Besides the obvious addition of 3D.

Just wondering if I should go ahead and play through my copy again, or wait in case I get a 3DS one day.

So for someone who hasn't played the game ever and has both a PS2 and 3DS, which version should I play?

TotA didn't have voiced skits, either.

depends if you have people to play with or not

if you do, PS2 since it has multiplayer

if you don't, 3DS because it has better load-times


those are pretty much the only differences, aside from 3D vs TV Screen

Other way around. In this case WE (I think it was both NA and PAL) actually got a bunch of extra stuff and so this is Japan's first time getting it all. Which is why they didn't update the port much.

You have no time to ponder such questions, as Link has just grabbed a Smash Ball.

Seems promising.

You got it the wrong way around. The reason it's called "international version" in the first place is because it's traditionally the improved English version of a game, rereleased in Japan.

It's only recently that some companies *cough*Squareenix*cough* have started making exclusive Japan-only upgrades. Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, for instance, only exists because the original Japanese version didn't have a lot of the features WE got, like the Sephiroth fight, but then they started making additional content on top of that...

Anyway...

The reason I'm in this topic is because I just beat this game for the first time on 3DS. Here's my playthrough topic in case someone missed it:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/62073189

For those wondering which version to go with, I can attest to the 3D being well-done. With that and faster loading times it's probably the superior option.
