Merchandise: Games

The KOEI Teiban Series, KOEI the Best, Playstation2 the Best, MEGA HITS!, and Platinum editions are just like Greatest Hits editions in North America — exactly the same game, but with a slightly different cover and a low price.

Note that the Asian game covers are all the same as Japan's (China, Taiwan, and Korea), while the North American and European covers are different from Japan's, and the same as each other.

Please excuse the Korean and Chinese romanizations. I had to do them myself.
