Sega Saturn Game’s Insane Special Edition Set Sells For $3,400
Posted by admin in Game Retail Store
Some of the video games special edition bundles we see in the U.S. might seem expensive and odd — Halo 3‘s Master Chief helmet and Modern Warfare 2′s night-vision goggles for example — but they’re nothing compared to what Kenji Eno and his old company WARP bundled together for Enemy Zero’s release on Sega Saturn.
Along with a copy of the 1997 survival-horror game, the package included a branded towel, a full leather outfit worn by one of WARP’s “companion girls” at the developer’s 1996 Tokyo Game Show booth, a replica of the gun used by the game’s star, a mystery Sega Saturn-stamped CD-R, and more (see the full list after the break).
The set was so huge, it came in crate and was priced at ¥200,000 ($2,264). WARP only produced 20 of the bundles, and Eno personally delivered each one to the buyers on a flatbed truck. They made a pretty big deal for a game that was that received mostly awful reviews!
According to GameSetWatch contributor Kevin Gifford, one of the 20 creates, #8, appeared on Yahoo! Auctions in Japan recently, eventually selling for ¥300,000 ($3,396). The winner didn’t even receive a visit from Eno! You can see the full set below:
Special edition set’s contents (as cataloged by Gifford):
