I guess I caught Sega during their update when I updated this morning, as another page has been added to the Shining World site today… with yet another Shining Music CD!
I’ve not yet added it to the collectables, as I’m not certain whether it is the same CD as Sega Direct has had listed for a while. It’s possible that this is the final info/design for the CD, and that Sega Direct will update… or perhaps it’s another CD altogether. They do appear to be of similar purpose (songs from the recent games), the same price of 2,200 yen and indeed the same release date of March 30th.
Aside from that, a couple of updates here that you might be interested in – thanks to a tip I picked up at GameFAQs, I’ve been able to download high-res versions of Sega Japan’s SF Neo videos – they’re certainly much clearer than the tiny ones from before. So, I’ve updated the Video Archive with the new versions (note the much larger filesizes). I’ve watched through them and I’ll try to withold my comments about this over the top graphics fest… oh sorry, did I type that ‘out loud’? 😉
Seriously though, I watched the vids and find myself quite enjoying the anime clips… but then the gameplay footage kicks in and suddenly I’m moved to tears by what might’ve been, and what they have actually made of this ‘Force’ game. Sorry folks, it might look to be a bit of a laugh to play but it’s unlikely to be anything spectacular IMHO… that being said, it’s worked its way back into the Sega Direct preorders chart, in at position 5.
I’ve also updated the Collectables area today for Tears and Neo… and made the mistake of asking Rei to order the Neo DX package for me. I figure I can sell it on to someone here who wants it, once I’ve scanned/photographed the various bits and pieces. Or, they could be contest prizes… what have I done? Fifty quid for all that… I guess it could be worse!
Well, I’m going to have to leave it at that for today. I’d hoped to get some SEE updates done and up some new fanart & desktops too… but I’m going away for the weekend from tomorrow morning, so I need to bake some cookies this afternoon for my sister & her hubby 😉 Neo? Bah. Cookies… mmmmm 😀
