Should I buy a Sakura Dreamcast? Is it actually worth it?
will you have enough money left for your HRT though?
>>740202383It's one of the few models you CAN'T stick a GDEMU or MODE in.Also, Sakura Wars games don't work on some of the GDEMU clones. Personal experience
>>740202383Other than collectors value or personal love there is no reason to not get a regular DC instead.
>>740203264Sakura Wars Columns works, that's a fucking bummer about the others though I was hoping to play Sakura Wars 3 on mine when it gets a fan translation. Why can't you use a gdemu on one of these? Does it have a different pin out to the gd-rom drive?
>>740203453Any Dreamcast with a '2' on the bottom has a revision meant to thwart piracy. Only a few special editions and very late 00's-produced units were that revision.I played through SW3 myself back in 2022 using the GameFAQ guide from the early 00's. Outside of one section that required trial and error [talking your way out of a group event for a date], you can beat the game with the translated script on a second screen.
>>740203264Not OP but damn... Thanks for letting me know though!>>740203324>or personal loveI love Sakura Wars so much I was going to out of love alone. I probably still will, I will eventually actually just not anytime that soon. I even have the little pocket sakura and the GB game. I would have bought the gameboy with it all but holy hell the price. Though, I'll still try and get it one day.
>>740203778I guess if you were really dedicated to having a working gdemu sakura wars system you could just swap in a donor motherboard from another dreamcast, at least, but I sort of think this would be more of a collector piece for someone anyway. I'll still wait for a translation, if the Saturn translation team move onto it it'll keep the scripts consistent.
>>740202383NoGet a Saturn Instead
>>740204035They're both good.
>>740202383You already have a PC
>>740204219Which version is the best?
>>740203962>I love Sakura Wars
bumb
Emulating the first game since it finally has a translation that isn't old text guides. Is there any SW guide other than on gamefaqs? Feels like I'm playing blind and missing key details about the game.
>>740206248I love kids
>>740202383>Is it actually worth it?What a weird fucking question. What kind of arcane secret do you want to hear about this thing? Do you expect a secret Sakura onahole to come with it? Look at the picture and tell me if it's worth it because that's all it is - a limited edition Dreamcast. You're not actually gonna play anything on it because using such an expensive collectible is retarded, it should be preserved in whatever fragile state it already is, not worn down further. Do you want a pink limited edition Sakura Wars-themed Dreamcast, and have enough disposable income for it? Then buy it.
>>740202383How come anime doesn't look like this anymore?
>>740209161Harder and more time consuming to draw + older drawing and animating techniques and basics in anything being phased out from many art schools around the world to the point where people don't even know how its done anymore. Much like everything else in the world. Companies just like to go for the cheapest option available because the masses generally don't give a shit. The ultimate goal for any business is to be able to sell dirt to consumers and call it a hamburger or in this case, anime.
the ice cream girl
>>740202383That's not Sakura.
>>740209161Because the rest of the world decided that the breakout anime designs have to be stuff that looks like Naruto if anime wanted to ever be a hit. Once Naruto exploded it was all over for traditional anime designs. Naruto was the genesis for the "simple" anime designs we have now.
>>740210052I watched like 5 episodes of Naruto and Sakura never took off her top. 3000 episodes later, I asked fans if it ever happened, and they said no, so I never bothered watching again.
>>740202383jesus the ancient tech
>>740209161Sheeple don't care
Old Sakura Wars and Nu Sakura Wars should be on Steam
>>740202383the only exposure i have to this is from project x zoneis the game actually good
>>740215947Yeah, but you wouldn't get it.
>>740216086like its bad (good)?pxz was kinda bad but it looked great so i enjoyed it anyway
Literally all they had to do was remake Sakura Wars 1. How did they fuck up something so simple as that?
>>740209161TV broadcast encourages low quality content because they're not competing in a free market.The best anime are theater releases and OVAs.
>>740216282It's the only Sakura wars game I played and I actually enjoyed it
>>740206248How censored would Iris' scenes be if this game got a rerelease?
>>740209161Old manga looks better too
>>740216282Sex with Hatsuho
>>740202383>Is it actually worth it?only you can answer that.its functionally worthless if you already have a dreamcast, but it might make you happyor something idk
>>740209161Shoneniggers want their boring ass power fantasy slop as fast as possible because they don't want to read, so studios either resort to slave labor on a shoestring budget or outsource to other shithole countries. It's probably less of an issue nowadays since cheapfucks like A1 probably just use AI for it now but I haven't watched seasonal anime since like 2019.
