Resident Evil Outbreak
Resident Evil Outbreak (2003)
▲

▼
While Capcom shut down the US online servers for Outbreak on December 31, and the JP servers on June 30, 2011, fans have created a replacement server for the JP version. The server was reverse-engineered by capturing the information communicated between the game and the server while it was still running. However, because the different regions used different matchmaking services, and packets were only captured for the JP version, they have not been able to create a server compatible with the US version of the game.

Franchise: Guilty Gear

Out of every character presently in the arcade version of Guilty Gear Xrd, Ky Kiske is the only character that retains his leitmotif from a previous game, "Holy Orders III", from Guilty Gear 2: Overture. It overrides the game's music in battle if Ky's ponytail is undone at any time during the match.

Attachment The battle with Psycho Mantis includes a pre-fight "demonstration" of Mantis' psychic abilities, in which Mantis will read the player's memory card. If the player has save data from one of several Konami PlayStation games on their memory card, Mantis will reference that game by name. The games that trigger this dialogue are Suikoden, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Vandal Hearts and Azure Dreams.

In the Japanese release, both Policenauts and Snatcher are also recognized. Having save data from both of these games will trigger a message from Hideo Kojima, thanking the player for their continued support, but since both of those games were only released in Japan, this message cannot be heard normally in international versions of the game.

Random copies of the Vectorman cartridges came with a different ending screen that stated the player had won a special prize in Sega's "Play to Win" competition. The player was instructed to call a specific phone number to receive their prize. The grand prize of $25,000 was awarded to a 12-year old player in Albuquerque, N.M. It's not known how many of the other prizes (one prize of $10,000, and 90 prizes of Sega Saturn systems) were awarded before the contest ended on July 31, 1996.

In the Western release's instruction manual, Ganondorf is addressed by the full name "Ganondorf Dragmire", while Ganon is addressed by the alias "Mandrag Ganon", which means "Ganon of the Enchanted Thieves". This was the result of Nintendo of America's translation team wanting to make their own contribution to the story. While these names do not appear in any game in the series, Ganondorf Dragmire has been used in Western promotional materials as recently as 2024.

Each of the characters that didn't appear in the arcade release of the game are paired up against one of the four newcomers for their destined battle.

* Heihachi/Spawn/Link are paired against Raphael
* Necrid is paired against Talim
* Sophitia is paired against Cassandra
* Seong Mi-na is paired against Yun-seong

The rest are mutual battles between arcade version characters.

These images are taken from the frame buffer, and therefore reflect the current state of the 3D model of Mario's head that the player can manipulate.

The game was released in Europe and Japan as Donald in Maui Mallard, but in the US, it was released as Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow, and all references to Donald Duck were removed. This was due to Disney's marketing department, who claimed that Donald Duck was no longer 'hip' in the US.

The PC version of Titanfall has an install size of 48GB, compared to 17GB on the Xbox One version. This increase in memory size is because the audio in the PC version is uncompressed. Lead engineer Richard Baker explained that this was done so that lower-end PCs don't have to dedicate processing power to audio decoding.

Attachment In the mission "Blast to the Stone Pillar" in Jolly Roger Bay, the Power Star is contained within a box in the Western versions of the original game, but not in the Japanese version. This was likely changed during localization to make the star's position less obvious. However, all versions of the Nintendo DS remake leave the Power Star out in the open.
