SAKURA DUNGEON ENABLE CONSOLE UPDATE

There’s also a bit of preview promo information for the hotly anticipated Sakura Taisen 2, just six months away.ĭisc two is the “Musical Disc”, and presents a digest version of the first Sakura Taisen stage show, Ai yueni (愛ゆえに), “Love, therefore”. The radio-show storylines lead into the “Feeling Couple” mode, which of course culminates in a date. Interspersed with this are new heroine-themed mini-games, similar to the ones in Sakura Taisen proper. You can choose the heroine you want to be the DJ, and enjoy vignettes of her talking, responding to fan mail, and so on. It is presented as two distinct sub-products in one package, each on its own disc and each with its own manual.ĭisc one is the “Play Disc” (using the character for a vinyl record), and contains several scenarios to play through, centered around the theme of a radio show being put on by the Imperial Revue. It’s a much more substantial offering than Hanagumi Tsuushin, featuring actual new art assets and gameplay. The second fan disc to come out after the initial game, this time in November of 1997. You can almost feel the Sakura Taisen mania sweeping Japan, and Sega scrambling to satisfy fans’ demands for more Hanagumi. For a fan, though, it is a charming little artifact and a sort of game-culture time-capsule.

In all, this sort of disc serves the same purpose that an official website would today, except not nearly as well, and for the price of an entire game. The art assets are nearly all either recycled from Sakura Taisen, or are live-action photographs or videos of the cast and staff – this product was clearly made in a hurry and on the cheap. There are also tiny, short clips of greetings from the voice actresses. You can play through a little quiz which determines which Flower Troupe member suits you best, culminating in a date scene. For example, click the story about the Sakura Taisen radio program, and Sakura reads out the airtimes for each region of Japan - quaint to encounter 15 years later. The disc is laid out as a newsletter, which you can flip through, zoom in and read, and click to view scenes.

Its title means “Flower Troupe News”, reflecting its theme as a sort of update on what is going on in the Sakura Taisen world - in an era before the Web was commonplace. The first of many fan discs, this was released in February of 1997, less than half a year after the first game.
