Regional Differences

Title Screen

The title screen differs visually between the American and European releases, and also differs for each language.

American	European English	Spanish	Italian	French	German

In the American version, there is a ‘Credits’ option, whereas the European version features an ‘Options’ menu instead. Selecting this brings up a screen with the options ‘Credits’ and ‘Languages’.
