First of all, THANK YOU so much for bringing the Lethal series, I've been wanting to play this series for a long time ever since seeing gameplays of it on YouTube but sadly never could due this game's obscurity and importing Japanese games was not feasible for me due to the extremely high price and shipping costs. As for the issue at hand, this game strangely does not support D-pad/POV Hat controls for gameplay and menus meanwhile trying out the demo of Lethal Crisis 1 has full D-pad support for that game...

wth is this version of the game? Does anyone have any information on this? Is it a trial version/special edition? dealer link:
