Revisional Differences

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.

The first release of the game was notoriously glitchy. A reissued version came a full month after release, distinguishable by a red disc label (the original release used a yellow one) and a "HOT! NEW!" label on the cover.

• VMU support added, despite the manual still saying it's missing. Your options, unlocks, endings. etc. can all be saved to VMU.
• Fixed copious crash/reset bugs all across the game.
• Fixed a bug where if Player 1 won Tournament Mode, a square with the title screen graphic would be loaded on the Congratulations screen instead of the proper character model.
• Fixed an bug where under certain circumstances the wrong assets for a fight would load, resulting in bizarre visual glitches. (For example, two main menu boxes punching character select icons out of each other!)
• Fixed a glitch where sometimes a single vertex from a character model would stretch off into infinity.
• Fixed a glitch where fighting Goro in certain circumstances would cause the wrong model assets to load, causing Goro to appear as a mishmash of other character bits.
• Fixed various glitches surrounding performing Fatalities with Sub-Zero's third costume.
