Game Boy Color · 2000
About this game
The first handheld Sakura Taisen game, released between the second and the third main ones, takes place in the original setting: the imperial capital in Japan of 1920s.
It is the Taishou era, time of rapid technological development and acquaintance with Western lifestyle in Japan.

Disguised as a group of actresses in the imperial theater, the Hanagumi Brigade consists of lovely ladies who are at the same time skilled fighters, able to pilot mechs, and to confront the forces of evil that threaten Japan.
A new commander of Hanagumi arrives at the theater to work under the guidance of Ichiro Ogami, the main hero of the series.
He leads the beautiful girls Sakura, Sumire, Honglan, and others into battle against demons.
As in most other games in the series, Sakura Taisen GB is a mixture of Japanese-style adventure with dating mechanics and tactical turn-based battles.
The light RPG angle is also present, as the girls fight differently depending on how the protagonist treats them.
Unlike other Sakura Taisen games, the battles here are entirely menu-driven.
Also, the main plot is non-linear, and it is possible to reach fourteen different endings, which also include bad ones.
The hero may even get thrown out of the theater for indecent behavior.
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks Sakura Taisen GB for Game Boy Color with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Sakura Taisen GB to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBC release dates back to 2000.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Sakura Taisen GB, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Color titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
