Well, this one with the cute operator voice (voiced by Kazumi Fukagawa) IS the Japanese version (both versions are dubbed in English, by Japan), they redubbed it for the PlayStation2 version. I mean her intonation is more Japanese style cutesy Engrish than a natural dialect.
Japanese always tend to be character based, while North American tend to be cool atmosphere based. That's why moe characters tend to get mishaped when translated.
I dont know why but i sitll prefer the old mega-cd intro altough this one makes me feel happy to see a remake of it... but maybe in the old one where the voices or the overall camera angles.. it felt somewhat more impressive and i dont know why.
Project Sylpheed for Xbox 360 by Square Enix (2006), big budget version of a shooter in 3D space. Contained a lot of references of SF stuff, including a heavy dose of the one that inspired the originial one. Does this came with an 'Itano Circus' mode turned off option?
Play Station 2 (2000), a remade of the MEGA CD, used real-time 3D images.
MEGA CD (1993), used pre-rendered 3D.
FM77AV (1988), a remade of the PC-8801. Used Cosmic Century.
Basically, it's by Game Arts & Treasure, but the publisher of the game was Capcom (JP version) and defunct game company, Working Designs (US Version).
Mega CD version was hot, but Capcom sure does a sh*t job that makes games look cheap. They did it with Gundam. Never make Capcom do a remake of something else because they got not brains to do so.
Capcom didn't develop this game; they only published it. The almighty Treasure were actually the ones responsible for this unfortunately lackluster sequel (outsourced to them from Game Arts), while a different company handled the cinematics.
Wish I could get the music without the voice tracks. It's still one of the most epic themes in video game history.

The dubbing blows compared to the Sega CD intro, especially that annoying "Emergency! Emergency!" female voice. Straight out of a badly dubbed anime.

Is this the PAL version? My NTSC version has some lame backround story. I bought the game largely to see the updated intro, and now I feel gimped.

It's an amazing game. If only Capcom had published it here instead of Working Designs, it would have gotten the attention it deserved.

Wait, is this a remake of the Sega CD Silpheed? What system is this on?

Yes, this is a sequel of Silpheed of SegaCD that Game Arts produced.
The fan of Silpheed felt dissatisfied in this content though this was sold as software of PS2.
