Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
1
Attachment In the UK and Australia, the game is changed to add the "Bros." at the end of the title.

While no official reason was given, the trademark for the name "Dream Team" was filed in the UK in 2010, and was still valid until the games release. It's possible Nintendo added the "Bros." at the end to avoid any legal issues with the trademark.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
1
Attachment Like Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Paper Jam also had "Bros." added to its name in the UK release, again with no official reason given.

However, given that there are already two trademarks for "PaperJam" as well as a brand of toys that were sold in the UK under the name "Paper Jamz", it is more than likely Nintendo repeated the easier road by adding "Bros."
Tekken 4

The character intro prologues have some slight differences between regions. For example, Bryan Fury's prologue in Japanese states that "Brian came to the realization that his life was quickly coming to an end", while the international release states that "Brian realized that the end of his life was near". Another example is in Paul's prologue, which says that his friends and admirers slowly dissapeared. This is not mentioned in the International version of that character's prologue.

The narrator of these stories also differs between regions. In the Japanese version the narration is done by the game's announcer, Antonio Ploszay. Meanwhile in the international release they are done by an unknown voice actor.
Tekken 4

Marduk and Steve Fox have different English voices depending on the region.
Frogger: The Great Quest
1
In 2020, an unused level was discovered in the PC version of the game called Ruins of Joy Town that was meant to be played after The Goblin Fort level, but before Joy Castle. The unused level appears to be mostly completed, but lacks background music.
Super Mario 64
1
Attachment In the European version, the demo clip depicting Mario collecting a ring of coins in Whomp's Fortress sees him grab one less coin than in all other versions of the game, resulting in two coins being left on-screen instead of just one. Oddly, this is the only change made to the game's demo videos between regions.
WWE 2K20
1
The WWE 2K20 SmackDown! 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition would normally come with a "Legend Autographed Plaque" of either Edge, Kurt Angle, or Rey Mysterio. However, many fans would receive a plaque without a autograph. While 2K had remained silent about the issue for days, Adam Copeland (Edge) would respond via Twitter about the issue telling fans they could mail their plaque's to his P.O. box, and he would sign each of them after returning from his movie shoot.
LEGO Batman: The Videogame

1
Due to the Instruction manual mentioning a "young Tim", and the DS version having a Tim Drake character, the primary Robin in this game is most likely Tim Drake.
Kingdom Hearts III
1
The unique style of ending for the Spoiler:Yozora secret boss battle at the end of the ReMind DLC, where players obtain a different ending depending on if they win or lose the boss battle, was because Tetsuya Nomura and his team thought the fight was too extremely difficult and so wanted to give something to players that lost even if it did nothing for the series' canon.
Gunstar Heroes
1
Attachment In the Game Gear version, during the fifth stage where Gunstar Yellow gets kidnapped, a billboard can be found advertising "Super C Spirits", appearing to be a reference to Super C.
Tornado Outbreak
1
The sunlight in the Xbox 360 port of the game uses an animated shader that creates a mirage effect.
Deltarune
1
In the original release of Chapter 2, Spoiler:the "WRECK", "PAUSE", and "SPEW" VCR icons that appear during Spamton NEO's ultimate attack only showed up during the hidden Weird Route, and thus were absent from his fight during the normal route. While this difference was initially interpreted by fans as an intentional artistic decision, in actuality it was the result of an oversight: Spoiler:the icons were coded to appear at certain coordinates relative to the room where Spamton NEO is encountered. Because the fight on the normal route moved Spamton NEO and the player far out of range, the icons were consequently left offscreen.

This error was eventually fixed in the v1.08 patch, with Spoiler:the icons appearing in the proper location on both routes instead of just one. The patch additionally adds a new smoke effect after Spoiler:Spamton NEO's ultimate attack ends on both routes.
Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II
1
The artwork for the loser portraits feature dialogue boxes and Japanese onomatopeia in the Japanese version of the game. These were removed in the international release.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
1
The game is known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Warriors in Japan.
Pokémon Platinum Version
1
In Platinum and HeartGold & SoulSilver, Bidoof's gender difference has more to it than in any other game. In Diamond & Pearl and every future game after HG/SS, Bidoof's gender difference is that the male has an additional 2 curls on the tail. However in these 3 games, Bidoof's patch of white around the face has a more pronounced bump in between the eyes on the male, with a more flattened bump on the female. Whether this is intentional or not is unknown, but due to the fact it was fixed later in Generation V, it's safe to assume this was a mistake.
Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon
1
It is possible to unlock an alternate ending sequence featuring Yogurt. The requirements to unlock this ending are unknown, but an unsubstantiated claim on a fan forum suggests it could be tied to unlocking the alternate bikini outfits which are only in the Japanese version of the game.
Need for Speed: High Stakes
1
The American version subtitle name for the game is “High Stakes.” According to the “Designer Diaries,” developers chose this name because previous installments lacked the “sense of risk and consequences.” “High Stakes” is also the name of the mode, where a player could lose a saved car during a race, and have to spend money to upgrade it.
Tornado Outbreak
1
Attachment The Wii version of the game doesn't support widescreen. As a result, when the aspect ratio is set to widescreen, it will result in the display being stretched out.

Final Fantasy VII
subdirectory_arrow_right Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (Game)
1
Attachment In the very first Japanese release of the game, at the bottom of the well in Corel Prison, a rare debug enemy known as "Test 0" that was accidentally left in the game on its initial release can be randomly encountered. This encounter does not require cheats or hacks to occur, although GameShark codes can be used to access every other debug enemy battle in the game. This battle was removed from all future releases of the game. "The Completely Unauthorized Final Fantasy VII Ultimate Guide" by Versus Books, released in 1997, features an entry on this enemy (note that the HP listing in the guide scan is incorrect; Test 0 has 30000 HP).

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth nods back to this oversight by making Test 0 a legitimate optional encounter in the Beast Battleground. The nature of its presence in the original game is referenced in the enemy's bestiary entry, which describes it as "A test subject that managed to escape Shinra's R&D Division due to a developer's oversight."
