Raystorm/RayCrisis version questions

Post by Edmond Dantes »

So I was looking thru Amazon.com for the "Simple 1500" series (it may be budget but there are some interesting things there) and... one of the releases is a compilation of Raystorm and RayCrisis.

I'm curious: since Simple 1500 is a budget line, does that imply these editions are cut down in some way, or are they just like the stand-alone individual releases?

Nope, nothing missing from the original Japanese releases. Once you're past the D3 logo and frontend menu both games are identical to the stand-alone discs.

An example of a budget re-release lacking content is Hamster's Raiden DX reprint, which is missing the Senkyuu / Battle Balls demo from the original print.

Could be worth bumping this thread (I'll do it.)

I have this. Bought it on a trip to Japan a few years back.

Honestly, the fact that it needed bumping adequately explains why that topic didn't work in the first place.

anyway, I don't enjoy having to dig through replies to other questions to find an answer to the question I asked, so I'll stick with making new topics, thanks.

(I mean no offense, its just I just never saw the point of multipurpose topics)
