Resident Evil 2 (PlayStation)/Supplies Regional Differences
This is a sub-page of Resident Evil 2 (PlayStation).
Supplies Regional Differences
Supplies placement can vary quite a lot between the Japanese and international versions:
- There is actually more ammo and health supplies in the international version. For example in Leon A there is 390 Handgun Bullets and 98 Shotgun Shells to pick-up in the international version, versus 345 Handgun Bullets and 105 Shotgun Shells in the Japanese version. In that same scenario there is also 3 more Green Herbs and 1 more F. Aid Spray in the international version. The international version is more generous with supplies at the start of the game.
- However, a lot of supplies are hidden in the international version: some of them are invisible in the game world, the player needs to press the OK/ATTACK button on the right spot to pick them up. In the Japanese version, the vast majority of supplies are visible, only a couple are not. Sometimes they are placed in a different spot in the room also.
A few examples below, though there are more.
