In the Japanese version, beating the game yields a character ending, followed by a short epilogue with the player character's portrait scrolling in the background, and finally the ending credits. In all other versions, the epilogue was cut, leaving only the scrolling picture.

Attachment Due to various programming bugs in the NES version, such as the game trying to read the ending text from the wrong CHR-ROM page, the Japanese version of the game doesn't show the ending screen and credits at the end of the game.

Instead, it only shows a black screen, followed by the text "りり" (riri) scrolling onto it.

There is evidence in the code of the arcade version that the two boss characters, Huitzil and Pyron, may have been planned as playable at one stage of development. There is an alternate color scheme for both of the characters that shows up if you are playing a mirror match, both characters are able to be played in Arcade mode though hacking (though Pyron can't fight the final boss due to a bug), both of the characters have their own endings, which are the exact same as their endings in the sequel, "Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge", though in a more unfinished state with the ending text just repeating "A" and the music not playing like it should.

Before the final battle, Spoiler:Pokey's second-to-last line reads, "Master Giygas - No, Giygas is no longer the wielder of Evil." In the original Japanese version, Pokey consistently referred to Giygas as "Master Giygas" until this point, where he discards the title as a sign of disrespect.

This line was carried over from the Japanese version, but Pokey usually just calls him "Giygas" throughout the English version, and so the context was lost.

Attachment Despite the name, Die Hard Arcade has nothing to do with the movie franchise and was only branded as such by Fox Interactive who published it outside of Japan. The original game is called Dynamite Deka and the main character was called Bruno Delinger instead of John McClane. The Die Hard branding was not carried over to the sequel when it was released outside of Japan.

Attachment On the European version of the box art, there are a number of characters that are introduced in the Buu Saga (Spopovich, Majin Vegeta, Babidi, Majin Buu and Dabura)that do not appear in the game, as the game only covers story from the Saiyan Saga up to Cell's defeat in the Cell Games Saga. This was mostly corrected for the Platinum re-release of the game, though Spopovich is still present.

Franchise: Pokémon

Charmander is only able to learn Metal Claw by leveling up in FireRed and LeafGreen, at level 13. In later generations, the move is only available to the Charmander line through breeding. It's likely that Charmander was given this move to ameliorate the comparative early disadvantage of picking the fire-type starter in Red and Green, when faced with the Pewter Gym and Mt. Moon, which contain many Pokémon strong against fire-type Pokémon.

Attachment When selecting the Famicom and NES color schemes for R.O.B., the stickers on their base change to reflect their real-life counterparts. The decal for the Japanese Famicom R.O.B. reads "Family Computer Robot", while the decal for the North American NES R.O.B. reads "Robotic Operating Buddy".

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, these regional color schemes based on R.O.B.'s original models for the Famicom and NES are made his default palette depending on if you are playing the Japanese or International versions of the games respectively.

In the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure, you can explore under the deep water in the Egg Carrier Chao Garden. Under the water lies a secret ring far out of reach. This was removed in the DX update, because the depth of the water was reduced, probably to prevent Chao from swimming out of reach and getting stuck in the terrain.
