Attachment The Japanese version of the game had some content that was cut when it was released overseas. In Warlock Zone III, there was a show consisting of Ebisumaru (Dr. Yang) dancing around and farting at the end. And in Warlock Zone VI, there was a Geisha Strip Club with an accessible strip show, although there is no explicit nudity.

In the Japanese release of Phantasy Star II, the piano teacher, Ustvestia, is openly homosexual. When a male party member volunteers to be taught the Musik technique by Ustvestia, Ustvestia replies, "He looks cute." Ustvestia then proceeds to charge the male party member less for the lesson than he would charge a female party member.

However, in the English release of Phantasy Star II, Ustvestia simply says, "He looks smart." The gender-based disparity in the fee for learning Musik is left unexplained.

There are a few glitches that were fixed when the game was localized overseas, mostly involving pressing opposite directions simultaneously.
•When using Jet Kirby and doing a semi-charged or fully-charged boost in midair, pressing up and down while flying sends Kirby flying diagonally. If Kirby bumps into a wall after a semi-charged boost while holding up and down, Kirby will bounce upwards very fast.
•When using Fire Kirby while doing a running boost in midair, pressing up and down will cause Kirby to shoot down very fast, passing through floors.
•When using Plasma Kirby while holding left and right and pressing up will charge Kirby's plasma beam to the maximum immediately, allowing you to fire fully-charged shots right away.
•When using Yo-Yo Kirby, pressing up, down and Y in midair will cause Kirby to disappear from the screen. If this is done with a helper, the game will act as if the helper doesn't exist.
•Pressing up and down on a ladder causes the game to crash, or could possibly send you to the credits of Milky Way Wishes.

Attachment The Octobrush is known in Japan as the Hokusai, referencing artist Katsushika Hokusai. The design is also based on traditional Japanese brushes. Interestingly, one of Hokusai's paintings was "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife", depicting a woman having sexual intercourse with two octopuses, tying into the English name.

Attachment In the Japanese version a room near the end of Wily stage 1 has a different layout. The international layout removes the platform in the middle of the screen and moves the weapon capsules to a lower platform on the far right, probably to make them easier to get to. This also forces the player to switch weapons mid-air if they don't want to refill Rush Coil or Rush Jet.

In the Japanese version of Tomodachi Life, the Age-o-matic item worked differently, as it only temporarily turned a child Mii into an adult Mii. It is only permanent when used on child couples or mixed adult and child couples who want to marry, and the effect gets immediately cancelled when they divorce.

In the International versions of the game, this was changed so that the effect becomes permanent when used. Because of this, the Kid-o-matic item was created exclusively for the international versions as a way to reverse the effects of the Age-o-matic. (and allowing adult Miis to become children)

The original name for the series in Japan is Ninja Ryukenden (translated as "Legend of the Ninja Dragon Sword"). When translating the game for an English audience, the team had a hard time finding a way to translate the title. In the end, they decided to rename it Ninja Gaiden "because it sounded cool."
