The re-textures in this video (for both the colors and the text translations) will be released as a patch in the near future for everyone to enjoy! :)
So many Zatch Bell fans know all about Mamodo Battles, and plenty of them also know that the game was originally released in Japan. But did you know that the English version's gameplay mechanics were heavily altered for balancing reasons?
This video was made to show you all the differences in gameplay between the English and Japanese versions of Mamodo Battles! If you're a huge Mamodo Battles fan and would love to have the same game with a new spin on it, I urge you to watch this video and pick up the Japanese version for yourself! If you stick around close to the end, you'll even be treated to a great example of how to play as Ponygon and Sunbeam to their full potential!
Stay tuned, because this video also kicks off an incredibly thorough walkthrough that covers all of the story mode routes and unlockable content that this game has to offer! And I promise you, the story mode of this game is definitely DIFFERENT than it is in the English version. ;)
The next video will explain all about how to play another Zatch Bell past time: Mamodo Fury! It doesn't feature any re-textures since Mamodo Fury did a pretty good job with character color accuracy, but keep watching and you'll certainly see some models with changes to their color. :D So stay tuned and long live Zatch Bell!

Damn now I wish we got Ponygon and Sunbeam in the localized version. Their play style looks sick. XD

Trust me, it really is! Hopefully resident Zatch Bell game modder SuperrSonic can find a way to make him fully integrated into the ISO for Mamodo Battles ENG someday!

i had this game and i had no idea the japanese version was different. finding this vid was life changing

"lets be honest when you heard ponygons partner was in the japan version you just had to play it" yes, yes I did so bad that I couldn't find a rom and went for the option of homebrewing my Wii and buying a Japanese copy

@XZatchBellGamerX 4 года назад

That's some dedication! The ROM is indeed hard to find, so I went and uploaded it to Mediafire in the description in case you want to give playing it on an emulator another go. In a few weeks or so, I'll also be releasing anime-accurate texture packs for the characters and some of their spells that are compatible with that rom! :)

@blackpaul3297 4 года назад

It's not only that, there's Maestro on this game too. The spells like zagurzem are available, all this makes me want to play it.

@XZatchBellGamerX 4 года назад

@@blackpaul3297 Yup! I wanted to talk about Maestro too, but then I'd have to show off Bari as well since he's only in the English version, and that'd just clutter the video unfortunately. I figured it'd be better to show Maestro in the playthrough itself since he'd take away Ponygon's spotlight as the character who needs all their moves explained in this vid.

@ratchetandclankfan2 4 года назад

Part of me is glad it wasnt spoiled But at the same time It stole the ability for us fans to play with him And make ponygon a chatather nobody ever picked Why on earth would anyone pick to play as him besides as a joke

@XZatchBellGamerX 4 года назад

@@ratchetandclankfan2 People might pick to play as partner-less Ponygon for the same reason they'd choose Saibaman in Dragon Ball games. To give themselves a bigger challenge if the game is too easy for them. ;) In the end, I'm fine with their decision. They had the best interest of the viewers in mind, but putting this version of Ponygon in the story mode to beat over and over again felt kind of awkward and uncomfortable to be honest.

@dontegraves5051 3 года назад

I would say that Maestro's omission from Mamodo Battles is a pretty significant difference. He may have been a filler character, but the man can hold and cast from his own spellbook which is not only badass, it makes him arguably more competent than most of the roster as they have to rely on Partner AI or them being in the right position to successfully pull off the combination attack.

@XZatchBellGamerX 3 года назад

Yeah, at the time that I made this video, I thought about explaining how Bari took Maestro's place between the two adaptations as a playable character, but decided against it since I would have had to showcase a new character in their entirety, which didn't feel like one of the subtle "differences" between the two versions. Many other videos on RU-vid covered that fact, so I tried to go over everything else. I did a showcase segment for Ponygon with Sunbeam because few people I've seen on RU-vid actually explain how to play Ponygon in the Japanese version of Mamodo Battles, who is pretty tricky to get the hang of. Maestro on the other hand is just a stronger version of Zofis, gameplay wise. So I didn't feel the need to demonstrate all his gameplay. It was just... an extremely obvious fact and probably wouldn't have been new information to just about anyone. Ponygon having his partner is something a lot of ENG Mamodo Battles owners knew, but again, his playstyle is unique, never touched upon, and needed some explanation.

@dontegraves5051 3 года назад

@@XZatchBellGamerX Maestro can fly like Zofis but I wouldn't say he plays much like him at all. I admit he's simpler to use than Umagon though. Maestro is *significantly* stronger than the entire roster and has a slightly better version of Gash's Rauzaruk. And he has a shield that is much different.

