Suikoden II PC Chinese....Alas!!

Hola a todos!

We're very sorry for the lack of updates but Nan and I have been overly busy as of late, we rarely have time for updating. Especially since there hasn't been much news to tell in the world of Suikoden merchandise. I've managed to buy a few Suikoden things I didn't have in the last couple of months, but nothing that we haven't covered before. However there is one exception :)...I know we've talked about this item once before, but never had any real info for you....until today!

I managed to finally track down a copy of the Chinese version of Suikoden II for the PC!! YAAAY! Behold the beauty in all it's glory :). Unfortunately the auction didn't come in it's original packaging (I still haven't any idea what the original packaging looks like) but it did come with both install discs and the manual. Though, it's really nothing to drool about, the discs are very generic and the manual doesn't have anything we haven't seen before.
This is the first time i've played Suikoden II on the PC so I can't compare it to other PC versions (if there are any?). I can tell you though that everything is in a higher resolution and a little bit more detailed than its playstation counterpart. Simply said, it looks beautiful on the PC. The one thing I was a little dissapointed about was the lack of video and audio options. Why? Because there isn't any :(. The only options you are allowed to adjust are the keyboard and joystick buttons. At least they gave us that though right?

This version is probably right up there near the top on the rarity list for Suikoden merch. I've only ever seen this thing twice, the first time the seller refused to sell it for some reason, and this time I won it. It didn't come cheap either, over $100 :(.
I'll leave you with some pictures of it that I took :)

Suikoden I PC- Chinese

Hoy, buscando imágenes del suikoden II chino de pc, encontré imágenes de una versión de suikoden que no sabía que existía (comercializada).
El juego es el mismo que la versión japonesa pero en chino, la caja es un poco diferente, igual que el manual y el cd.

Today I was searching images from Suikoden II chinese for pc, and I found pics from a suikoden version I didnt know it even exist.
The game is the same one than the japanese version but obviously in chinese, the box is slighty different, same with booklet and cd.

Suikoden I para PC

En 1998 salió en Japon un Suikoden que poca gente conoce: el suikoden I para windows.
Existe poca información sobre este juego, y las únicas fotos en condiciones que he visto son de mi propio ejemplar.
En la página de konami viene información sobre su fecha de salida y su precio inicial, pero no incluye foto (al igual que con el de Sega Saturn). En el volumen 6 de los Shinsho hay también unas pocas páginas relacionadas con merchandising entre la que encontramos este juego con la foto de su portada (ya colgaré más adelante los scans).
La diferencia entre este juego y su versión de playstation son los menús, más adecuados para el ordenador, y unos gráficos más detallados y más bonitos, como se podía apreciar en el suikoden para saturn.
La captura del juego es de una partida que empecé hace mucho, cuando me llegó el juego y lo probé. Podemos ver un combate normal y se puede apreciar la suavidad de los gráficos y el alto nivel de detalles (especial mención a la cicatriz de Gremio).
Existe a su vez una versión koreana, quizá un poco menos atractiva ya que la japonesa casi pareceuna edición especial dado a la embergadura de la caja.
Ambas versiones son bastante difíciles de encontrar completas. En mi caso sólo he visto la japonesa cuatro veces: dos de ellas incompletas y una completa pero usada, y otra precintada.
La versión koreana sólo la he visto una vez y precintada, desconozco si en Korea será fácil de conseguir.
