Trivia[]
- The game was intended to be released a year later in North America under Hip Games until the publisher went bankrupt and no one else picked up the title for a North American release.
Inconsistencies[]
- El Toro wears the Ox Talisman on his championship belt as opposed to on his mask like in the show. This is perhaps due to the fact that the in-game model for each Talisman is considerably larger in size than what is depicted in the show.
- The two tigers on the front of the Tiger Talisman are depicted in orange rather than white like in the show. Oddly, the in-game activation symbol for the Talisman depicts the tigers in the correct color. The reason for this inconsistency is unknown.
- The dog on the front of the Dog Talisman is depicted in brown rather than yellow like in the show.
- The Snake Talisman is mistakenly labeled the "Viper Talisman" on the Talisman Screen as well as in dialogue.
- Xiao Fung's name is both misspelled and mispronounced as "Xiao Feng".
- Tchang Zu's name is erroneously spelled "Tchangzu", without a space.
- Rather than a gourd like in the show, Bai Tza's banishment object is a pufferfish.
- The banishment objects for Tso Lan and Dai Gui share the same in-game model, although they both resemble a calla lily rather than a lotus.
