[[Image:Windows (CN) collector's edition box art - front.png|thumb|right|Oni has had some unusual distributions. Click image for details.]]
This is an attempt to assemble a complete list of [[Oni]]'s physical releases, a process made difficult by the fact that there were some questionably-official distributions of the game outside of the United States (typically these releases did not translate the game but only some of the packaging, leaving the game itself in English). Also, it's hard to tell which regions received Mac and Windows releases and which only received Windows releases. Thus, this page is a perpetual work in progress. So far we have 30 releases documented below.

A fun fact about the official localized releases is that the localizers often received more than just the set of files intended for the final game and included everything unknowingly, which is documented [[European Mac releases|HERE]]. Technical documentation of each version's game data is found at [[OBD:Versions]].
So far we have 32 releases documented below. We do not attempt to list game bundles which included Oni; these bundles likely did not contain modified versions of Oni but merely whatever version was already distributed in that region. If a distributor is not clearly named on the package, the name of the publisher is used in the Distributor column.

:B&M: Only the box and manual were translated, and the game data was not altered.
:None: This is only true for the original English language version of the game. The U.K. English distribution is also marked as None although the [[Quotes/Manual|manual]] was lightly altered.

Revision as of 03:27, 30 March 2025

If you want to look at all our images of the game's packaging at once, see Category:Packaging images.
Oni has had some unusual distributions. Click image for details.

This is an attempt to assemble a complete list of Oni's physical releases, a process made difficult by the fact that there were some questionably-official distributions of the game outside of the United States (typically these releases did not translate the game but only some of the packaging, leaving the game itself in English). Also, it's hard to tell which regions received Mac and Windows releases and which only received Windows releases. Thus, this page is a perpetual work in progress.

So far we have 32 releases documented below. We do not attempt to list game bundles which included Oni; these bundles likely did not contain modified versions of Oni but merely whatever version was already distributed in that region. If a distributor is not clearly named on the package, the name of the publisher is used in the Distributor column.

A fun fact about the official localized releases is that the localizers often received more than just the set of files intended for the final game and included everything unknowingly, which is documented HERE. Technical documentation of each localization's game data is found at OBD:Versions.

Localization (L10n) legend
Full: The game's dialogue was re-dubbed into the target language and the materials outside the game (packaging, manual) were translated as well.
S&U: The game was not re-dubbed, but the in-game subtitles and game UI text were translated.
B&M: Only the box and manual were translated, and the game data was not altered.
None: This is only true for the original English language version of the game. The U.K. English distribution is also marked as None although the manual was lightly altered.
Packaging terminology legend
Large: Any cardboard box measuring around the same size as Gatefold. These may have a jewel case inside containing the actual game disc.
Gatefold: A cardboard box measuring 7.875" x 9.5" x 1.5" (20 cm x 24.1 cm x 3.8 cm) which has a flap that opens like a book. A jewel case inside contains the game disc. Also comes in a Holographic version with reflective coating.
Compact: A compact nearly-square box (5.5" x 5" x 0.5", 14 cm x 12.7 cm x 1.3 cm) which is also gatefold.
Keep: A keep case is the tall plastic case universally used for PS2 games.
Jewel: This means that the game was sold (to our knowledge) without a box, merely in a standard CD jewel case.
