This game has regional differences.
This game has revisional differences.The Sega Saturn was Sega's next console after the Genesis Sega CD 32X Frankensteinian addon-riddled nightmare that came before it. It was notable for using quads instead of triangles, setting it apart from almost every other 3D system...and making it more than a bit difficult to develop for (especially multiplatform games).
Its main competitor was the PlayStation, and the fact there are now four of those and only one two of these should tell you who won that particular battle.
 | To do: Rather unfinished. There seems to be more differences between the two versions. Not to mention the differences only cover the Japanese and US/EU versions of the BIOS. There are so many more versions out there. |