@XZatchBellGamerX 3 года назад

@@dontegraves5051 Maestro's melee attacks are slower and easier to punish, and you're right that his shield makes a difference. It means he can safely take flight and then hover all the way past the opponent in the air, and still protect himself with a shield spell since it will defend him from behind. But his flight mechanics and aerial attack spell resemble Zofis' a lot imo when it comes to execution.

@isaiahdray 3 года назад

Awesome video! Didnt know the Japanese version was so different! Getting used to playing on very hard now thanks to you

@XZatchBellGamerX 3 года назад

Hey, my pleasure, buddy! :) I truly think the hardest difficulty setting on the Japanese version is even more challenging than the hardest on the English version, probably because the AI is working as it's supposed to with the regular game mechanics, like charging up the Heart Energy meter for example. It's definitely a fun time though! Spells get cast so much more frequently in this version thanks to how easy it is to control your mana pool for them.

Yes! New video! And apparently I was the one who gave the first like, (I liked all the videos, without exception) And the video is the best version of the game, congratulations again for the great job, X! The edited title of the game was brilliant! I laughed a lot when I saw it, just perfect! These series will be sensational! I can't wait to see the new videos! And about my journey in Mamodo Battles, i knew this game was amazing, but not so much! I can't stop playing, the problem is that I have 3 younger brothers, so, I can't play the story mode, but only the 2P mode, it brings me great moments! But you can be sure that during the series, I will follow along on my game save too! One question: Does the channel have any social networks? (Twitter, Instagram...) Sucess!

@XZatchBellGamerX 4 года назад

Hey! That's so kind of you, I really appreciate it! :D Thank you for the compliment about the edited game title, I figured it would work well enough since the game is so enhanced with the power charging, Ponygon with Sunbeam, and the totally different story modes that it might as well be called Mamodo Battles 2. lol! And yes, Mamodo Battles is super fun for any die-hard Zatch Bell fan like us! I'm so glad you're able to experience that again after all these years! That's awesome that you can play the game with your siblings, it must be a blast! I really hope you can get around to completing the story mode sometime because that's how you unlock Kido and Wonrei! You'll also have to do either story mode or time attack for Ponygon and to get enough points to buy cards and unlock those ancient mamodo arc characters! And yes, this channel actually does have 2 social networks so far, and I'm working on a third! Twitter: twitter.com/ZatchBellGamerX Reddit: www.reddit.com/user/ZatchBellGamer/

Que versão maravilhosa

@Saved___ 3 года назад

thank you for uploading this video! my brother and I were recently looking at the series again as it is a good piece of nostalgia. I was wondering if you know why bari and gustav were cut from the japanese version?

@XZatchBellGamerX 3 года назад

That's awesome, it's great seeing more people get back into Zatch Bell after all these years! :D So, in Japan, there were two Mamodo Battles games... here overseas, we only got the sequel game. In the first game of the Japanese version, Ponygon had no partner, Bari and Gustav were in it, and Zofis, Victoream, and Laila were not in it. In this Japanese version of the sequel game, they have Ponygon WITH his partner, and Maestro. Since the overseas version "Mamodo Battles" didn't want to spoil who Ponygon's human partner would be, they imported the partner-less Ponygon instead from the first game. And to make up for not having Maestro (since he too would have been a big spoiler, because the kids who watch the show would see that he's casting spells without a partner), they imported Bari from the first game to replace Maestro in the English Mamodo Battles game. They probably thought it would be safer to include a character who will appear in the English dub anime soon, instead of someone who would show up long afterward. Maestro appears around episode 95, and when Mamodo Battles was made, I heard that they only bought the first 92 episodes of the anime... so they probably didn't want to contract a voice actor for a character who may not even appear in the show. I hope that helps answer your question.

@SerenitySpiderMonkey 7 месяцев назад

one thing i've always been curious about is; is it possible to accidentally cast a defense spell too early against an ultimate spell (for example Seoshi against Dioga Teoradom) so that the shield fades and the ultimate spell does full damage. I used Seoshi as an example since it seems to stay active for a shorter time than some other shields

@XZatchBellGamerX 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! To counterattack on the Gamecube version, it is indeed bound to the Y button. First, practice sidestep evasion when a projectile is coming your way. With that same timing when a projectile is about to hit you, you need to press Up+Y or Down+Y (for the JPN version). Instead, it's Left+Y or Right+Y (for the ENG version).

Only for the ancient mamodo arc, which is season 2 of the anime. It focuses on that in the entire story mode, because the characters are trying to find the ancient mamodo (or find allies to help them fight the ancient mamodo) and then go to the ruins at the end to deal with them, Zofis, or both.

As it says in this video, the Mamodo Battles English version and the Tag Battle 2 Japanese version feel like completely different games because of what the English version removed and added to theirs that just changes the overall core gameplay and many of the game's features.
