Finally,it has the stories of each character in english.

Says there is a 7th secret character available ,which suspected is Goodman,is he in the Japanese version?i can't remember

:0

Will NGBC be released in Europe? ;___;

Not just NGBC. IIRC XI and Tenka are getting PS2 releases there as well.

Chalk it up to the fact that the games actually sell well there.

Defuser: Yes, it's Goodman.

... now I'm being forced to import NGBC and SSTK (lol there are more games?) in PAL format.

I don't care if I don't have a PS2

Thread title renamed to broaden its scope, feel free to post in here differences between Japanese and European release, and what not...

Well..so far..

- They removed the ending texts from NGBC..they didn't even bother translating them, only the pictures are displayed
- All demo text is gone, meaning the pre-fight stuff for the bosses.
- The additional menu text is gone (like explainations of the current option selected, on the bottom. Though I'm probably getting this mixed up with MI2
- Obviously the online mode is gone.
- The mode select and option select screens have static backgrounds as well (the city backdrop had lights that well..moved..and some other stuff <_<;) But for some menus it's static and others have them moving.. I think menus where they edited stuff out, they left it with a static BG
- On the other hand, I think the sprites are cleaned up a bit. It's been a long time since I've played NGBC and all, but I could have sworn they barely had anti-aliasing before, and now everyone seems a little more smoothed out..but it might just be me. Someone should try a side by side comparison?
- The training mode text on the left is 'Owwwww' to the eyes. They changed the font (and probably the text itself? Before it was fine..) to this rediculous color that doesn't blend with the darkened BG at all.
- There's a massive framerate drop on the ORDAH/LEADER SELECT screen, when it's moving all 4 portraits to their sides. This wasn't there in the original, and it stops as soon as they get to their place..awkward.

That's all I've noticed..

At least you're getting a release. We Yanks in the States have to suffer! :-(

I'm in the states too, I grabbed it to check out the english text, and was hoping for neat ending stuff..

Anywho, they left DUMMY FILLER TEXT in for the Winquotes. As a result, one of Iori's winquotes is..and I quote..

"Dummy3"

.... =/

IMPORTANT...."Does ngbc english version have improved loading times?"

No, it's about the same.

Anywho, a few other characters also have dummy text too, it's a biiig mess =/

What confuses me is this - the text has already been translated for the Atomiswave version of NGBC. The winquotes, cutscenes etc all have full English text.

So why didn't Ignition just use that translation instead? o_o

sounds like...

i) someone didn't have time to copy and paste
ii) they didn't have legal right to do so
iii) couldn't afford to fix this problem
iv) somebody's a freakin retard

Well, shit. Not even faster loading. Where did i read about it in the first place anyway?
