Kid Icarus Uprising VS New Light Myth: Palutena's Mirror Regional Differences

Chapter 1 - The Return of Palutena -

Air Battle - Part 1

Welcome to the start of a series where I will compare the dialogue of KI:U and NLM:PM. Like always English is taken from Linkstsr and Japanese is translated by Milkyflare.

The reason for this series is to compare the regional differences between ENG and JPN, and to see the difference in character and to have an easy access to the dialogue side by side. I'll also have a little bit of commentary for most.

I will also refer to characters by their English names for KI:U, and Japanese Names for NLM:PM.

Since there is a 30 photo limit, I'll be dividing these posts into sections, Air battle Part 1 and 2 and Land Battle for Chapter.

Now, without further ado. Here's the differences.

KI:U

Pit, with his hands clasp together:

Sorry to keep you waiting!

NLM:PM

Pitto, with his fist towards the sky:

Sorry for the wait!

Already we have different sprites, though the dialogue is essentially the same. While both are apologising, Pitto is definitely ready to go.

KI:U Screenshot 1

Pit, in his upbeat pose:

It's been too long, Lady Palutena!

KI:U Screenshot 2

Lady Palutena, in her side-eyed thinking pose:

We can chat later, Pit.

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Pitto, in his upbeat pose:

It's our first outing in a while, isn't it Palutena-sama?

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Palutena-sama, in her straightforward pose:

Pit, go forth and do your best.

Lady Palutena (KI:U) is already cutting straight to the chase whereas Palutena-sama (NLM:PM) encourages Pitto a bit. Right now (and further on) we can see how different Palutena is in both version. The Pits both remark it's been a while, Pitto conveys that it has been a while.

KI:U Screenshot 1

Lady Palutena, in her commanding pose:

But now it's time to fight!

KI:U Screenshot 2

Lady Palutena, in her commanding pose:

The Underworld Army's invading!

KI:U Screenshot 3

Pit, in his surprised pose:

Whoa! You weren't kidding!

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Palutena-sama, in her side-eyed thinking pose:

It's sudden, but...

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Palutena-sama, in her sheepish pose:

The Underworld Army has begun to attack

NLM:PM Screenshot 3

Pitto, in his surprised pose:

...That was fast! When did they...?

Lady Palutena cuts to the chase again, taking the situation seriously. Whilst Palutena-sama is a lot more relaxed, which is most evident by her sprites. The Pits are both suprised, though they portray their disbelief differently, Pit being a bit more witty, and Pitto already thinking about the implications.

KI:U Screenshot 1

Lady Palutena, in her straightforward pose:

Uses the L Button to fire.

KI:U Screenshot 2

Lady Palutena, in her straightforward pose:

You can target enemies with the stylus.

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Palutena-sama, in her straightforward pose:

You can shoot with the L Button

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Palutena-sama, in her hand on chest happy pose:

Using the touch pen, You can also aim at the enemies

There's even a difference when explaining controls. Both are straightforward until explaining aim, in which Palutena-sama changes sprites.

KI:U Screenshot 1

Pit, in his fist on his chest pose:

If these are Underworld troops, are you saying Medusa's been...

KI:U Screenshot 2

Lady Palutena, in her commanding pose:

Resurrected. Yes.

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Pitto, in his fist on his chest pose:

The Underworld Army.... It couldn't be, Medusa has revived?

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Palutena-sama, in her mournful pose:

That seems is to be the case

Once again, the Pits express their disbelief differently, with Pit not daring to finish his thought while Pitto seeks clarification. Lady Palutena is taking it very seriously, being as straightforward as she can. Palutena-sama gives both herself and Pitto a moment.

KI:U Screenshot 1

Depicts Medusa from NES:

Though the goddess of darkness was defeated long ago, she's back now.

KI:U Screenshot 2

Depicts Medusa from NES:

And as the godess of light, it's my duty to protect humanity from her.

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Depicts Medusa from NES:

Cerainly, Medusa was defeated with the "Three Sacred Treasures"

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Depicts Medusa from NES:

But, after all, she is the goddess of the Underworld...

Lady Palutena's "long ago" makes it sound like a fairy tale. Also draws attention to the fact its her "duty" to protect humans from Medusa. An interesting view on her role.

Palutena-sams's "after all" feels like a cop-out answer for Medusa's return, giving the players a 'reason' for Medusa return but not explaining.

KI:U

Pit, with his fist towards the sky: Lady Palutena, in her side-eyed thinking pose:

Eh, you worry too much!

NLM:PM

Pitto, with his fist towards the sky: Palutena-sama, in her forward thinking concern pose:

Ahahahaha, Medusa's nothing to be afraid of!!

What's interesting here is that we get to see the Palutenas' poses for when explaining Medusa. Both are in a thinking pose, but while Lady Palutena gives an expression of apathy, Palutena-sama is more concerned/worried.

KI:U

Pit, in his fierce running pose:

Medusa!

NLM:PM

Pitto, in his fierce running pose:

Medusa !!

Not much to say here haha.

Well I've reach 28 photos, and the next couple screenshots go better together, so that's all for now. Hope this is insightful for some!

Smash Bros really butchered Viridi's, Palutena's and the angels image forever, especially dark pit. I am not really sure how much Sakurai was involved on Uprising's writing but in Smash they act and fight sooo generic and souless, it's strange.
