ZANSHIN LITE 1.0 was released today on iTunes!! Actually, ZANSHIN LITE was sent for review a number of days after ZANSHIN 1.1 and it came out earlier. Wow! What a quandary we’re in!!
Essentially, ZANSHIN LITE 1.0 is a lite version (a small subset) built off of ZANSHIN 1.1 so you can get a sneak peak of some of the improvements in 1.1. It will allow the player to get a feel for the game before they buy the full version.
Here’s a quick rundown of the LITE version:
- Single player Tournament and Free Play modes only…NO TWO PLAYER MODES.
- EZ and LT controllers with only 11 of the 27 total fight moves (based on version ZANSHIN 1.1)….NO ACCESS TO FULL FL CONTROLLERS.
- Some menu enhancements seen in ZANSHIN 1.1 for Single Player modes
- NO PERSONALIZATION of game sounds/taunts or controller mappings.
- NO MINI GAMES (”DODGE” or “MARATHON”)
It is my hope that ZANSHIN 1.1 will be released soon. Until that time, please keep in mind that the ZANSHIN LITE app has some features found in ZANSHIN 1.1 but 1.1 has NOT been posted on iTunes by Apple.
