    Default Import Saturn games that are better/different than US versions

    Hi Guys,

    I've been getting more and more into import Saturn collecting lately, and I was hoping to figure out which Saturn imports had exclusive features not found in their US counterparts. Here are some of the ones off the top of my head:

    Fighting Vipers (Pepsi Man included)
    Last Bronx (music CD included)
    Doom (better framerate)
    Daytona CCE (different music tracks)
    Magical Hoppers (different characters than Pandemonium)

    Know of any others?

    Thanks!

    If what I've read is correct then Out Run, Space Harrier, and After Burner II all have their original and arranged soundtracks in the Japanese versions, but the US Sega Ages collection only has the arranged soundtracks. However, I hear the European release has all the games with all the audio tracks, so there's that.

    Magic Knight Rayearth had a lot of changes but the voice acting for the secondary cast is atrocious in the US version and some content was cut since the source code was damaged.

    Fighters Megamix - The full Rent-a-Hero theme song. The US version stripped out the lyrics and just kept a karaoke type version.

    Battle Arena Toshinden URA - Wolf's stage is different. The cavern stage details the ceiling rock formations, which are missing in the US version.
