Version Differences#

The Wii version has some differences from other versions, likely due to being started on later than the last-gen consoles.

  • The Wii version has bigger textures for the characters (usually going from 256×256 to 512×512).
  • The tutorials are given by Ramon, Rinaldo, Lombardo, Nestor, and Raul with an exclusive model of an arm with a Wii remote.
