Title: Another odd case of sound effect reuse
Post by: codeman38 on May 11, 2011, 11:08:29 PM

First off, listen to the sound effect when the game is loaded in the Taiwanese DOS RPG "Flame Dragon 2":

Keep that sound effect in mind. It is rather distinctive, after all.

Now, listen to the sound effect on the Mega Drive bootleg Samurai Spirits 2 when a game is started:

It's pitched down, but... well, like I said, it is rather distinctive. :)

But wait, that's not all!

Remember Shenzhen Nanjing's Wii clone, variously known as the Wow, the Sport 6-in-1, and the MiniWi? Take a listen to its Hua Rong Dao and Memory games (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz56c2QomA4#t=3m). You might recognize a sound effect in there somewhere.

I'm surprised you noticed that, good detective work =p I take it this doesn't make any connection between the different companies though, possibly just pirates ripping things off as usual.

It's still odd that two devs would steal the same sound effect, though.
