Sakura Wars Getting Update 1.01 for Western Release; Includes Target Lock-on and More

A few days ago, Sega released update 1.01 for Sakura Wars in Japan. Today Sega confirmed that the update is going to apply to the western release.

This means, among other things, that western players won’t have ti suffer through the lack of a target lock-on feature, which was for many the one major flaw of the Japanese release.
