Difference is Superpang's says:
Shinu ga Yoi = Dying is good
The one on YAJ says:
Sensha = Tank
I don't get wtf that has to do with DFK but hey what do i know?!!
death is good, i imagine is a take on blissful death and not a pun regarding suicide mechanics as this was for the vanilla release(?) so not in reference to YGW
tank, if i had to make conjecture would be in reference to the military theme and theres only the ddp and ketsui that fully embrace that that in caves library. the stoicism and solidity in the style of writing/brushwork also makes more sense rather than the comparative extroversion in pangs (they are both expressive just in opposing means), and may also give credence to it being a warm-up piece; wtf do we put on this to show were doing signature boxes, i dunno theres tanks in the game, yeah okay then...

Would be nice of them to list a DoDonpachi Campaign PCB out of the blue.
Unless Shou has access to that particular PCB already.
The pcb is different so you couldn't just rom swap it and on top the only owner I know about will literally take it to the grave not allowing the rom to go public. Maybe after he dies it will get released.

Not surprised tbh. Let's hope he dumped it for his own preservation at least.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mine is that the guy owns a unique source of joy and he's the only person in the world who has the power to allow other people to also have that joy, and he chose not to let them have it, despite the fact that it would cost him nothing. Even if he wanted the cash value of the board first he could dump it privately, sell then release. He just doesn't want other people to ever have that joy.
