It's the same video format yeah, but it won't work on a US Dreamcast without a mod chip or boot disc.

yep hence NTSC-U for US and NTSC-J for Japan/Asia.
these are country coding and has nothing to do with TV format...

In response to your original question, there really isn't much to unlock in the US version, besides an extra costume or two for the girls, and the slightly alternate opening with Cloned Kasumi floating naked in this jelloish stuff. The US version of Dead or Alive 2 has the fewest extras out of all the different regioned releases. It is the Japanese LE version that is the one that is worth getting. It has multiple costumes for every character (with the girls having the most, of course), plus the alternate intro, a gallery, extra jpgs on the disc, and two extra characters that aren't in the US version. I haven't played the UK version, so I can't tell you if the same stuff is in that one as well. I'd highly recommend going after the LE version. You can play it on a US system with either a Gameshark, or a bootdisk.

I found this trick on this site:
http://cheatscity.itgo.com/dcdoa2.html

"4) Kasumi's new outfit

Kasumi's bikini is unlockable after 30 hours or more clocked game time. Then, you'd have to go through the game with her on very hard without spending any continues. You will get a kata scene at the end during the credits of her in a bikini. When you go back to character select mode, her 5th costume will be accessible!"

I wonder if it works. I haven't tried it because I'm not at 30 hours of gameplay yet. I'm around 17 hours of gameplay. Anyone here can try it and tell me if it works.

Hmm, what DOA2 version are they talking about?? As far as I know the US version doesn't even have 5 costumes for Kasumi, and the Limited Edition version has a schoolgirl outfit as her 5th costume.

It's funny how they didn't even show screenshots of it :roll:

I know you've been talking about the US version, it's just that the bikini costume for Kasumi sounds a little hard to believe. However, keep us posted if anything turns up :)

I sent an email to Tecmo too, but the email returned back to me. Maybe they don't have email for the moment.

I've played the Limited Edition version. I don't necessarily have a favorite character though, they all have their attributes. I can however say that my top 3 are Jan-Lee, Ayane and Bayman :mrgreen:

Ayane is great but sometimes I can't control her when she starts spining like a top. :D Jan Lee is cool! :)

"Her Fifth Costume"?

I don't remember how many costumes she had, but I'm thinking three.

I've got almost 70 hours clocked on it, have beaten it with every character on up to hard difficulty, and with Kasumi and Helena on Very Hard.

I have no bikini.

And yes, I was obsessed with it a while back.
