Sakura Taisen PS2 not a port

[02.11.01] » Sega plans something new for the PlayStation 2 version of Sakura Taisen.

   When Sega announced their intention to bring the Sakura Taisen series to the PlayStation 2, they made no mention whether it would arrive as a port, an update, or an entirely original tittle. Plans for the game haven't entirely solidified, but an interview with Sega executive, Tetsu Kayama, partially translated by The MadMan's Cafe, reveals a bit more about what form Sakura Taisen may take on the PlayStation 2.

   The PS2 game will definitely not be Sakura Taisen 4, nor will it be a simple port of any of the Dreamcast Sakura Taisen games. Possibilities for the new game include a side-story to the upcoming Sakura Wars 3, or a "director's cut" of Sakura Taisen 1 & 2, which would feature additional chapters edited out of the earlier versions of those games.
