	In its original arcade format, the game was initially released as ''JoJo's Venture'' (''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' in Japanese). About ten months later, a revision adding new characters and altering various game mechanics was released, titled ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' (bearing the subtitle ''Heritage for the Future'' in Japan). The two contemporary console conversions took disparate approaches: the PlayStation port blended the aesthetics of the first version with the added features of the second and added a "Super Story Mode" that more thoroughly adapts the original manga's story through mini-games, while the Dreamcast version was a more accurate conversion that included both versions on a single disc. In Japan, the latter console would also receive a special version of the game that allowed for online multiplayer: ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future for Matching Service''.

Somewhere: Reorganizing the page (mostly based on the Final Fantasy V article). The different versions of the game (two arcade iterations plus two significantly disparate console ports, not to mention the digital rerelease) warrant some separation, I think - at any rate, it looks more organized and flows better than it was before.
