One Piece: Grand Adventure is a sequel to One Piece: Grand Battle Rush! developed specifically for American audiences, and is not available in Japan. It includes content that was cut out of the American release of One Piece: Grand Battle Rush!, which removed characters, stages, and music, most likely because the televised airings of the anime in the US had not revealed certain characters yet.

Doom
Doom (1993)

Attachment In versions of Doom prior to 1.4, a room in the level "E1M4: Command Control" features a sector shaped like a swastika. According to John Romero, this is a reference to Wolfenstein 3D, an FPS previously developed by id where the protagonist fights Nazis.

"Yes, [in Commander Keen 5] there is a swastika in one of the levels, one of my levels to be exact, but I removed it shortly after the game was released because people were upset that an evil symbol was in a cute kid's game. It was a premonition of things to come, namely, Wolfenstein 3D. I also put a swastika in Doom's E1M4 as a Wolf3D reference, but I changed it later for the exact same reason."

There is a glitch which occurs in the Western release where a random eye will appear on a persona's status screen. It was long speculated to have some hidden meaning, but it does not occur in other versions, including the PS Vita re-release, and has been stated to just be a bug by an unnamed source with special knowledge of the game's development.

This edition was published by Banpresto and featured updated character portraits and the character's names changed to their original Japanese names, though Mr. Satan is still referred to his English name "Hercule" on a parade float.

Nearly all of the items that could invoke magic spells were made inaccessible in the western release titled Final Fantasy II, as well as the subsequent Japan-only Easy Type release. Still retained were the FireBomb/Red Fang and the Lit-Bolt/Blue Fang, which are shown in the opening demonstration battles. The Lit-Bolt/Blue Fang item cannot be found in the game itself, however. Additionally, all of the items intended to cure a single status effect were also been made inaccessible, replaced by the Heal/Heal-All Potion, which was made cheaper in stores. Many treasure chests, shop inventories, and monster drops were modified to remove these dummied items.
