0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Turns out there's a lot more. Here's the other ones I could find that aren't already on your list. US PAL (Different Name) The Adventures of Kid Kleets Soccer Kid Adventures of Yogi Bear Yogi Bear's Cartoon Capers Blackthorne Blackhawk Brawl Brothers Brawl Brothers: Rival Turf! 2 Capcom's Soccer Shootout Soccer Shootout Contra III: The Alien Wars Super Probotector: Alien Rebels Dennis the Menace Dennis Flashback: The Quest for Identity Flashback Garry Kitchen's Super Battletank: War in the Gulf Garry Kitchen's Super Battletank Goal!

The US version of "James Pond Crazy Sports" is "The Super Aquatic Games Starring the Aquabats" not "James Pond Aquatic Games". "Eric Cantona Football Challenge" is PAL but it's specific to France. The rest of Europe called it "Striker". There are some other edge cases too. The Star Fox competition cart got a rename to match it's Pal name: "Star Fox: Super Weekend" / "Starwing Competition". "Tony Meola's Sidekicks Soccer" (US) was not released in Europe but was released in Brazil as "Super Copa". "Kevin Keegan's Player Manager" was not released in the US but in Germany it got renamed to "K.H. Rummenigge's Player Manger". My source for finding these was Wikipedia, but I verified them with snescentral or when necessary, ebay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing some PAL collecting right now so I figured it might be nice for other collectors to know the in and outs as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was like the most famous series of football games in the 90s by a long shot. I don't even like these games, and I'm surprised if you haven't heard of this. People are still having regular tournament in these games, and they made a reboot/spiritual sequel game only a few years ago. I'm also surprised to see it's even been released with a different title (and an incredibly anonymous one, too), which seems like betraying it's own brand.

OptOut | 8,895 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 All I want to know is who in the FUCK is Garry Kitchen, and who put HIM in charge of the Battletanks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 3,013 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) I could be mistaken, but I think Lost Vikings II: Norse By Norsewest lost its subtitle in the US version, right? Also, Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse doesn't have that subtitle in Europe. I also think both subtitles only ever appear on the box, so I'm not sure if they count. But the same goes for Flashback I believe. Edited May 18, 2020 by Sumez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Japan, Congo’s Caper was called Joe and Mac 2. In USA, Congo’s Caper is still Congo’s Caper, so we solved the problem by changing the 3 to a 2.

If you’re already guilty of changing “Joe and Mac 2“ to Congo’s Caper, then you may as well just stay with it and change Joe and Mac 3 into Joe and Mac 2. If I grew up in PAL territory with Joe and Mac 1 and 3, I’d be losing my mind wondering why we didn’t get Joe and Mac 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 3,013 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 But it's still the third Joe and Mac game? I'd rather be confused about where a "missing" game is, than be confused about what game I'm playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
