It's a hoot to see them hamming it up to the max with all the cliched Cowboy & Indian stuff. Laughing

New York and Wild West shouldn't be in the same title together, and they should end by dancing the YMCA. Laughing

The Sakura Wars games were always set in theaters of some sort, so they have a ready excuse for putting whatever they want into their stage plays. And, while the big travelling Wild West shows were over before the period of the games, western themes were not unknown in theaters at the time. For example, Ziegfeld's 1928-1929 production of Whoopee! probably looked kind of like this. (but with more scantily-clad Indian maidens)
