lazy for the designer as they don't even bother to edit the logo to suit the spine.( standard japanese style.)
They just use the horizontal logo and placed it at the spine.

Thats a very lame Japanese insert, looks like a 30 min photoshop work.
A blown out cover with 4 screen shots and a few japanese words? what a joke. :emb:

Thought SVC was bad enough, this is worst.
SVC can be forgiven as theres no japanese fonts at the logo but SS0 logo is already in Japanese, all they need it to edit/turn them vertically.
Check all your SS /japanese home carts and you know what I mean.

All the SS 1 to 4 insert looks beautifully and well design, they are alot cheaper.
SSO is more expensive and we get a lame insert with no english story mode.
What is going on? :oh_no:

(PS: At least the cart sticker and manual looks very cool)

Doesn't really matter if the logo is horizontal or vertical in Japan.

Lots of Japanese products have a horizontal log on the spine, and the Sengoku homecart does as well.

just my two cents:

the cover artwork on this jap version is not the same as previously anouced on neostore... any chance that US version can avoid the ugly cover too?

Of course... not.
