It's not a strategy guide, it's just a whole bunch of inspirations and cross references to various things in the games themselves. It's like a scrap book for the whole process. They're actually pretty interesting if completely unnecessary.
Well Plus does come with the ~NEW~ Raidou game so... ostensibly it's kind of a deal and a bonus to fans who didn't play Maniax because it was a limited release. Oh yeah, Nocturne was rereleased as part of the Best of series in Japan so it's far more common *AND* cheaper. Even in the US it was reprinted sans soundtrack CD I believe but the US version IS Maniax so it's the only game in town over here.
Is the Plus a limited pressing? I'm not buying anything at full price anyhow
Maniax/Maniacs was too so I'm guessing most likely yes. I have some strong doubts that the Plus edition will ever be localized over here so I'd say it's tempting... Maybe as a birthday present to myself or something but I have a hard time legitimizing dropping that kind of cash on a game that I essentially already own.
Yeah, I just inverted the image because I thought a white one wouldn't show up in the url bar. I could put it on a black background if you want... It might look better as a square anyway. I just don't think putting a shadow on it is an option though. I mean I could try but I'm guessing it would look like a weird blob. An outline might work... I'll tool around with it this afternoon.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure the nakama icons in Raidou are yellow but it would probably clash with the overall look of the site.
