Does SC (dreamcast) run with chankast? So there is a Namco System 12 version of SC, and there is a Naomi version? Confusing.... but it sounds like system12 is on its way in terms of emulation. TMNT in the UK: For the record, it was only the cartoon series aimed at kids that was changed from Ninja to Hero (title graphics/theme tune/merchandise all changed to match). However, the actual film, as well as the arcade game was released as 'Ninja' turtles (as was the somewhat dubious pop hit "Turtle Power" by "Partners In Kryme"). Amusingly, cheap imported merchandise flogged at markets in the UK was often "ninja" turtles (probably aimed for US), confusuing the hell out of some 7 year olds who got bought pressies, and I remember seeing kids bullied because they had the sissy 'hero' turtles.... Another thing to blame that governement with if you ask me...... ;-) |

THought I would clear something up. Soul Edge was the original arcade release. Soul Blade was the Playstation port that had significant enough changes to warant a new name, including 5 hidden characters; Sigfried! (Nightmare Prototype), Sophitia! (No Armour), Sophitia!! (Swimsuit), Soul Edge (The Boss) and Han Myong (Seung Mi-na's Father). Although all of these characters fought like preexisting charactrers (Soul Edge is Cervantes and Han Myong is Hwang). Soul Calibur was not a revamped version of the original but a sequel. It contained a many new characters and a storyline that followed on after the end of Soul Blade. Cervantes is no longer the host of Sooul Edge but Sigfried is becoming the Azure Knight (Nightmare). Soul Calibur 2 is the third game in the series but isn't much more than a better version of Soul Calibur. Kind of like Super Street FIghter 2: The New challengers was to SF2. THe Story hadn't progressed at all but there was a line up change, including the removal of Hwang (god knows why), although they did add Assassin as a bonus character who played identically. Rock was also removed and replaced with berserker. The three releases (Xbox, PS2 and Game Cube) all contained a different bonus character. Link for Nintendo, Heihachi for Sony and due to the inclusion of the character Necrid, who was created by the creator of Spawn, SPawn appeared in the Xbox version. Soul Calibur 3 continues on from the end of the Soul Calibur 1/2 story. Siggy is free from the blade and Nightmare is his own person (so to speak). New characters that push the story forward have been added and both Rock and Hwang have been returned. Necrid is gone because he was a nonsense character, and all the characters have been rebalanced to make a much more even playing field. Kilik's pole is shorter, Ivy has had her move list changed, Sophitia is less of an unstoppable butcher in skilled hands, Talim seems to be doing less damage. Astaroth still sucks and Hwang stills rules. Thats about it until Soul Calibur 4 is released. |

The only reason they didn't use robot foot in the movie was because it would be too expensive and it wouldn't drive the "corrupted youth" plot. Now the modern cartoons are based on the movies and those use actual people as foot. But the turtles never kill anybody, they just beat them up, so it doesn't matter. --- End quote --- I thought it was a rights issue. The people working on the movie didn't own the rights to the cartoon. The cartoon created characters that weren't in the comic, so they belonged to both the creators and the distributors... |
