My husband found this nifty post showcasing pretty much everything about the Japanese version of the first Spyro game and I figured you guys would like to see it.

awesome find !
oh and the japanese Spyro looks so friggin' adorable x3!!

Heheh. I love Japanese Spyro. Especially when he calls out 'Yatta!' when you find everything in a level
But.... They've missed out a few pages there

As I said before, "Spyro" sign in Japanese looks like "Ripto", so maybe Spyro is really called Ripto? Who knows

Maybe in Japanese sign "Ripto" is same like "Spyro"? If this is true It would be the most bizzare thing I`ve ever seen .

Nah, it's スパイロ - The kana for 'Supairo'. The idea for Ripto was gained from the title font used.

Ripto is リプトー 'Riputo'.

But still it looks like Ripto

Naw, definitely Spyro though, but yeah, that was how Insomniac got the idea

Japanese is the only other language I can speak, read & write

Impressive Spyro.I wouldn`t even be able to notice a difference between chineese and japanese signs

I was all awwwwwwwwwwwww when I saw japanese Spyro. He's so cute

Whoa, Razz! . . . I thought you left this forum a long time ago.

Anyway. Cool find there. This could work for wonders for some users here who wanted to know a lot about Spyro's Origins.

I need to buy this! D:

GREAT pictures. Thanks for posting. The storybook-style manual is amazing. Lucky Japanese. Also

BEHOLD, the cover! Let's compare and contrast, shall we? Compare to the North American cover. Spyro is much cuter and rounded-out in Japan, and seemingly and less ~dangerous~. I think he's adorable like this, but it's really amusing to see how he's portrayed differently between the cultures. Japan likes cute mascot-y things and America likes wise-cracking "badasses", I guess! And Sparx is always green in this version.

Interesting.

I hate the Japanese Spyro games.
They edited alot of unwanted things, and now it sucks. >:c
They Japanese even said it was the worst game they had ever had! D:

Reasons:
1. Unwanted signs.
2. You just fade in and fade out when you go to a whirl wind or portal.
3. They edited all the awesome things out of levels. In the Artisan Home, you know the little tower you use to get to Town Square? Yeah, that has no roof.

What? Are there rules in Japan to add such things?

Little pamphlet on the right? Not with mine.

Nope, not this either...

Or this...

Where..... Did you hear this, if I may ask?


And GamingMaster_76, that means your copy isn't 100% sadly. Most games don't come with them, mine neither
Did yours come with the Ape Escape demo?

Could you give a little descrip about what each book is about? xD

Yeah, it came with the demo. Seller said it was 100%.

And... I don't understand Japanese. >.> Writing. At. All. Most of them are about the overworld and navigation anyway.

Ah, my seller actually admitted it was missing the card. He also said it was dirty, but it looked minty clean when I got it o_o

I think the one with the demo is a 1st edition, from what I know

I have the japenese version. i don't speak japenese, but i know what spyro says because i've played the last game so much.

Very awesome!

Yeah Japanese Spyro is Epic I also own a copy got it a few months ago off Ebay for £24. Mine is incomplete but just comes with the cute story art manual and Ape Escape demo. I Also have a incomplete copy of Spyro 2(just disc and case no manual, or front cover) off Yahoo Japan and I must say that it is harder to get in comparison to Spyro 1.
I Love Spyro's Japanese voice 2nd place to the English ones and the signs in the games didn't really bother me.
The manual however is awesome and I love the style .

what i am wondering is why japanese spyro is so different from the english one! and what the signs everywhere say.

omg that is SO cuteeeeee <3<3<3

So Spyro looks like Ripto in Japanese, so what does Ripto look like in Japanese?

Who was the colorblind dude who said green would be a good color for Sparx?

Everyone knows green Sparx is a symbol of imminent death.

This is cool, anyway. Thanks for sharing.
