Notes

  • An NTSC preview build dated over six months before the final.
  • Appears to be a limited demo build.
  • "Pre" is written on the title screen. The main menu presents a character select, rather than the usual main menu.
  • The game moves straight into a controls screen and then gameplay, once leaving the title screen.
  • Tutorials are stylised as a slideshow instead of the regular ones
  • Characters begin the stage with the Slow VFX
  • Sylvia can get Mach Speed on stage 1, it is mapped on the R1 button, where her REC VFX would be in the final build
  • Sylvia's shots have a generic purple/yellow effect, instead of the rotating pink heart in the final game
  • There are no SHOOT ME targets
  • Joe can get the REC VFX on the second stage, it is mapped on the Circle button (where the zoom VFX is would be in the final build)
  • There is no tag team mechanic
  • Miscellaneous Notes:
    • Game is emulatable (in PCSX2): Yes (as of March 17, 2021).
    • Game contains dongle protection: No.
