It's retailing for 3,800 yen here in Japan and I've seen it for as low as 3,100 on Amazon. It's a "budget" priced title, similar to how Guild 01 was, too. This type of stuff can fly in Japan, but there is no way in hell they're going to make the game over $20 in North America (or 20 Euros in Europe). When the original came out, $20 for this kind of game was worth it. I'll buy it (for 3,100 yen), but I'm pretty sure my feelings about this game aren't reflective of most Western-born gamers.
