Im wondering if they have spent all the money they have received and have nothing left for carts.
It looks like the family got a new member! :)

Yay, they DO EXIST!
Thank gawd! I was getting a little worried! Zebbe, how do you like the game overall?Quote:

Great that it has a 2 player option and the original version inclusion is a nice touch. Overall I'd say it is better than Legend of Wukong but worse than the other three Mega Drive releases in recent years.
My copy arrived here in Oklahoma today. Yippy!
I'll give it until Tuesday before I start getting worried.
Thanks for providing a quick commentary with respect to the game. Unfortunately I've not managed to get my hands on a copy of "Legend of Wukong" so your assessment has flown right over my head! Hehehe!Quote:

Yay! I guess my copy showed up over the weekend to my office so I picked it up yesterday from the post office. Looks like the games were shipped directly from China where they were manufactured from what I could see on the packaging. Is shipping to the US really more than shipping to the EU from China? I figured they were the same amount...
Here's my take on it though:
Packaging-
The manual and insert look nice on the game, the clamshell is one of those cheaper ones similar to what SFT uses though. I can still even see molding remnants on the inside and may trim those off later. The cart slot in the case also seems almost a bit too small for the odd sized cartridge they are using.
The cart itself almost looks like a cross between a JP MD cart and a 32X cartridge and won't lay all the way flat in my case, causing the whole thing to bulge a bit when closed. The cart also feels kind of cheaply made like others mentioned; I could still see molding marks on the inner lip when I examined it but it seems solid enough. My sticker on the cart was also just slightly off kilter; I doubt anyone would normally notice it but I saw it while examining the cart in detail.
I wasn't expecting the world for such a small print run, but it is kind of lacking compared to Pier Solar's build quality (a tough bar to reach though).
Game-
I'm using a Model 1 VA6 with 32X, attached to a Model 2 Sega CD. I popped it in and it started up fine. When you first start there is a selector between the original and Genesis version, I only played the Genesis one. Oddly though, while running through the opening/intro it froze on me maybe like 2 screens in. It might be the 32X, or it might not have been totally seated; I didn't really want to spend the time to troubleshoot at that point.
I reset the system and just skipped the intro to play the game instead. I played through a couple levels and was pretty into the game! I've never played the original, but the graphics were neat and the gameplay was just addicting enough to keep me going, plus they added new gimmicks as you went through the levels.
To be honest I didn't pay that much attention to the music since I was focused on the game, but I think that was probably a good thing. The music seems like it was there to keep you focused on playing more than anything else. There was nothing grating that I remember if that helps :)
I played for about 15 minutes, nothing too in depth but thought I'd post my impressions for anyone else interested.
I start to worry because I havn't received it yet. I live in germany and know of some guys from here who received their game some weeks ago. :-(
Ok, now I'm worried.
C'mon we're at least two who doesn't received the game yet so there is still hope. i will start to worry after you got yours and two weeks later I still haven't mine.Quote:
