I read somewhere that the US and EU versions would include it though? In the periph.zip file (info about NY peripheral usage) on the website, it says: ------------------------------------------ The following conditions should be met by the game for it to pass the tests placed upon it by the European Quality Assurance Group, and are recommended for Net Yaroze Members. - The game must be playable with the standard Controller. Controller Port 1 always takes precedence over Port 2. So in the case of a single player game, the game only responds to Controllers connected to Port 1. blah, blah, blah.... -------------------------------------------- this is what I was thinking of regarding Ape Escape.
