Everybody knows by now that the Lego video game series has changed its roots since the release of Lego Star Wars The Video Game released in 2005 and this gameplay style has been use in every Lego game ever since with other licensed properties in the series, including Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Batman, Jurassic World among others.
The second game to use the same gameplay mechanics Lego Star Wars II The Original Trilogy released in 2006 introduced extra mechanics that would later be used in Lego games afterwords, with the main version released on PC (both Windows and Mac OS X), PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360 & Nintendo GameCube. Two different versions for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS were developed by Amaze Entertainment with different gameplay mechanics to justify the limitations of both handhelds. These versions were less well recieved than the main versions of the game, with the GBA version being more like the first game on the same system just with extra characters, and the Nintendo DS version being the most infamous with it's bugs and glitches which makes it difficult to complete certain levels.
The developers of the Nintendo DS version pointed out that the North American, European and Japanese releases had differences with bugs and glitches and said that a revision version would be release. That being said however, copies of the revision releases are very hard to find, and many ROM sites only have either the original release or the revision version of the DS version. And heck, nobody has ever attempted to do a ROM hack version of the DS version to backport the other fixes from the European and Japanese releases either.
According to BowieHunter's video where he revisits the DS version, he mentions that the DS version might had been update once or a few times, which means that revision versions might exist for the European and Japanese releases as well. The Australian release of the DS version might have a revision release as well, but it is clearly uncertain at this time or if the only Australian DS release is just the bug-riddled one.
Hopefully, evidence for these revision versions for the regional releases of the Nintendo DS version of Lego Star Wars II The Original Trilogy can be found someday.
