| Is Soul Calibur playable with MAME? |

What I find most confusing about the name change is the fact that they are both English titles. If the Japanese version was some wierd title Americans couldn't understand I could see it, but what's really the point? Another example of this: In the UK The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are Known as the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Why? Dear god why? TMHT sounds silly while TMNT sounds really cool (well at least to a 12 year old). And these are both english speaking countries. Publishers are crazy.... that's all I can figure. |

I'm sure you know this, but using the word Ninja was against the "law" in the UK. Ironically, the theme song still has Ninja in it though. ??? Not sure for the difference between Edge and Blade. Offhand, I agree with you, there had to be a point or at least I hope so. |

Im from the UK i didnt realise the word Ninja was against the law. Soul Edge/calibur were just the JPN,US/EU names. the orginal games were arcade and PS - they were then jazzed up for DC release - and finnaly a number 2 was stuck on the end of the title for the arcade, xbox,GC,PS2 - each version featured a unique character. Xbox - spawn GC - Link from Zelda PS2 - hiachi from Tekken And just about to be released is Soulcalibre/edge 3 for the PS2 which has a make your character section, with literally thousands of possible combinations. and some new characters etc.. plus the orginal 'soul road' mode Out of interest I could achive 96 kills in survial mode on the DC (thats 1 energy bar on ultra-hard settings), anyone reached a hundred or more? |

Not sure it is against the law to say 'ninja' in the uk, I just thought there were trying to make it sound less violent or something. Either way, pretty stupid. |

Not sure it was a law, hence the " ". I won't pretend to know anything about this my knowledge of this comes from history.dat, my knowledge of the UK comes from books and coworkers. ;D --- Quote ---The UK title for this game (as well as both the comics and cartoon series), "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles", replaced the original 'ninja' of the title with the less threatening "Hero". This is because the Conservative British government of the time wouldn't allow ANY 'children's product' to include the word 'ninja' at any point during its content, arguing that to do so would encourage the children of this fine country to use violence against each other. --- End quote --- Also, as far as theme song goes for the game, there is the UK version dumped that says "Ninja" and some one a month or two ago on Mametesters had a board and verified his used "Ninja" as well. I can see them being lazy for the game, wouldn't of made sense if they were lazy for the cartoon. |
