Enough of this nonsense that team Asobi retained most of the Japan Studio devs and thus most of the Ape devs. "3 or 4 people" total! You can count them on one chopped hand. Most of the devs responsible for the main trilogy left SCEI after 2006 nitter.gq/Genki_JPN/status/18285…

"Getchu 3 PC" recompilation project has no ties to me or the decompilation team I'm with. I will not support anything that only works with the USA build
Many thanks to @ricolantern for his findings and comparison on early Bootown! Glad to have helped with some early screenshots and footage I found, includes japanese subtitles

While going insane I noticed that Specter's chair is inconsistent in size across FMVs in 3
Oh, you thought this was a potato? You uncultured swine, it's a tanuki. And he comes fully featured!

Everybody knows "the EU version is more faithful than the US one" but how deep does it go? How much does the US dub butcher the original JP, how much does the UK script translate faithfully? Let's delve into it, starting with: Specter's introduction. Thread

For some reason the US/EU versions have Kakeru's wink texture turned into an aggressive smile
It's not well known but a full debug mode was discovered in a 2 french preview copy. Really, it's out there. Make Pipotchi disappear to your heart's content. You will need a second controller
Thanks to @ssskkkaaauuu for uploading a clean upscale of my TGS trailer and Ungirls commercial DVD rip! youtube.com/watch?v=fF_HNA_3…
And the early online promotional video. It contains very early footage with janky animations and rendering errors, especially on the Satoru side (act surprised)

Tom Bramwell why did you give the greatest game of all time 6/10? Should we tie you up like big M in the public plaza?
SCEI believes Super Monkey Ball exists because of Ape Escape. From the ape2_q&a.doc developer press document
