I need some help figuring out these SEGA Superstars changes.

Speak your mind, or lack thereof. There may occasionally be on-topic discussions.

I need some help figuring out these SEGA Superstars changes.

Post by Rlan »

Alright, now I'm confused.

I've just downloaded the Kikizo videos over here to find a few things to add over at SoST, but I've come to a bit of a stop.

Y'see the ones under "Introduction videos"? There appear to be several incarnations of the final intro video.

1. Japanese - The first one shown had the names of the characters pop up when they appeared, including "Giant Egg" instead of Billy Hatcher. This was the group shot of them:

As well as Ulala looking back and forward, and the VF characters just sparring and looking confused afterwards.

2. The English version, with "Billy Hatcher". However, the actual font for the names were all in lower case, which was odd. They also added an "And More!!" at the end of the CG sequence.

3. Same as English, now with Capitals.

4. Now heres the odd one. The 17 meg one named "Japanese" on the Kikizo site has a whole bunch of stuff changed slightly. Firstly, all the writing has been taken off! The Virtua Fighter Characters now sparr a little differently:

Ulala's movement is different, and the group shot is also rearranged!

Now, I've been told that the PAL version includes the original style, not this new one. And I think Kulock mentioned that a few things had changed in the US version, but I don't know what. So if some people from the UK and US can point out what actually popped up in the final copy of their game? It's just difficult finding out.

I can't answer your questions, but since you brought it up, is the Eye Toy region free like other peripherals, or will a Japanese Eye Toy only work on a Japanese system?

I've no idea on the lock-out for bits and pieces like the Eye Toy.

Well, I've now confirmed that both the US and PAL versions of the game use the OLD opening, so why the hell would they change the Japanese one?

Do we still have a few chaps living in Japan? Big Smile, you've got an aquaintance or two right? Can anyone some how find out if the Japanese opening has indeed changed?

I'll pick up the Japanese version of the game, eventually... When that happens, I'll let you know.
