To do: Regional translation differences in the "How to Play" ("HOWTOET") video to document as it has different narrators, and transcript differences in the narration for every different language in each regional version of the game, including; English (European, PAL) English (British) English (USA, NTSC-U) Japanese (NTSC-J) Chinese Korean French (European-exclusive) German (European-exclusive) Italian (European-exclusive) Spanish (European-exclusive) Danish (European-exclusive) Dutch (European-exclusive) Finnish (European-exclusive) Norwegian (European-exclusive) Portuguese (European-exclusive) Swedish (European-exclusive) Prerelease European and Japanese demos, and a European beta version of the game exist. Look into their ISO roms and document for any prerelease differences.
