So very stubbly.

Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang is a relatively obscure, quirky, and light-hearted action-RPG (compared to its peers on the SNES). It details the often-sidetracked journey of a young vampire prince and his companions as they attempt to stop a pervasive evil force from conquering the world. Pretty decent!

Few outside Japan know, however, that the game was preceded by the rather unremarkable PC-Engine platformer Makai Prince Dorabocchan (1990) and followed by the SNES sports title Super Naxat Open: Golf de Shoubu da! Dorabocchan (1994), where most of the Spike McFang cast return in what is presumably a bloodthirsty battle to the death.

Hmmm...
To do:
Figure out the debug menu, and document regional centaur cleavage censorship.

Regional Differences

The US version had various changes made, ranging from censorship to difficulty adjustments.

Difficulty

  • Enemies have higher defense.
  • Spike's health doesn't get replenished after gaining a level.
  • The option to restart with full health in the beginning of an area if you die was removed.

Shop

Japan US
Hubba bubba! Oh, geez!

The shopkeeper was originally a pretty blonde girl with a unicorn horn. The American version replaced her with a radish-like mummified creature, presumably because of her large bust.
