Bushido Blade
1
Attachment The Japanese release features censored blood effects, being yellow instead of red as seen in all other versions.
Kirby: Squeak Squad
1
Attachment In the original Japanese version of Kirby: Squeak Squad, Spinni is referred to as female, but no mention of her gender is made in the game's English version, possibly to avoid any controversy with gender issues. However, the American version of Kirby Mass Attack refers to Spinni as male.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
1
In the Japanese release, after Death takes Alucard's equipment away from him at the start of the game, Alucard makes an exclamation of dismay. This was removed from the English translation and changed into the exclamation of "What!?" that was used instead, as the team felt his dismay sounded "lame".

The scene was intended to make Alucard appear to have slipped up by becoming familiar with Death, and come across as his acknowledgement of his mistake, rather than appearing weak and whiny as it did during translation.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
1
During the game's prologue, in which text scrolls up the screen explaining the story leading up to the events in Symphony of the Night, narration was recorded to be played over the top of the text in the English release just as there is in the Japanese release. This was removed prior to release, as Konami's PR team felt the recording was bad, and detracted from the scene.
Suikoden
1
Attachment Towards the start of the game is a scene in which the player must rescue Varkas and Sydonia while they are tied to posts, originally, in the Japanese release, the two are instead tied up to 2 crosses, resembling a process called crucifixion.
Streets of Rage 2
1
Attachment In the US version, Blaze's flying kick pose was altered to censor her underwear.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
1
The European release's music in the Sword Dojo is a bit different from the Japanese and US releases. The reason for this change is unknown.
The Simpsons: Road Rage
1
On the Game Boy Advance, the European version has an intro, while the US version just skips to the title screen.
Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble
1
All of the minigames had their names changed in the English release. They include:
•Kirby's Balloon was changed to Kirby's Burst-A-Balloon
•Dance The Kirby was changed to Do the Kirby
•Kirby's FuriFuri Chicken Race was changed to Kirby's Chicken Race
•Kirby's Multi Ball was changed to Kirby's Roll-O-Rama. Also, the Kirby on the bottom right was moved slightly and the Blue Kirby's shadow was extended a little
Blaster Master
1
Attachment At the end of the section 4 area in the Japanese version, the player has to jump from the high ledge and then land safely on a short ladder at the bottom. Due to the intense difficulty of doing this (pointed out by complaints from the U.S. Staff of the game) the English release adds extra platforms and ladders so the player can get down safely.
Street Fighter III 2nd Impact: Giant Attack
1
Attachment In the Japanese version of Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, "Akuma's" blood is red in his defeated portrait, but in the International version, they colored it in green.
Tekken 3
1
Attachment Anna Williams' ending shows her and her sister Nina on the beach sunbathing, when 3 men try to impress them. In the Japanese release, Nina gets jealous of Anna as she revels in the attention, so she unclips Anna's bikini top and walks away with a smile. In the international release, this scene was changed to have Anna simply walk away with the men while Nina is left on her own sunbathing, due to the original scene being considered inappropriate.

Similar scenes of nudity in the series include Tekken 2, where Anna's ending features a scene of her covering her breast while taking a shower, and in Tekken 5, where Anna's ending had Nina's body armor become dismantled, exposing her body.

In the Japanese Arcade version of the game, Evil Ryu has a unique ending. This ending is not present in the English arcade release or console ports of the game, instead Evil Ryu and regular Ryu share the same ending.
Collection: Dark Seed
1
Both Dark Seed games received ports on the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation in Japan. The English voice acting is kept for the first game as only the text is translated. For the second game, Mike Dawson is dubbed in Japanese while the other characters are not voiced.
Strider
1
Attachment Strider Hiryu will exclaim an audible "Hah!" every time he swings his cypher in the Japanese release. This was removed from the international release.
Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart
1
In Japan, the game is titled Planet Destroyer Black Heart.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
1
Attachment A number of changes to the save system were introduced in Majora's Mask 3D:
• Owl statues now save permanently and no longer end the game when used.
• Playing the Song of Time no longer saves the game.
• Like the original Japanese version, the game now has three save slots (up from the two in the US version - a result of adding owl saving which wasn't present in the Japanese release).
• Additional non-owl save statues were added to the game. These statues can be used to save but not for fast travel.
