Meglio aspettare...:

The Simpson Arcade

There is an unused set of animations of the zombie enemy taking off its head and using it as a weapon. This may have been considered too graphic at the time of development, as the game's content was primarily based on the first season of The Simpsons. The show did not prominently feature graphic violence until the second season with its slate of Itchy & Scratchy segments, some of which featured Scratchy being decapitated.

Termini diversi

To make Zoids fuse, pilots shout a command. In the American version, it's "FUZORS, COMBINE!" In the Japanese version, it's "ZI-UNIZON!"
