So tonight I had a nice conversation on Twitter about changes that occur between several versions of a game (mostly ports), like a modified texture to replace a brand name by another, that kind of things...
This reminded me of a noticeable difference between the Wii and Gamecube version of Chibi-Robo, at the very beginning of the game : the 1st one displays a large panel saying "happy birthday Jenny", making us immediately know what day it is.
The GC version, on the contrary, displays a drawing I find irresistibly cute, and waits for us to see the family to understand it's the girl's birthday (OK there's a cake on the picture, but it disappears quite fast).
Below is the comparison of the two.

I'm not really a fan of changing textures (other than translating Japanese text like in Reginleiv, obviously), and as I stated on the Earth Seeker thread, I even find it counter-productive sometimes (like I kept the French in certain textures, because the game was supposed to display the panels as "relics" from the ancient Earth).
But in that case, the GC version is so overly cute I'm considering trying to find the texture, and see if I can't at least make a mix of the two?
What do you think?
Yours truly.
