Did you know this game had a Japanese release? For some reason, there are no dumps publically available online. There are also very few videos I could find on it. So... for preservation's sake... I went on and purchased it on eBay ($10), dumped the ISO, and wrote widescreen + 60 FPS cheats for it.
It's a shame that the only main difference in versions is the text (except the intro clip). All audio is in English. The saving mechanic is also a bit different. Notice the stuttering in the audio when it tries to access and write to the memory card. Another difference is that NOSTRA's introduction cutscene is in 4:3 aspect ratio here, showing more detail than the 16:9 cropped version that the US copy of the game had. Unfortunately, there are also subtitles baked into the video as well. I don't know if there is a raw version of this cutscene in its original 4:3 ratio but it'd be a nice find if so.
There is one other difference too. The US version's ISO is 1.81 GB while the JP one is 1.59 GB. This is because the JP version is missing one of the bonus videos.
I am uploading these gameplays in parallel with the English release. A link to a playthrough of this stage in the English release is here: youtube.com/watch?v=ZdiOaJu4Ce8
I'm uploading this playthrough to Nico Nico Douga as well. This exact video is on there via this link: nicovideo.jp/watch/sm36987851
This was a media project to bring the highest quality gameplay to YouTube. The production procedure was documented on CN_Blog: blog.claranguyen.me/post/2021/06/19/spy-hunter-production-procedure
I am uploading these gameplays in parallel with my releases of the US version. They are getting the same exact treatment in quality:
- 4K resolution (True Widescreen excluding menus and HUDs)
- 60 FPS
- Properly separated 5.1 Surround Sound with a manually mixed stereo mix
- Subtitles (where applicable)
