The Simpsons Game is what you get when you make a Simpsons game with every game genre.

The DS version is almost completely different from its console counterparts, except for the story. Because of limitations, a 3D action platformer becomes a 2D one, with the exception of stages featuring Marge. Also, for some reason the cutscenes in this version are CGI, which are seen in a somewhat less complete state in the Xbox 360 version's prototype.

The only "Simpsons Game" I can think of is the one where we all pretend Dad isn't an alcoholic!

Unused Sound Effects

SFX_CHAR_LISA_SAX

Sounds Effects meant for a "Saxophone Attack". This suggests that Lisa was originally going to have her Saxophone Stun attack as seen in the console versions.

SFX_CHAR_LISA_SAX_03

Unused Videos

To do: Find a way to get the ".vx" files extracted. Right now these cutscenes are being played in-game by replacing another ".vx" file, so the sound being played is from the Bartman Begins cutscene.

80b_igc01

An early draft cutscene for Around the World in 80 Bites which is also used in the Wii version's prototype.

loc_igc01_v06fe_4DS

An animatic cutscene for the intro of The Land of Chocolate (which doesn't have an equivalent cutscene either).

Music Differences

The music in this version of the game seems to be based on early variants of tracks used as placeholders in early builds of the console versions.

Hidden Name in Cutscenes

In the opening cutscene of Mob Rules, if you listen closely when Marge says the name of the "sleazy video game producer," you can faintly hear her say something under the censor beep. By reversing the audio, it reveals the name that Marge says: Larry Probst, who was the CEO of Electronic Arts at the time. This name is also mentioned in the New-Gen E3 Build version of the cutscene.

Normal Audio	Reversed Audio

Unused Victory Jingles

Some victory jingles, each representing one of the different stages. Likely meant to be used upon beating the stage, which doesn't happen since in-game the regular menu theme plays instead.
