Unused Music

	"Unused" (Lounge)
	"Unused – Panic" (Lounge)

There is an unused track in the Lounge-style soundtrack, complete with a "Panic" version. The Pop-style soundtrack lacks an equivalent track.

	"Balance – Panic" (Lounge)
	"Balance – Panic" (Pop)

"Panic" versions of "Balance" in both soundtrack styles, which are supposed to play during Balance, Seesaw Game, and Last One, but never do because those games lack a trigger condition for a "Panic" track.

	"Soda Shake – Panic" (Lounge)
	"Soda Shake – Panic" (Pop)

"Panic" versions of "Soda Shake" in both soundtrack styles, which are supposed to play during Sugoroku and Soda Shake, but never do; the former because it lacks a trigger condition for a "Panic" track, and the latter because it uses "Evening Sun"'s "Panic" track instead, which goes otherwise unused.

	"Bellicus – Panic" (Lounge)
	"Bellicus – Panic" (Pop)

"Panic" versions of "Bellicus" in both soundtrack styles, which are supposed to play during Darts and Field Tactics, but never do because those games lack a trigger condition for a "Panic" track.

Version Differences

General

• Daredemo Asobi Taizen lacks the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.
• The Nintendo logo when booting the game is blue in both Japanese versions, but red in the American and European versions.
• All releases of the game use a 24-hour clock for the time display, excluding the North American version, which uses a 12-hour clock with AM/PM display.
• You can tap on the touchscreen to speed up some actions (such as the random ordering of players at the start of a match) in all versions except Daredemo Asobi Taizen.
• After completing a game, Daredemo Asobi Taizen cuts to the results screen abruptly. The other versions add a fade-out and fade-in effect.
• There is a noticeable lag when sending drawn messages and when the game saves in Daredemo Asobi Taizen.
• The order of the games in Stamp Mode was changed in the international versions.
  • This, in turn, alters which games are locked when first starting the game; they're Pig, Seesaw Game, Rummy, Checkers, and Nap in Daredemo Asobi Taizen, and Word Balloon, Ludo, Field Tactics, and Shogi in the international versions.
• The "Options" tab at the bottom of the screen contains a backlight toggle in Daredemo Asobi Taizen, which was replaced with an "Open Room" option in all other versions.

Title Screen

Japan (original)	US	Europe	Japan (rerelease)

Besides the name change, the artwork was replaced entirely between Daredemo Asobi Taizen and Clubhouse Games. The Japanese release of the international version also changes the layout slightly for the bigger title, removing the category list and adding shogi tiles and a bowling ball.

Menus

To do: There's a ton of menus, and all of them got changed. Upload images of the remaining ones.

Japan (original)	International

All of the game's menus were redone from scratch with completely different graphics; keeping only the layout intact.

N/A

When changing pages in Daredemo Asobi Taizen, the icons have a dramatic "drop-in" effect that isn't present in the other versions. The icons themselves are different between versions. Compared to Daredemo Asobi Taizen, the international versions have 8 pages instead of 7 – despite removing the "Japanese Games" category, "Board Games" was split into "Basic Board Games" and "Advanced Board Games", and the "Single-Player Games" category was added. The order, and in some cases location, of the games was altered as well.

Game Rules

To do: The dealer in Blackjack isn't allowed to flip his first card until he stops drawing cards. Hearts has different scoring.

Japan (original)	US/Europe	Japan (re-release)

Due to the large amount of kanji in Japanese, the number of errors in Word Balloon is raised from 10 to 20 in the Japanese versions, with a random selection of incorrect kanji also being unavailable to facilitate the process.

Japan (original)	International

In Daredemo Asobi Taizen, cards can be placed freely in any part of the discard pile. In the international versions, they are piled up neatly instead.

Graphics

Japan (original)	US/Europe	Japan (re-release)

The descriptive text on each piece in the Japanese versions of Field Tactics (which is actually a variant of Shogi known as Gunjin Shogi) is replaced by a visual representation in the North American and European versions, with the pieces' shape getting changed from Shogi-like to rectangular. Compared to Daredemo Asobi Taizen, the Japanese re-release altered the colors.

Japan (original)	International

The pop-up that appears when the player unlocks a new game or design was redone completely between versions, changing the layout, formatting, and design. Of note is that the pop-up in Daredemo Asobi Taizen covers the entire screen while its international equivalent doesn't, instead being semi-transparent in its top half.
