V-Five Question

Post by Ceph »

Does the Japanese Mega Drive V-V also contain both V-V and GrindStormer like the Genesis version?

Great game, btw. It should have gotten a Saturn release, arcade perfect with real tate. :(

Yeah, both versions Genesis and MegaDrive contain the alternate version as well which is a nice touch.

Thanks.

In my opinion V-V is superior to GrindStormer, but it's nice to have both.

Word of advice:

Get the JP MD version, since I herd the US GrindStormer Genesis carts were defected.

I never 'herd' about that from you or other sources. I can say that Grind Stormer is hard to come by complete these days although carts alone are often up on ebay for around $10. I scooped another complete copy myself the other day for that same price so it should be ok. I'm not too keen on V-V since it's about 5x as costly as GS on average.

Wow, Teh English.

Anyway, I suppose that only a very small percentage of the American GrindStormer carts have faulty ROM chips; mine is working just fine.

The reason I asked if both releases contain V-V and GS was because I own the US game but I'd rather have the Japanese version in my collection (which looks nicer, imo).
