Not sure when the western patch for V2 dropped but I downloaded it this morning.

"Consumer Version" restores the CGI intro not present anywhere else. The collection is complete.
The biggest unanswered question is where is the money? [1CCS]

Can also confirm that the G-Darius update dropped for SLG Darius Cozmic Revelation. Bit of a wait, but I'm glad they finally delivered...

Anyone ever been able to play this on an HD CRT?
They didn't do too much to the graphics, but I'd imagine it would look great on a CRT.

Yeah, you want to stop shooting EE whenever you aren't trying to take off a piece of it or clear away the destructible bullets, basically. Thankfully, this port has a gadget showing the bosses' health bars, so you'll always know when to chill on the rapid fire. :)

(It's a huge game-changer, actually - you can even consistently finish off Dual Horn with a counter while it's darting around the screen, because you can get its health down to a sliver and then wait for your moment.)

Hello!
In the physical version of G-Darius, there are instructions at least ? i don't want to purchase an empty box with only a disc inside.
