Wow! I bought four big box sets and sold three so far... @__@ Shoud've kept one more for my collection...
sorry... really late on this post. All Dorikore games are completely indescernable from their originals. There might be a serial number somewhere, but not that I know of. The only time you see them listed on YJ as "dorikore version" is if they're still sealed -- once that sticker is off, it's anyone's guess.
most Dorikore´s are... a few do indeed look different like the Space Channel 5 Dorikore and one of the Aero Dancings and of course as already mentioned: most Dorikore equivalents from other developers like Bandai´s Best, SNK Best Buy, etc. also look different
I disagree with you,dorikore games have different barcodes than original ones..sometimes they share same serial number,but they have different barcodes.
cool, never noticed before- but i checked with a few "similar" looking Dorikore´s and you are right! :icon_bigg
The point is still the same though. When selling/buying, nobody notices this, or even asks. They have essentially reprinted the item as the same, and brought down the value of otherwise rare games. Yep.
I disagree..only newbies will not make the difference..but a collector will never accept to pay a factory sealed dorikore game for the price of an factory sealed original release. I just gave you the "hint" for being able to recognize them,that's it. But i agree dorikore games contributed to bring down value of original releases.
But nobody gives a shit. That's the point. Seems if it looks the same, it is the same. Not talking about factory sealed. I've already pointed that out.
I knew some dorekore rereleases looked shite. here is Airforce delta re-release and the normal one. (sorry about the tinny pic) Yakumo
Not to you. To everyone else though... it does. I'm talking about a purely economical view, not a collector's.
I could say EXACTLY the opposite: To everyone with normal working eyes, who can see a barcode, it is NOT the same product! To everyone..except you.
I'm not sure about exact figures, but wasn't the Famitsu special edition of What's Shenmue? printed in a very limited number? Then again, what's with everyone discussing only Japanese titles? In terms of PAL releases, the France-only Taxi 2: Le Jeu has to rank as one of the rarest Dreamcast games in any region! Despite being highly sought after by some collectors, it doesn't automatically mean they're paying for anything remotely approaching a high quality product - unlike Geist Force, which almost certainly would have been worth the hype. How can an even more futuristic take on the Panzer Dragoon style of gaming not succeed? As with their inability to realise a Streets Of Rage 4 on the Dreamcast, the collapse of the Geist Force project really was a nail that Sega could have avoided putting into its own coffin...
I've got to say I side with GaijinPunch on this. Unless I knew the barcaodes were different (as I do now), I would never have bothered to compare two copies of the game to see seperate barcodes. Even then, without anything to reference it by, I wouldn't know which barcode was for which game version. So sure, I could see a different in the barcode, if every time I found the game I had a copy to reference it against.
Well can we agree to that its the same game with a different outer appearance? In my opinion its worth to collect them both (ok only jpn versions but thats just my point of view) because they HAVE a difference in their box design (Cover/Spinecard/date of copyright/Barcode). Its still the same game for producers though, I don't think they differ between "GTA Vice City" and "GTA Vice City Best of" when they get news like "5mio copies of GTA VC sold"...
