Attachment When completing Normal Mode in the Japanese version, the player is given different ending images. These images (with the exception of the last) feature Samus without her suit and show her Chozo upbringing and parent's death. The artwork heavily adheres to the events depicted in the Metroid Manga, written by Kouji Tazawa and advised by Metroid director Yoshio Sakamoto.

Attachment In the original versions, the babes kidnapped by the aliens were woven into cocoons and tied up on pillars. Pressing the action button in front of them will make them moan "Kill me...", which is a reference to a similar scene in the Alien franchise. In the Nintendo 64 version, the babes were covered up more (as they were either naked or only had underwear on), and could not be killed (which is how you "saved" them before). The action button now makes the disappear and the message "Babe saved!" is shown.

Attachment The "Design Magazine" given to Servbot #40 was originally an "Adult Magazine" in the Japanese version. After giving him the magazine, he can be found in Tron's bed having fun and commenting on how bland he thinks the Gesellschaft's colors are, however in the Japanese release his dialogue suggests that he is a pervert that's sniffing Tron's odor in her bed. The magazine's sprite however remains the same in both versions. #40 would also originally give you the Beauty Book but this was taken out of the Western release as it was related to the PocketStation peripheral.

Because of its relation to the real historic event, the weapon was renamed to the Nuka Launcher in the Japanese version of Fallout 3. It is, however, still referred to as the Fat Man in dialogue.
