Japanese DS Game Substantially Different Than US?

Eurogamer has the story that the Nintendo DS title Mr. Driller may have a very different feature set in the US and Japan. From the article: "According to widespread reports - which we've been unable to confirm as we haven't got a copy of either version - the Japanese version allows players to engage in various multiplayer battles in groups of up to four players using just one of the DS's game cards, whereas the US version requires multiple copies to achieve the same result." Interesting, if cynical, decision.

    for having so low uid you're certainly fast to complain about something that was not even implied in the writeup.

    it says pretty clear that it seems like that particular _game_(not console) is missing that functionality in it's us released form.

    Does it still go "Mistah Drilah!" when you turn it on like the Dreamcast one did? If not, I'm not buying, whatever region. ;)
