1943 Kai: The Battle of Midway
This updated version was released exactly one year after the original game's debut. 1943 Kai is an enhanced, "wild" version of 1943 that was made only available in Japan under the name 1943 Kai: Midway Kaisen (or 1943改: ミッドウェイ海戦). Most of the graphics and sounds have been reworked, the weapons have been made more extreme and some fairly strange things (laser-firing WWII planes and ships that run on ground) have been added. The trademark P-38 has been replaced with a biplane Boeing Stearman E75 N68828.
This version was ported by Naxat on the PC Engine as 1943 Kai. It was not available on the US TurboGrafx-16. The PC Engine port contains many additional levels and original music.
The history of this game in PC Engine is same as the NES version, but the biplane is equipped differently and there are new exclusive enemies and bosses. Though it was never released in the US as an arcade game, it was included in the Capcom Classics Collection for PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2005.
