PS2 Gunbird question

Post by Shearie »

At play-asia there are two versions of the Gunbird games called Gunbird Premium Package and Gunbird 1&2. Are there any differences between these two or are they exactly the same? Also, since I don't have a TATEable TV, does this version have a viewing option with a reduced screen size with black borders on the sides?

Premium Package is the cheap Asian version and Gunbird 1&2 is the JP version. Game-wise, they should be entirely the same. I haven't bought an Asian game since the PS days but the Asian versions include an English mini-manual for the HK users.

And AFAIK, every commercial vert has a yoko mode as default (any exceptions here?) so no worrying about required tate.

Well the reason I was asking was because the Dreamcast version I have of Gunbird 2 had the Original 1 mode where it was full screen but a big chunk of the screen area was cut off and the Original 2 wobble mode both of which I hate.
