List of Famicom/NES game differences

[Ghegs]

*Ninja gaiden 3

-FAMICOM VERSION: its called ninja ryukenden 3, and features a password system
-NES VERSION: no password

Famicom version also has unlimited continues and is easier. The player takes double the damage from anything in the NES version.

*Double dragon 3

-FAMICOM VERSION: level skipping cheat (press a + b + select+ start)
-NES: no level skipping cheat

Double Dragon 3 also gives you a little more health, slightly more weapons, & Hiruko appears at the end of Mission 2 - which I always wanted to know, what does she say?

Famicom Punch-Out (Gold) without Tyson:
1. Has different Title Bout music
2. "Dance like a fly, bite like a mosquito!" instead of "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!"
(although I haven't played the US version in awhile, maybe the first quote is on both)

In the European version of Over Horizon, the title lacks the "HOT-B" logo, and the music has a slightly lower pitch. It's really minor, but I just noticed it today when I was playing.
(Over Horizon wasn't released in the US, only Japan and Europe)

Super Mario Bros. 3 --  FC: When you lose a costume, you kind of poop it out.

How so    


Also... lol

Donald Duck --
FC: the characters are from Warner Bros.
NES: called Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular; the characters are from Peanuts.

Donald Duck is a Disney character...

[JC]

Good point. I wonder why we put Warner Bros. instead of Disney.

And, officially anyway, SMB is on a cart, not a disk.  But there is still a different minus world on the cart.

[JC]

I think you've got that wrong. There's an official SMB on disk and it's got a different minus world.

[nintendodork]

I didn't know about the disk SMB I guess.  But I know for a fact that the cart also has the alternate Minus World

But I know for a fact that the cart also has the alternate Minus World

Really? How come?
I've always thought that the reason why the FDS version of SMB has an alternate minus world is because of the different memory address space of the FDS RAM adapter vs a simple NROM cartridge.

[nintendodork]

I've played a japanese SMB ROM

Sorry, nintendodork, but I think you're mistaken.

This has peeked my interest....

I'm pretty sure I'm wrong now...but now I want my SMB cart to come faster so I can get to the bottom of this...

Even though I'm wrong....
