Taito Legends 2 finally coming to the USA! Also a PSP edition!

[swlovinist]

Any unlockable games on the disc? Either on the first one or second one? I saw some codes on some sites, but We could not get any to work. Any help would be great. Any unlockable games on the first Taito Legends game for the PS2 either?

[Leo_A]

There are no unlockable games in either game.

Taito Legends 2 finally arrived....the bad news, is the game disc was loose in the sealed casing, which left a few scars on the disc...fuckin' media mail shipping I never trust...but it could be a factory wrapping error too..

After playing it for a bit, I'm pretty shocked they squeezed 39 games on this damn disc...best freakin' $20 I have spent since Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2

I checked out the narrowest EB Games store I've ever seen today, and sure enough they had a copy. Of course, it was sold as new even though it was unwrapped, open, and had stickers on the box like a used game.

[Technosis]

Has anyone in Canada seen one in a retail store yet? EB games here knows nothing about it.

I was at the mall and cruised into Gamestop and asked for the game.. they had 1 copy, but it was the usual "opened, but still new" shpeel.

I asked them if they had a sealed copy, which they didn't, so I told them forget it. If I'm buying something new, I want it new and unopened :P Why the heck do they do that??

Guess I'll snag it online.

They do it so if the case is stolen off the shelf, they only get the case and not the contents, and hopefully that will deter it from happening in the future.

Agreed. 90% of the time it's exactly that. The game has been pulled for display. It probably has never been played. Handled, yes, but unplayed. EB/GameStop put a bit of a quash on borrowing games for play by employees.

I've been an EB/Gamestop employee several times (In college, and between career positions. Thanks Hal!), and it was much diferent several years ago.

What Eb/Gamestop (it's the same company, we need to call them EBstop or something) does these days is pretty annoying. Back in the day they actually took the time to print out display inserts for games instead of gutting copies. I guess the 10 dollars a month per store for printer paper and ink was too much to spend to keep hardcore gamers happy.

FYI, Amazon.com has this available for pre-order at $14.99, with a release date of June 26, 2007:

Glad I resisted the urge to buy a 'new/unsealed' one from a local Gamestop.

[VACRMH]

Mine arrived awhile ago, totally worth it.

Can't get enough of Elevator Action 2 and Carat whatever, the breakout/bust a move thingy.

[Lothars]

I am really happy I found this finally, it was at my local EB

It seems like they just got the copy but It's really the only one i've seen for it but for 20 bucks I couldn't say no.

[Leo_A]

It just shipped in Canada a week ago or so I read the other day on the Taito Legends 2 Gamefaqs forum.

[Damaramu]

Funny. I just picked this up at Wal-mart for $14. Great compilation!

[kainemaxwell]

This complilation is next on my list!

Walmart, really? Gamestop claimed that this was a "Gamestop/EB Exclusive". So much for that. Anyway, it's still a good thing to see the potential audience grow for a game like this.

[Damaramu]

Yup. It was in their "clearance section", where they stick all their budget titles and greatest hits. Funny though, as that section is not behind glass like the rest of their games.

And they have an Ace Combat/Sigma Star Saga two pack for the GBA I've been eyeballin' (already have SSS).

The computer store chain Micro Center (or at least the Dallas location) has it too. Along with Raiden III and The Red Star.
