James Bond 007: Tomorrow Never Dies (1999)

The Japanese version has some differences compared to the European and US versions:
• Because of the remapped buttons for confirm and back, it is not possible to input cheat codes during gameplay. Main menu codes can be activated by skillful button pressing using the music player in the options menu.
• Text boxes that appear during gameplay have white text instead of yellow.
• The Japanese version supports only one Memory Card slot.
• When prompted to start a new game, Japanese version has Circle to accept and X to cancel. Other versions have Square for accept and Triangle for cancel.
• The Japanese version doesn't show D-pad functions in the pause menu control screen.
• Music & SFX tests are together and vibration toggle is added to main menu options.

Dog's Life (2003)

▲

▼

At the end of the game, Spoiler:the villain Ms. Peaches is fed into a cat food machine followed by cans of cat food falling off a conveyor belt. In the Japanese version, the scene showing her being fed into the machine is completely blacked out and replaced with sounds of Ms. Peaches struggling. Some of the sprites have also been changed in the ending as well. However, the Japanese version added a gun-cocking sound which the American version did not have.

One Piece: Round the Land! (2005)

▲

▼

During the intro cutscene, the theme from the fourth opening of the One Piece anime ("Bon-Bon Blanco - Bon Voyage") with its lyrics is used the Japanese version, but is replaced with a made-up instrumental version in the European version. The ocean ripples shown on the "One Piece: Round the Land" titlecard are also slightly different in comparison.

Additionally, the part where Luffy and his friends are running towards the screen together is a reference to the fourth opening of the One Piece anime, where Luffy and his friends are walking towards the screen together.

NHL 2004 (2003)

▲

▼

During NHL 2004's development and release, EA had to make two different cover athlete changes. Boston Bruin's captain Joe Thornton was the original planned cover athlete until Thornton was brought up on assault charges. EA replaced Thornton with Atlanta Thrashers player Dany Heatley when the game was first shipped out. However, Heatley was later involved in a car crash that killed his teammate Dan Snyder. After this, EA once again changed the cover athlete to Colorado Avalanche captain Joe Sakic. Existing copies of the game remained on store shelves, though further productions and advertising for the game were switched to Sakic.

Resident Evil (1996)

▲

▼

The international version of this game is more difficult than the original Japanese version. Some of the changes include having the auto-aiming function disabled and reducing the number of saves per ink ribbon from 6 to 3.

The change in difficulty was apparently done to give players less of a chance at beating the game on rental, so they'd have to buy it for themselves instead. Since renting video games in Japan is illegal, there was no need for the developers to increase the difficulty in the original Japanese version.

Castlevania: Dracula X (1995)

▲

▼

The Japanese version of the game is called "悪魔城ドラキュラＸＸ Akumajō Dorakyura Daburu Ekkusu" - which in English literally translates to "Devil's Castle Dracula Double X". The American version, however, is simply called "Castlevania: Dracula X". Likewise, the Australian & European versions were renamed to "Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss".

There are also several differences between the titles screens of the three games. The Australian/European version does not have blood on its title screen. The Japanese version also uses two religious crosses in its "Double X" title, rather than a single red X used by the American version. The "PASS WORD" option is also spelled incorrectly in the Japanese version, but was later corrected as "PASSWORD" in the International version.

In the Australian/European & Japanese versions, the boomerang cross weapon looks like a religious cross, but was replaced with a regular X-shaped cross in the International version. This was likely done to avoid any religious complaints.
