Regional differences

Post by gavin19 »

Do we not have a list compiled of regional differences anywhere? Doesn't have to be massively detailed, just a quick note if a game has a lower difficulty level in a certain region or whatever. It would make a nice reference point.

Just a couple of times lately I have gotten score xxx in game XYZ only to realise I've been playing a dumbed down Euro version :)

I'd also like to know if there's any regional differences the US version of Ikaruga, and the Japanese version. I know the PAL version and Xbox Live version both have issues..

I am pretty sure that the Dreamcast version is the best, along with the PS1 version of Dodonpachi.

edit: Ignoring PCBs, of course.

The list would be much, much shorter if it were about games that don't have regional differences.
