Weird, divergent versions of games Anonymous 08/27/18 (Mon) 05:24:57 7b2d4e No.15366407

There's two sets of Duel Masters GBA games, the Japanese one and the one released in all other languages. The Japanese games (odd pictures) are exactly what you'd expect from a video game based on an anime based on a children's card game. The English ones (even) are horrifically bad to the point it's shocking how they passed NoA's lotcheck. Weirder still is that this wasn't just one game, there are three of each for a total of 6.

DaiKatana GBC is actually a good game.

There is having fun with character portraiting (ala Custom Robo), and then there is that.

Did anyone actually play Duel Masters? I can't remember seeing a single game played my entire childhood.

Let's go deeper down the rabbit hole then. Show us some real shit.

I did, it's pretty much MTG (you could seriously probably make a mixed deck of cards from both games and play if you just multipled/divided the attack/defense values) but with a different aeshetic for card art.

I wish it didn't die off so early here, actually went on for a longass time in nipland, might still be going

i'd dump card art but i'm not on my main laptop

I remember the distinctive art but the anime was trash and didn't convey the cards well. The "dark" monsters in particular were interesting me. Everything was super slick. I remember "light" mechas as well.

Please dump art once you get to laptop

I've only touched any of the games far enough to get those screenshots. My knowledge there is worse only comes from having seen video footage of the game.

It's kind of silly, really. If a licensed anime game gets cleared to come over, you'd think the company doing so would leave well enough alone as far as just translating the content so as to appease the fans here of the original work and characters, but no, you get attempts to "de-weeb" it at times so as to try to appeal to a bigger audience, and if you're lucky, it's just the cover art that suffers for it. Though it should be said that has also happened with original vidya that just so happens to have anime visuals/writing.

Apparently it's not just the GBA games, there's actually two separate PS2 games in the same situation.

>>15366584

The English games are so horrificly cheap, I wouldn't be surprised if they thought this cheaper than translating the existing games.

Anonymous 08/27/18 (Mon) 07:01:56 615130 No.15366626

>>15366604

So, it's not just a localized version of the same base game, but one "recreated" off the base idea from scratch specifically because the existing games couldn't get cleared? What the fuck.

I don't know if they were unable to even try translating the Nipponese ones, but yet completely separate games

Pretty much. Apparently it was some trouble with the Japanese publisher. I've met one of the guys who worked on it and he said they basically had to watch the show to build the game's systems from scratch

It's interesting when a license gets handed to different companies, each doing it for a specific platform. For example, Aladdin. There's the SNES version by Capcom, the Genesis version by Virgin, and the little-know Master System / Game Gear version by SIMS. All of them were completely different from each other. And all of them are pretty good.
