I was just talking to a guy in IRC that needed help in
Harvest Moon DS. Apparently his dog had gotten stuck under a toilet as the result of some sort of glitch. I looked into the matter and Wikipedia reports that there are apparently a
shitload of glitches in the (U) v1.0 releasehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_Moon_DS#Glitcheshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_Moon_DS#Glitches, including the toilet pet glitch.
Wikipedia goes on to explain what exactly happened with the production of the game. Natsume first released the game in Japan, this original version contained a ton of glitches. They later however, began producing an
updated version (Version 1.2, guess they updated twice?)http://advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbrelds.php?id=0105http://advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbrelds.php?id=0105 with all glitches removed. Natsume began to work on localizing the (U) version, but for some reason, they decided to localize the original glitched Japanese game (v1.0) and release it in the U.S.
Not only did the U.S. version contain all the original glitches from the (J) version but, due to localization, had EVEN MORE glitches added...
Anyways, the (E) version fixed most glitches (although some features were removed) and the (U) version was updated with a Version 1.1 release.
