An already bizarre line is made all the stranger when you realize that character offers the player a вЂњpuff puffвЂќ in the original version of the game. See, in Dragon Warrior, you encounter a character who tells the player they have no tomatoes to sell them today. While later Dragon Quest games (especially Dragon Quest 3) were heavily censored in the West due largely to religious references, the original Dragon Quest (or Dragon Warrior, as it was known in the West) features an incredibly bizarre instance of censorship that has long confused players. The NES and Famicom version both use the Book of Magic name, though the latterвЂ™s Japanese characters still spell out вЂњBible.вЂќ 8. WhatвЂ™s really odd about this change is that the вЂњBibleвЂќ reference only appears in the Famicom disc version of the game. In the Famicom Disc version of The Legend of Zelda, you could use an item simply referred to as a вЂњBible.вЂќ The name of this item was later changed to Book of Magic in order to remove a pretty obvious religious reference. That premise was obviously considerably more awkward in Japan, although itвЂ™s not clear why The Battle of Valhalla was chosen as the replacement name. After all, the game sees you play as an American pilot tasked with shooting down Japanese aircrafts on his way to sink the Yamato battleship. The reason for this change is probably pretty obvious to history buffs and anyone familiar with 1943вЂ™s premise. In-game, the title is often shortened to 1943 (in both regions). In a comparatively rare instance of an NES game that was censored in Japan but not America (or at least changed due to regional differences), 1943: The Battle of MidwayвЂ™s name was changed to 1943: The Battle of Valhalla in Japan. ItвЂ™s not entirely clear if the change was the result of вЂњcensorship,вЂќ though that move does track with some of NintendoвЂ™s other censorship decisions at the time.

version, you can only access the happy ending where the two get together. The original version of the gameвЂ™s ending let you walk away from Annabelle and trigger a darkly hilarious sequence where Annabelle stands there confused and alone. version of the game, and additional scenes of violence (including an alternate game over screen that showed Billy reaching out to the player as he is dying) were removed. For instance, BillyвЂ™s girlfriend Annabelle wears more clothes in the U.S. Some of the ways that The Adventures of Bayou Billy was censored make sense given the standards of the time. Ice ClimberДЄ lot of NES games were censored due to sex, drugs, and all the other things the parents in Footloose were worried about, but the reason for Ice ClimberвЂ™s censorship is as unique as it is bizarre. The character was renamed Soda Popinski in the NES version of the game and was often shown drinking generic soda pop rather than alcohol (even if he still makes the occasional alcoholic reference). ItвЂ™s not entirely clear if Nintendo had a problem with the characterвЂ™s stereotypical elements, but they certainly had a problem with his substance abuse.

As you probably guessed based on the name, Drunkenski was a Russian stereotype who drank heavily during fights. The arcade version of the game featured a character named Vodka Drunkenski.

Dream, but what you may not know is that the NES version of the game significantly altered another one of the original versionвЂ™s most notable fighters.

You probably know that Mike Tyson was eventually removed from Punch-Out! and replaced with Mr.
