it won't let me order it because of the dlc code. It says both my USA apartment address and work addresses are ineligible :*(

the one from amazon.co.jp is 18,144? at least the one with the dlc bonus code? I spent a half an hour today trying to get it to go, but I get these errors:
"There were problems with some of the items you ordered (see below for details):
- Darius Cosmic Collection Special Edition [Prime Day Limited] Game Software "Sagaiah (GB Version)" DLC Delivery"
"The designated address, the item that can not be delivered to the store, or the item that can not be delivered by the designated delivery option is included. Please confirm the delivery restrictions from here , please change the addressee and delivery option."
It's 18144 but since it's a foreign export I have this :
16800
950 (s&h)
5851 (import fees)
23601 total
You can't order the sagaia one because it's prime exclusive
even though I already had a US prime account I started a JPN amazon prime free trial in hopes to get it :(
that would make sense though.
edit: I shoulda just asked a proxy to get it for me, but I ordered the non dlc version :[

I'm happy that Darius is getting love but the games being split is straight up dumb.
Imagine if M2 did a Cave games collection and locked Ketsui and Dangun Feverun behind the special edition. I'd be so furious.

Sweet collection. I remember I first played it when I randomly bought Darius Twin on SFC at a mom and pop game shop in my town.
I had similar address errors a few years ago pre-ordering the Battle Garegga LE set off Amazon Japan Buy there was a way around it, forget though what the issue was. There seriously is no way to get the GB Sagaia code if you're outside Japan and don't have a JP Prime account all the way until February?
I don't even think if you had a JP Prime account until February would work. I think Prime is a domestic service and any foreign address won't be accepted - but I could be wrong.
Like if I lived in EU but had a USA prime account, there's no way I would be able to utilize free two day shipping to the EU.
A proxy would be a work around, but that's likely an added expense you'd have to deal with. That's why I just shrugged it off and bought the regular limited edition w/o the DLC code. If someone does find a better option directly through amazon.co.jp please don't hesitate to post the instructions :P

Eh, looks like I'll just have to let go of my OCD collectors needs this time and maybe hope somebody sells their Segaia code later. Not like it's a sterling entry in the series anyways. :p But seriously what a dumb way to handle the pre-order by SE. If it wasn't tied to JP Prime it would have been a lot more doable.

Wow, that Prime Day Sagaia bonus is some serious bullshit. UGH. I'm still getting the special edition because I love Darius but I haven't seen a collection do something this stupid since Taito Legends 2 split the Ray series across multiple platforms.
Wait, what's the difference between the regular special edition, the Amazon edition, and the Famitsu DX edition? They're all available on Amazon Japan.

First trailer is up, looks ace:
Is there another place to pre-order the LE set other than Amazon Japan? Don't want to miss out on the extra games, soundtrack and art collection. I've used Amazon Japan before but would prefer to get it shipped from a U.S. source if possible.
Edit: Yikes, LE is $209 on Play Asia. Might just go with Amazon JP.

Terrible. Are they not going to be available digitally if you go with the standard?
$200 is WAY too much.

I'm pretty sure they have to be on the eshop at some time. i guess they will be paid DLC once you get the standard version digitally.
Doesn't nintendo have some rule that every digital content of a game has to be available on the eshop?
Isn't there also store preorder games? I thought the was GB game included at Amazon or something?
Same for me.
The game had a bug though where you would randomly die without being hit by anything. I loved it coop though
Prime exclusive (for the GB version of Saigaia)
So unless you have Prime japan, you won't be able to get that specific version
Sorry to bump this old thread, but even if you HAD Prime Japan it wouldn't let you ship this version to an international address. I tried back in July and didn't realize that I had failed until today. I wish I had figured that out back then and used a proxy.
Got my Darius Cozmic Collection special edition on Wednesday. The gashapon figures below are actually from Yujin's 2008 Shooting Game Historica figure line, thought it would be fun to pose them with the set. This is an amazing special edition, people complain about G-Darius not being included but that can game still be had for cheap if you play your cards right and plus this is M2, knowing how meticulous they are I'm sure they tried to get it but guessing maybe there might be some weird rights thing with Sony? Plus this also includes Sagaia Ver 2 which according to someone in the shmups board is so rare until M2 dumped the rom for this collection it wasn't even playable in MAME. Darius II and Darius Gaiden are my faves so far.

That looks fabulous.
I cant believe the collection is retail only though. How is that even legal?
I want it so bad
Some more pics I took a few nights ago from the special edition including soundtrack CDs (two of them), acrylic mini arcade marquee signs, 125 page art book with interviews, concept art and planning documents (hopefully shmuplations translates these someday), commemorative glass plate and cloth pouch. So glad I splurged and got this for $183, already being resold by scalpers on eBay for average $350-400. This is a ridiculously high quality special edition, right up there with the Battle Garegga Premium Edition and Dragon Quest XI Edition of Lost Time box set.

I don't understand the "legal" take. Are you suggesting it shouldn't be legal to offer a game physical but not digital?
Well now your family inheritance can include your grandma's plates and the Darius/Silverhawk plate. :p
Someone (SE, Natsume, Degica, etc) desperately needs to release this in the west and on eShop. And have ALL the games for $60, even Sagaia GB. Hell throw in some more ports (Super Darius 1-2, Darius Plus, Darius R) regional versions (Super Nova, Sagaia Genesis) and loosely related games (Metal Black, Syvalion, Dasaiyas) while they're at it. Darius Cozmic Collection Complete.
A few more pics from the art book and back of the special edition game case listing all the extra games:

Kinda. Afair nintendo themselves said that every switch game has to be on eshop as well.
Makes sense as this collection is the only switch release so far only available physically. Out of 1800+ switch games.
Every other classic games collection/compilation on switch (snk 40th anniversary, namco etc etc) is also on the eshop. The Darius collection is not for whatever reason
Are there any extra features for the games?
Infinite lives, quick respawn, etc?
I recall Darius Gaiden having an Extra version that doesn't seem to be there.

Apologies about the bump but after going back and forth over the version to get I finally picked up the standard version and have a question about the individual game versions included.
Are there details out there on what the differences between new/old/extra versions here for Darius 1? Am I too off base with this:
old - original release
new - adds continues
extra - continues + different enemy setups
Darius 2/Sagaia I seem more able to find more info about online.

Never ordered something physical from them, so i'm kinda curious how long i'm gonna have to wait for delivery to chicago
