Censure:

Bionic Commando

In Japan, the game was titled "Hitler no Fukkatsu: Top Secret" which translates to "The Resurrection of Hitler: Top Secret". The western release was drastically altered to not feature any mention of Nazism with the enemy changed to the "Badds". The leader of the enemy's name was changed from Weizmann to Killt and the final boss who was Hitler revived was named Master-D, however his appearance still remains the same.

Molti anni dopo esce il film ispirato al vg

Nel 2017 è uscito il film It Came from the Desert, di coproduzione finlandese-britannica-canadese, dichiaratamente ispirato al videogioco, sebbene con una trama differente. Durante i titoli di coda vengono mostrate scene del videogioco.

Official Bio

The Japanese manual for Star Parodier, an official parody of Hudson Soft's Star Soldier series, lists Bomberman's birthday as being on December 20, 1985. This seems to be based on the release date for the Famicom version of Bomberman rather than the 1983 original, likely because the Famicom game is where Bomberman was given his defining character design.

Rimosso per direttissima

During development of QuackShot, a level was implemented where Donald Duck could club baby seals as enemies. This horrified producers from the Disney side of development, who demanded Sega remove the stage from the final game.

Diversi problemi interni:

Koudelka

This game was plagued by internal conflict within the development team. Hiroki Kikuta wanted to take the RPG genre into a new direction while the others wanted to do something more close to what Squaresoft (now Square Enix) was doing at the time. Kikuta wanted the game to be action orientated, citing Resident Evil as inspiration.
Kikuta departed Sacnoth after the game was released and Sacnoth changed their name to Nautilus. This game is considered the source material for the series Shadow Hearts, as the games take place in the Koudelka universe.

Taro decision
