Sega Japan today updated their Shining Tears site with two short TV commercials for Shining Tears.
At 15 seconds each, and in low quality they obviously won’t take long to stream, but sadly this also means it’s difficult to make out what’s being shown. The first concentrates on gameplay footage, while the second shows clips from the anime video shown at TGS. The game’s themesong can be heard in the background of each. I like it 🙂
While I was there, I also noticed an SF Remake video, which I’d obviously missed during the redesign.
Sadly I cannot download the videos (since they are streamed) to add to the SFC video archive, but a kind site visitor has provided me with several dozen Shining video clips to add, which I will be doing this week. I also have more fanart, links and FAQs to add – great stuff, keep those submissions coming!
Finally, Gamefront reported at the weekend that according to Famitsu, Shining Tears is number 18 on their readers’ Most Wanted lists, just below Fire Emblem and above Driv3r. Seems the whole of Japan is looking forward to this as much as we are! 😀
Meanwhile, yet more promotional merchandise has become available in the form of limited edition ST phonecards (200 produced – these are selling for in excess of US$40 at the moment, often more); Shining Tears bags (well more like pencil cases) and all the usual posters, cut-outs etc. I’ll be adding those to the collectables section ASAP.
Less than a month until the game is released – time to order a PStwo and investigate region modding it, methinks! Any tips?!
