+The first version of the game was released for the [[GameCube]] in Japan, in October of 2001. Throughout the next months, the game was released in North America, under a slightly different, localized version, and later, it was released in Europe and Oceania, under yet another version. Although these three regions received a different version each, the differences between them are minor. The biggest one is that the Japanese version uses Japanese text, while the others use English or European-language text. Not much changes between the US and the European versions, but it became possible to skip the [[sunset]] cutscene in the European version.

+Version, may also refer to {{npcp1}}. In 2008, the game was ported to the [[Wii]], under a significantly different version. The biggest differences are that the controls were updated to make use of the Wii Remote, and the ability to retry from any previous [[day]] was added. Like before, three different versions of this game were released, one for each region. The differences between these are very similar to the differences between the three GameCube versions.
