Mr. Lee may be real? There's a Han Jong Lee credited in Parasite Eve 1 as a 3D programmer, the timeline roughly matches up

...whilst Mizoguchi took the “you’re 10 years too early!” thing too literally.

Between the Japanese and English versions, some characters had certain stats changed for unknown reasons. Ray ate too many hamburgers, Feilin had a growth spurt and DOB change...

New on Neo Geo Wubba Wubba: a list of differences with some prototype Samurai Shodown II footage. Nothing too major, but it seems Nicotine's name was decided late on.

There are some more unused building sprites, but I haven't figured out a way to get these to appear yet (if there even is a way).

Some useless Earnest Evans trilogy trivia: years ago, I found some unused building sprites in El Viento. They get loaded during the start of the fourth level, but are never seen. Turns out if you die, then use a continue, it'll make the building sprites appear when the level restarts.

Four years later they nearly did it again. The editor must have gotten paid more this time round

Thanks! I'd tried looking into this when you asked before and thought of the first Panzer Dragoon game, but the boss I was thinking of didn't have the worms.

Extra bonus: a scan of the box and manual for the Japanese Neo Geo AES version of Samurai Shodown IV, which has some prototype screenshots right on the back of the box.

Finishing off the Japanese Samurai Shodown series with scans of the second, third and fourth games, along with a manual scan of the Bushido Retsuden RPG game. That’s all of the Neo Geo CD versions scanned now!

Still kind of concerning how Andy is punching Terry to his death on the cover art though. What does Mai see in this jerk?
December 20, 2024 at 3:25 PM
The highlights have to be the special move names, some of which just seem to be completely made up. "Fire of Zen" indeed. Plus there's some very good art of our heroes at the fast food place.

Christmas comes to South Town early this year! Here's an English manual scan of the first Neo Geo Fatal Fury game.

30 years ago today, SEGA shot itself in the foot by releasing the 32X in America. I've gone over my old 32X Database shrine and made it neater, plus added some more info about the unreleased games.

Finally, the most common change would be the psychedelic backgrounds during fight scenes -the colors for these got changed a lot.
November 14, 2024 at 11:07 PM
Another popular change would be to change the lighting effects to different colors.
November 14, 2024 at 11:06 PM
The rarest changes are when characters were redrawn -I only found a couple of these throughout the show’s entire 152 episode run.
November 14, 2024 at 11:06 PM
One thing that happens a lot is that backgrounds would be changed. Sometimes it’s incredibly minor differences, but sometimes the backgrounds are changed entirely. And sometimes this would actually make new errors, such as Yuda being outside Mamiya’s village instead of in it.
November 14, 2024 at 11:05 PM
Occasionally, the recap footage would fix some errors that were there originally. This doesn’t happen too often though.

Whilst making overviews of every Fist of the North Star episode, there were some oddities I noticed during recap or next episode preview scenes. One common difference is the reused footage is often missing lighting effects which were there originally.
