In the Battle Mansion, the player can fight against a Beauty trainer. After beating her in the English version, her response is "Yes, a mere half year ago I was a Black Belt! Quite the transformation, wouldn't you say?". In the Japanese version, her response is translated as "I was a Karate King a half year ago: the power of medical science is awesome wouldn't you say?!".

Whilst differently portrayed, both versions hint that the Beauty trainer is transgender (black belt is a male-specific trainer class; same for Karate King in Japanese).

Attachment Like the first Battle Network, this game also has very different title screens between the Japanese and international versions. Likewise, the Capcom USA copyright was removed in the European edition as it was published by Ubisoft.

Interestingly, unlike the rest of the series the ROM used for the European Wii U eShop is the US edition, so the Capcom USA copyright is present on that version.

Early US copies had a few glitches that were fixed in later copies:

• When using the data transfer function, the game freezes if there are any Easy mode saves from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.
• In the glossary, viewing Muarim's description lists Mist's description instead.

When Gold Li'l-Oinks leave the farm in the Japanese game, they drop Jelly Shrooms (restores 5 HP and 50 FP). In the U.S. version, Gold Li'l-Oinks drop Ultra Shrooms (restores 50 HP). This gives you a way to collect an unlimited amount of Ultra Shrooms, whereas you can only find five Ultra Shrooms total in the Japanese version.

The Japanese version of God of War III censored some of the game's more explicit violence and nudity:

• Poseidon's Princess, Aphrodite, and her handmaidens had their breasts covered up.
• The graphic wounds that Kratos gives to Hercules' face were removed during his death scene.
• When Kratos chops off Hermes' legs, his protruding bones were removed during his death scene.
• The scene where Kratos removes Helios' head with his bare hands takes place off-screen.

The game went through massive changes when it was ported from Japan to the US. The Japanese version only has Easy and Difficult difficulty settings. The International versions removed these in favor of Normal and Hard, with Normal as a re-balanced version of the original Difficult. The international versions also add a health meter for the bosses, language selection, a couple new enemies, adjusts some of the level layouts, and fixes some of the slowdown.

The Adventures of Bayou Billy is much harder than Mad City, the Japanese version of the game:

• Enemies in the beat-em-up stages move faster, deal twice as much damage, and take twice as many hits to kill.
• The optional alligator fights in the first few levels of Mad City are mandatory in Bayou Billy.
• The amount of ammo available at the beginning of the shooting stages is cut down from 150 to 50.
• There is less fuel for the car in the driving stages.

In the Japanese version, a button with an image of a whip can be used in the final turn to speed up the horse. In the US version, the image of the whip was replaced with a green "Go!" button. This was likely changed to avoid complaints over animal abuse.
