Attachment The logo on the game's cover of the North American release was altered to feature the Zombie walking upright instead of hanging from the tree. This was due to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board's (ESRB) strict guidelines about the types of content which is considered appropriate to feature in advertising and marketing materials. The logo did however remain unaltered in-game.

This is the only Battle Network game that still has cursing in its localized translations. This includes words like damn, hell, and crap. There is also a scene early on in the game where Yai shamelessly remarks about Lan seeing her naked. Interestingly, the ESRB still gave the game an "E for everyone" rating, and they didn't even give it a "Mild Language" descriptor; it just has "Comic Mischief".

Attachment Early screenshots showed that when you captured an enemy and "tortured" them, they appear strapped to a medieval torture device known as a wooden horse. This device was almost exclusively used against women, and forced the victim to sit on a pointed wooden structure with their entire body weight, putting their full weight onto their vulva. This was later changed into a cat. This was likely done to lower the CERO (the Japanese version of the ESRB) rating of the game.

In the European release, many of the cutscenes which contained blood were either blacked out or made to look like the wound was dirty instead of bloody. However, the scene of Captain Ginyu pushing his hand into his chest was not censored, most likely due to his blood being purple.
