Anybody know any games that happen to be easier when they were released in other regions? I've been trying to fill out my collection a little bit.

I know there's a ton of these that everybody knows, like Battletoads, or Contra: Hard Corps and all that, so if there's any you know of you don't think are obvious, let me know!

So far, I'm thinking of these when it comes to what I'm looking for for 'less obvious'.

An accidental case - the Genesis version of Shadow of the Beast wasn't optimised properly for NTSC so it runs too fast (the opposite problem to normal) and makes the game harder. It was apparently fixed for the later Japanese release which also had a few deliberate tweaks to make the game easier than the original versions.
