Today sees the release of Shining Soul II in Japan, and with a bit of luck my copy of the game will be arriving in the next week for me to review. Sadly, Sega did not respond to my requests for further info or a review copy of the game, so it’ll be a post-release review. Sega Japan have also updated their Shining Soul II minisite today to include a Multiplayer Comic and new cool Desktop/icon downloads on their ‘Special’ page.
There’s also a rather interesting page (which I hope to have translated, though I’m not sure I’m able to do it) or two with information from Shining Soul II’s creator, including what seems to be a bit of a history of the Shining series and some rather cool pictures (I wonder if they had all of those to hand, or if they took some from my scans at SFC? *lol*). If anyone’s able to translate the info, I’d love to post it here.
They have also added a form to their website, allowing owners of Shining Soul II to enter the contest via this, instead of sending in the registration card from the game. However, only entrants within Japan will have the chance of winning the prize! Looks like I’ll have to ask Rei to enter for me 😉
