Executive Meddling/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* ''[[DJMAX]]'' games from ''DJMAX Portable Black Square'' onwards (save for ''DJMAX Technika'') have an "auto-correct" feature that will hit the correct note for you if you hit the wrong button. It's speculated that Pentavision implemented this feature to avoid legal issues with [[Beatmania|Konami]].

* At some point after releasing ''[[Tales of Eternia]]'', Namco (and after the merge, Bandai Namco) decided not to localize any other 2D Tales game. For that reason, many great [[Tales (series)]] games never got to America (except for ''[[Tales of Phantasia]]'' due to special reasons), such as ''[[Tales of Destiny]] 2'', ''[[Tales of Rebirth]]'', and ''[[Tales of Hearts]]''. ''[[Tales of Eternia]]'' even got a PSP port in 2005, but despite the fact that said port was released in Europe no American version is in sight.

*** ''Tales of Vesperia'' itself is likely a major source of a lot of meddling, when the [[PlayStation 3]] version was announced, even BEFORE the European version for the 360 was released, with ABNORMALLY high amounts of new content, a lot of japanese fans decided to poke about the DVD and discovered traces of these "added" contents were present in the code already. Then there is the ingame remarks like [http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/09/21/bandai-namco-shamelessly-lied-to-xbox-testers/ this]....and the new character having identifying marks all over the 360 source code. All fingers are pointing at Sony and Namco for this one.

** Regarding ''[[Tales of Eternia]]'', there's actually a different reason for that -- It was originally changed to "Tales of Destiny II" because of potential copyright infringements with ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'' toy lines. Some have suspected this was the reason for the PSP port not getting an American release, but on the plus side, at least the PSP is region-free; and it's possible to get an English version.
