Tonic Trouble: differences between N64 and PC versions?

Post by RAYMANIA »

Apart the N64's different intro and cartridge's midi adaptation sound, what are the other differences between these two versions?

Did you ever notice that the N64's american cover shows the Only For Nintendo 64 string!?
Ubisoft probably did not expect to convert it for PC and Game Boy Color later, very cool... there is nothing to do, console rules always! :D

No one can tell me if there were other differences between these two versions?

Not to sure myself, but the only difference I know of is the PC's visuals look a little better than the N64's, but that's common when porting to PC usually.

The "retail" PC version and the N64 version should be the pretty much the same. Just the intro movie is different.

There is another Pc version out there called "Bundle" (or Beta) which was given out for free with conflakes, graphic cards etc. These included much better, harder levels and graphics (but the same settings), worse controlls and so on. Google for it on youtube.

I played both PC version and I think the "Beta" is the better one even if it don't include the boss fights.

I can't say for certain, having never seen one in person, but it looks around a similar size to an SNES cartridge.

The N64 cartridges are much little than they appear.

Back to post, there are other differences between versions like exclusive contents or something that you know?

There are two different PC Versions and one N64 one. One PC Version and N64 version are completely same except MIDI sound amd no cinematics in N64 one, while other PC Version called "Tonic Trouble Special Edition" has a bit changed story and completely different level designes and that is the best version.

Yeah I know well the special edition, but I'm not interested to this.

You was told that they were completely the same, and so was not.

I've read from an old site that reviewed N64 and PC versions of game that site claims that the N64 version has only 9 levels compared with 12 levels (plus tutorial and then 13) presents in the PC version (obviously PC's final version and not special edition) and that some levels of the N64 version were also divided into several portions also shorter than PC version, it is true?

Other sites also claim that between this two versions there are many differences and that the full motion video is just the most relevant, then I wonder where else are these differences they alluded? Could you tell me specifically what else is missing from the N64 version compared to the PC version?

I need to know this details always for my collectables purposes. It would be sad if the N64 version had really suffered all these cuts they say. If you can, let me know soon, thank you so much.

PS: one last question, can you tell me if in Rayman M for PS2 and PC there are differences besides the higher resolution supported by the PC version?

Yes, but since you wrote this:

and then with my research have confirmed that not only those were the only differences, I've posted the same question here for more answers because I need to know what are all the differences between the two versions.

Also between PC and PS2 versions of Rayman M (if there are, and obviously apart the higher resolution supported by the PC version).
