I believe, from what I remember from what I saw in PC Engine magazines, is that the Super CD Ziria was originally given away with the original PCE Duo

Some early Super CD-ROM drives and Duo packs were bundled with the demo disc Super CD-ROM² Taiken Soft Shū. Ziria SCD was released sometime during 1993 for the Duo-R launch.

Then it really doesn't make much sense.

Does the SCD version of Ziria have a special System Card Error screen when loaded with a system card less than Super CD? If so, maybe that's the reason they decided to make it a SCD, though that's a pretty stupid reason

Yeah, it's on my System Card Warning Warehouse page. It's actually really cool and worth the format change(for me). It still doesn't explain why Hudson would bother though.

I remember Red made a buzz over their Ziria OVA (initially released in 1990). 1993 was quite the Tengai year; what with Fūun Kabuki Den and (pre-Namida) Tengai 3 Himiko's fake preview. Ziria on SCD was no wonder in this context.

Just beat Kabuki Den a half hour or so ago and checked out the debug menu; EXCELLENT GAME! It's fun and hilarious adventure loaded with crazy moments, but also loaded with some very deep dramatic moments as well. It was a pretty lengthy quest for me too, took me like 50 hours (well take away an hour since I left it on for an hour without playing it once), though I think it takes most first timers a lot less than that. I'd also like to add that Kabuki Den has the best ending you will ever experience in a RPG, it's just that epic

.

After checking out the debug mode, I calculated some data from it and Kabuki Den is quite the massive game. Check out some info I recorded:

41 Cinemas
1,534/1,540 vocal recordings (for convos and such)
25 ADPCM sound effects (13 being vocal sound effect stuff like yells and grunt; 12 being more natural sound effects like window crashes and ringing bells)
23 CD music tracks
43 PSG music tracks
170 different enemy sprites used in battles
