1943: The Battle of Midway / The Battle of Valhalla (Famicom) (6.20.88)
The sequel to Capcom's 1942 had a fascinating development history, as certain Japanese political groups objected to the game's sensitive subject matter, which was released just slightly over four decades after the conclusion of World War II. For the Japanese Famicom release, Midway was changed to Valhalla (From Norse mythology) and the game's final boss, the Yamato (A WWII Japanese battleship) was renamed Toutaku, among many other edits.
