1943 Kai: Midway Kaisen is the Japanese version of the sequel Capcom released in 1987 to continue 1943: The Battle of Midway. It keeps the vertical war-shooter formula — fighter plane, power-ups, waves of enemy aircraft — with difficulty and content tweaks aimed at the local audience, different from the western edition. Today it's appreciated as a piece of Capcom's transition between the classic 80s shooter and the more elaborate design that would come later. For anyone who enjoyed the original 1943, this version offers a twist with nuances that only stand out when comparing both editions side by side.
