While not really ‘special’ or even a box, my Special SRW Z-II box arrived late last week and I haven’t had time to unbox it until now.  It includes the SRW Z2 game and also a story digest booklet which contains a summary of the first SRW Z game on PS2.

A while back I when I preordered Yakuza 4 Kuro Edition,  I managed to get the ‘Ichiban Box’ as a bonus.  I’m not sure if this was available in other countries either. While not really a special edition, I’ve decided to do an unboxing for it anyway.

The package includes:

• 2011/2012 Hostess calendar
• Yakuza 4 bowl
• Yakuza 4 chopsticks

Unboxing after the jump.

I’ve decided to start a blog of my first playthrough of SRW Z2. It will try to capture my experiences as I play the game, attack screenshots, rage resets, etc.

See the playthrough at the  Let’s Play! – Super Robot Wars Z2 index.  I’ll cover each stage as I play, so keep checking back every once in a while for updates.

People who are itching for SRWZ2 with custom firmware 6.20  or below may find themselves out of luck when trying to run the unpatched ISO.   Fortunately there are a few options available to you, and I’m going to post the one which has worked for me (I am on 5.50GenD).
