Dead or Alive 2 First Print Version (デッドオアアライブ 2[初回限定版])

Dead or Alive 2 First Print Version (デッドオアアライブ 2[初回限定版]) this is NOT the same at the US version of DOA2. In Japan the game came out after the PS2 version and included a lot of enhancements the US version did not have. From wiki:

"The Japanese Dreamcast version (known as the Limited Editon) was released on September 28, 2000. Cover art featured Kasumi and Ayane, along with a standard cover art version with Kasumi, Ayane and Leifang. The most notable addition was that Bankotsubo and Bayman were now unlockable, playable in all but Story Mode. The new stages from the PlayStation 2 version were not included, in favor of new versions of Burai Zenin and L's Castle stages from the first game. This version also added Sparring mode for Tag Battle, Watch Mode, the User Profile System, online play, more costumes to unlock, and a Gallery Mode with character renders."

Many considered this to be the best version of DOA2 until the xbox port years later.

The game has been tested on authentic Dreamcast hardware and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Sega Dreamcast games before buying. This game will run on a US/PAL system if it is modified or if you have a boot disc (of which there are many varieties).

Dreamcast games will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.
