PS2
Simulation
Subtitled ‘Boiling blood’ (atsuki chishioni), a hybrid version of the original given a complete graphical overhaul and new speech to introduce the Sega series to the platform. Crazed mix of steam powered mech strategy battles and delicate as a cherry blossom romance.
GameBoy Color
Simulation
Subtitled ‘Flower Corp. New Recruits.’ Crazed mix of steam powered mech strategy battles and delicate as a cherry blossom romance translated well onto the GameBoy Colour.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Famed for its footage of Ms. Chisa Yokoyama performing the Sakura Wars anthem complete with full Sakura Wars, Shinto inspired outfit with some good backing from the loyal crowd of devotees. The media disk takes the form of an imperial era newspaper which is scanned for info with certain sections revealing mini dating games and plenty for the Sakura Wars fan. The presentation is excellent too: a small example being the greeting when the Saturn is booted up which varies from a morning Ohayou! To an evening Konbanwa, along with a few special dates along the way.
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
Unfortunately the Dreamcast servers are now down meaning emails can’t be sent, but this is still a nice collectable for fans of the Sakura Wars series.

Plenty of flushes and wry smirks from the poker face avatars of the Sakura Taisen participants in this card game. Nice off shoot from the world where imperial Japan lives on.

Plenty of flushes and wry smirks from the poker face avatars of the Sakura Taisen participants in this card and mahjong game. Nice off shoot from the world where old Japan lives on. Differing cover to the Imperial version with a few teaks.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Forget the card game take on the Sakura Taisen world; this deluxe Dreamcast version comes with a full sized wall clock with picture of the girls enjoying a game of cards and a cup of tea and some suspected peeking at players hands. No wonder the Dreamcast was doomed, but what unparalleled love towards owners from Sega.

Sega Saturn
Simulation
The Sakura series has a huge following and this is a mish mash of sub games, interviews, songs and of course anime from the celebrated series.
PS2
Simulation
Showcasing all that is popular in these sim games: love interest, beautiful graphics and of course a few fights along the way. Considered actions are the order of the way as the interactions with other characters effect the overall endings in a form of gaming karma. A huge Sega title for the discerning otaku with a huge thank you from Sega in the form of this lovely limited edition.
PSP
Shoot Em Up
Konami declares its unrelenting love for gamers from the old school with this bumper compilation responsible for many a blistered thumb. Includes five games on the wee UMD are the organic looking Salamander parts one and two, plus Life Force, Xexex and Gradius II. Konami have enabled the games to fully utilise the PSP’s screen, but they can also be played in their original dimensions for the PSP purists. Also includes a gallery to savour memories of old. The appropriately daunting front cover remains with the Salamander boss – a classic retro image. Yet its Xexex that is the surprise package here with its R Type style detachable pod making for exhilarating gameplay. Sometimes its best not to go back, but this time its good to be back. And Xexex absolutely insists you go back.
Dreamcast
Rhythm
Pop a couple of maracas in the hands of a non-gamer and sit back and enjoy the show. Mould breaking, pure distilled fun from the Sonic Team.
Wii
Rhythm
Updated version of the arcade smash with plenty more tracks to choose from and where moving the Wii remote and nunchuck around in time to the beat is the central premise. Preach no more: this is the game to convince non gamers to get involved and samba. Bursting with colour and sunshine – at least when you’re hitting the beats. Plus Sega fans will appreciate the appearance of Sonic and Space Channel 5’s Ulala.

Dreamcast
Rhythm
Updated version of the arcade smash with plenty more tracks to choose from including a rock version of A-Ha’s “Take On Me.” Also includes Hustle mode where moving the maracas around in time to the beat is the central premise as opposed to hitting the beats. Then there’s Love Love mode where success is measured by how many beats you can hit together with your partner. Preach no more: this is the game to convince non gamers to get involved and samba. Bursting with colour and sunshine – at least when you’re hitting the beats.
Super Famicom
Puzzle
A real retro romp with players basically matching lines of Hudson inspired characters faces such as the Aladdin inspired heads or the ghosts. Strangely compelling with the main gimmick being the base cart remains the same whilst the smaller cart fitting into the slot can be interchanged. The title is a pun on the characters for shark (same) and turtle (game.)
Playstation
Simulation
Beautiful fan book with plenty of screen shots to discuss the Playstation drama game. Every decision seems to have an influence over the very enjoyable story.
GameBoy Advance
Action
Seemingly taking inspiration from SNK in the period setting, this action fight fest has scrumptious fight areas and extensive attention to animation detail. Plenty of hidden characters and accomplished effects. A very appropriate tribute to the samurai slicing anime series.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Absolute treat of a game with atmospheric backgrounds from kabuki theatre, snowy Ainu inspired Hokkaido to Mount Fuji. The giant ‘Earthquake’ character is still jaw dropping even today. A very classy conversion from Saurus. Known as Samurai Shodown in the West.
Neo Geo AES
One on One Beat Em Up
Strictly adhering to the if it ain’t broke adage, SNK delivers more stomach ripping action in this slightly tweaked sequel with four new characters. Superb.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
A very popular compilation on the PSX with the first two parts of the Samurai Shodown series looking just as savvy as the AES versions. Weaponry adds an extra element to the fighting in this exciting series with all the drama of Kabuki theatre.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Darker third installment from the Garapagos team with many new characters and more damaging specials. Loved by some, others resented the increased damage level decreasing bout time. Still slicing an opponent brings a worrying degree of satisfaction.

Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Spine tingling atmospherics set by the excellent oriental orchestral score with tumbling leaves or snow falling. There are some pretty gruesome moves to add a bit of colour to the snow, including self inflicted seppuku. Big, bold sprites make this an SNK winner. Subtitled Amakusa’s Revenge Special, the series is also known as Samurai Shodown.
