And before I put this off too long, pictures from my Japanese copy of Spyro!







BEHOLD, the cover! Let's compare and contrast, shall we? Compare to the



Oh, and yes, the Japanese kanji for Spyro looks like "Ripto," so that's probably where they got the name (that's the villian in the second game, for those who don't know) FASCINATING. SORTA.





And the back! Boy, I wish I could read this. Ah yes, I forgot to mention: this came with another disc. Y'know how Spyro was always paired with a demo of Crash Bandicoot? Well, this comes with APE ESCAPE. Which is unfortunate because Crash is awesome and Ape Escape is well. Bad.





The disc and the pamphlet.



And when we open the pamphlet... STORY TIME!





Ohgawd, this art is cute ; ;





The dragon elders on the left crack me up. The hell art they doing? One is doing some John Travolta disco move and one seems to be staring up at the sky in agony.





sjfhksg THE SAD THIEVES. SO CUTE. AHGH. Also... very interesting that there's a back story for Spyro and Sparx here, even though nothing even CLOSE to this is mentioned in the original three games. My inner child is jealous that Japan got a back story and we didn't ;=;





ASHJKFSDFDK THE EXPRESSIONS HERE. Wow. Amazing.





Aw, Spyro looks so adorable ;o;





Spyro harassing sheep. Gnasty is... upset at this, apparently? IS THERE A TRANSLATOR IN THE HOUSE?





Well THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR... no really, according to the story what'd the dragons do? At least in the game Lindar calls Gnasty ugly xD





Is it just me, or does Spyro seem rather... enchanted at the sight of his Dragon compadres trapped in Crystal?



And now some miscellaneous stuff from the manual, enjoy~







































And thaaaat's it! Now, I just need to a) bug Lawlzy for the Spyro plush and Taco Bell toy she said she didn't want, b) get the rest of the Japanese versions I want, c) get the collectors edition and then WOO, I'll have a -decent- Spyro collection! Although I love Spyro, I never really strived to collect it. WELL, I think it's about time. Not like... everything of course, but my aim is to get what I like.



ASIDE FROM THAT, IN THE COLLECTING DEPARTMENT, I am pretty sure I'm going to pick up a copy of Panzer Dragoon Mini. And... I don't care what Renard says, I'll probably get a Japanese copy of Saga. I just think it'd be cool to have. And of course, continuing with POGEYMANZ. But that's all going to happen when I have spare cash again. Yep, just rambling here, really.



ANYWAY, I am very happy with mah Japanese Spyro ;-; Renard is good man. Buys his girlfriend dwaggin games.





And now (well, actually a while ago --there was an intermission in the middle of writing this) his brother is over. So I'm going to nab some food and hang out with them and have a GAY OL TIME. Mmm, a nice cool day, FINALLY. For a while it seemed to be cooling down but then last week the heat came back with a vengeance. It was nice to wake up and NOT feel like I was slathered in french fry grease for once! I helped myself to a little cup of hot chocolate and am now just MAXIN' AND RELAXIN'.And before I put this off too long, pictures from my Japanese copy of Spyro!BEHOLD, the cover! Let's compare and contrast, shall we? Compare to the North American cover . Spyro is much cuter and rounded-out in Japan, and seemingly and less ~dangerous~. I think he's adorable like this, but it's really amusing to see how he's portrayed differently between the cultures. Japan likes cute mascot-y things and America likes wise-cracking "badasses", I guess! And Sparx is always green in this version.Oh, and yes, the Japanese kanji for Spyro looks like "Ripto," so that's probably where they got the name (that's the villian in the second game, for those who don't know) FASCINATING.
