| Nothing too exciting but I found this unused string of text in the Japanese version of the first Zelda game. Original and final game:  Unused text:  I just replaced the English string in order to get it displayed. I don't know Japanese at all but if I would make a guess it probably says basically the same thing which is seen on the sign Link is holding, "Please see the manual for more details." Am I right? If so I guess they simply replaced it with Link holding the sign graphic instead. The string of text appear right after the English Triforce in the intro. It's there in both versions of the FDS game and still there in the Famicom re-release on cartridge. Maybe someone with more know how than me can figure out its intended original placement on the screen and add it to the wiki if it is of any interest. |

I took a quick look at the graphics in Red Arremer - Makaimura Gaiden for the Game Boy, known in the west as Gargoyle's Quest. And unsurprisingly discovered that a Star of David was turned into a bat symbol in the International release. But, also a bunch of unused stuff such as treasure chests, swords and what appear to be a hand cursor left in the Japanese ROM. As there not yet exist a page on the wiki for this game, I thought I would post my findings and ask if anyone have any thoughts on what they could have been intended for or if anyone recognize them from another early Capcom GB title? |

| The NES version was a terrible port not developed by Capcom but by Micronics. Prenz, have you compared the NES version with the Famicom version. I know it lack continues but it's possible they did more tweaks to the NES version other than add continues and changing the cross to a shield? |

Originally posted by PrenzIt happened yes, most likely due to the rental market. When it comes to Contra, the Famicom version is actually a bit harder than the NES versions. The game starts off at a higher difficulty, the starting loop is the same as the second loop in the NES versions. There's also a few enemy placement differences in 2-player mode in some stages along with other subtle gameplay tweaks. But I guess you could say that the NES versions are harder in a way, as they dummied out the cheat code for the level select. Anyway, might check out the Famicom version of Makaimura myself, and see if there's any differences. Stuff like this interest me.

Originally posted by KingMike Oh, nice. Didn't know you had to enter a code. Makai-Mura AC - (Arcade Conversion) seems to be a very impressive hack. Apparently, it fixes some of the issues the FC/NES port had, and make it closer, at least visually, to the original arcade game (except for the title screen logo). |
