So today's post came four different packages! Let's take a look.
The first is
Destiny Lovers volume 4 from publisher Seven Seas & Ghost Ship. For some random reason, Amazon price dropped this volume down to £2.12 and I went for it and it's still up. It's handy that the book is new without issues so that's real handy.
Next we have two PlayStation 3 games that were acquired via CeX and eBay. Starting off with
inFAMOUS 2 which came from eBay and the condition was much better than I had predicted and the game does work so that's handy. The other game is
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One which arrived in a PlayStation 4 game case so I swapped it with a regular Blu-ray case for the time being. Other than that the condition for the rest is pretty decent.
And last but not least is my Solaris Japan package from Japan. This is my first import order from the retailer in two years so it's been a while, but it was a pretty risky one because of the VAT changes since 1st January (i.e no matter what value the items are, customs is guaranteed unless it's pre-paid). This expensive package arrived without any charges, which was both bizarre and interesting.
Anywho, the games I chosen were
Biohazard: Chronicles HD Selection (バイオハザード クロニクルズ HD セレクション) and
Dungeons & Dragons Mystara Eiyuu Senki (ダンジョンズ＆ドラゴンズ ミスタラ英雄戦記), both published and developed by Capcom. Now I should clarify - both of these games are available digitally on the UK/US PlayStation store but owning a physical copy is better than digital especially for PS3 since most are often on the disc, though for Biohazard it was an install disc like Strider Hiryu was.
Biohazard: Chronicles HD Selection is a collection of two Nintendo Wii on-rail shooters; Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, which were remastered for PlayStation 3. Both games support the PlayStation Move controller. Japan got a physical release and I can confirm this version does offer English voices and English menu text (instructions, subtitles and various parts are in Japanese) so this is almost a 100% English friendly release, but it's overall solid enough considering the whole game is essentially on-rails.
Dungeons & Dragons Mystara Eiyuu Senki, known in English as Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, is a collection of two classic 90s arcade games Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara, both were developed by Capcom. The collection's remaster was handled by Iron Galaxy Studios in the west, but in Japan it was actually done internally by Capcom and the original team who worked on the games, so the end result is two different versions of the same game. The games are in Japanese but as they are arcade beat em ups it's partially friendly, but there are branching paths and RPG-esque systems that will need a walkthrough. Overall I am very happy to own this game because it has been going up in value by a lot, and out of all of the Japanese imports I have done for the PS3, this game is the rarest.
I do have more photos for both games, but I plan to sort out a blogpost for them at a later point like I have done with previous imports.
