    18:00 I love, how they messed up the background in the US and EU Release of the 360 Version of SotN.
    It is actually still in tact in the Japanese 360 release.
    I even think, in one of the EU releases, they even messed up the textbox... I think it's the german version which misses the blue background.

  • @warchild9381
    @warchild9381 2 роки тому +1

    Unless I don't understand something here, shouldn't the world record be for console specific categories? For example, there should be a world record for the Xbox 360 version, a world record for the PS1 version, a world record for the PS4 version, etc. Playing just the Xbox 360 version and getting the fastest time shouldn't be an all encompassing world record for ALL of SotN, as each version has subtle and significant differences that effect the speedruns. The strats used in one version of SotN might not work in another version of SotN. This should be for all games too btw, not just this game. If I am wrong about categories for speedruns, please let me know.
