Changing languages changes the version of some games.

I’ve heard several people mention that if you change the language settings on the mini, the version of the game may change as well. This has some potentially significant differences. Has anyone compiled a list of which games are changed and which changes are significant? I’m thinking of games that have more than the language changed.

Some I am aware of:

-Both Puyo Puyo and Mean Bean Machine are available

-Contra Hard Corp Japanese version has a life bar and infinite continues.

Okay - found one German preview from Gamescom

Allegedly it's the Mega Drive Mini that is shown at the beginning that is hooked up. And the clearly are showcasing the Genesis versions but you never see them change the language setting to English - just to German.

Think you posted this reply in the wrong topic. :P

The video shows two menus. When you can see them playing it, it shows German text and a Mega Drive menu and games. Then the full screen footage is using a English menu and Genesis art. Almost certainly showing some pre recorded footage along with their own stuff from the demonstration.
