Different animations on Japan then US mode

[NeoTurfMasta]

OK... Just one example really. I have a MVS of Magical Drop 3 and JKurtz bios replacement that allows you to change from US/Jap MVS/Home settings. Well, I finally hooked up the switch today and I noticed different animations when I set it to Japan. FOr example they made the intro Title animation animated. heh... and when the book is shown with the 2 characters talking, they zoom in 3d like on the book. Both of these are not present in the US mode. I can understand the title, because it was in Japaneese, but the book zoom in thing was taken out of the US one.

So, I'm wondering how common is this? Missing animations, voices etc... This is the only game that I have I notice do this.

It's the first time I heard about such a difference between two version of the same game.

same goes for drop 3

they even completely removed the quest mode in the us version....

and then waku 7,
no calendar....

Yeah but do they have good reasons to do that or they just fell like it ?

Last Blade 2 has quite a few animations removed on us systems. I rememnber when I first played it on my Japanese system, and felt like I was relly missing out when all I had was a US system.

many of the games are missing features found in the Japanese version. SS2 has the flaming samurai Spirits logo and rage gage. Magical drop 2 is totally missing the challenge mode in us mode. Street slam is a us league instead of a world league. Etc., etc. Sometimes it is alot of features, sometime it is just a few.


As far as intro animations go, well the all are going to say the japanese title instead of the us one <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> but usally it is done more dramitic IMO when playing in japan mode.

Magical drop is missing tons of features in US mode, which I found very surprising. I only play those games in Japan mode becuase of the character voices. listening to that guy shout "watch out" drives me buggy.

Fran, don't forget the awesome KOF 97 endings that aren't in the US mode. Like the one with Blue Mary <IMG SRC="smilies/drool.gif" border="0">
