Regional Differences#

• The US release lacks support for the Taisen Cable, and multiplayer as a result. Oddly, the box for the US version claims two-player linkup support, while the box for the European release claims to be single-player only.
• The US release has a different main menu layout.
• The Japanese version slightly reorders the music tracks on the disc to more closely match the track order of the PlayStation version.
