Line 236:
* The [[Turbo Grafx 16]] version of ''Impossamole''.
* A number of changes were made to the [[GoldenEye 007 (2010 video game)|Wii remake]] of ''[[GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)|Golden Eye 1997]]'' plot to fit with the change in timeline to 2010. Most notably, 006's motivations are changed from getting revenge for Britain's betrayal of his Lienz Cossack parents (which would make him 71 in 2010) to anger over the War on Terror and the Great Financial Meltdown, and how big banks made a killing while everyone else suffered.
** {{spoiler|Zukovsky is killed a couple dozen seconds after you meet him. After all, he does die in the films eventually, and it's not like they're planning on making a ''[[
* ''[[Ys]] IV: The Dawn of Ys'' for the PC-Engine, released a month after ''Ys IV: Mask of the Sun'' for the Super Famicom, was produced by a different developer ([[Hudson Soft]]), had a significantly different story and gameplay, and is not part of Falcom's canon, but is [[Adaptation Distillation|generally regarded as the superior game]].
* Most ''[[Sam and Max]]'' media, while most of the media is a bit [[Lighter and Softer]] than the original comics (well, until ''The Devil's Playhouse'', of course), they've more or less had some pretty good games for quite a while now, demonstrating the dark comedy and wit that the series is known for.
Line 253:
*** This change was commented on in [[Turtles Forever]], where the 80s turtles are surprised that the 2003 turtles see Splinter as a father figure. As noted on the [[Adaptation Distillation]] page, whether or not the change is an improvement or not is up to the viewer's interpretation.
* The second animated adaptation of Herge's ''[[Tintin]]'' comic book series often streamlines the original narrative to make the story of each comic book fit into two half-hour episodes by cutting out subplots that don't affect the main plot overall, but otherwise faithfully follows Herge's original plotlines.
* [http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/episode36.html Frank Maggiore] commented on a change made to a ''[[Winx Club]]'' episode; in the dub, Sky went from being killed (it's [[Never Say "Die"|never explicitly said as such]], but Flora mentions his lack of pulse at one point) to being [[Never Say "Die"|put into a deep sleep]] (by having the Trix, who "killed" Sky, explicitly mention this a few times). It seemed to him that it made a lot more sense when Bloom revived Sky; this changed a never-before-seen magical [[Back From the Dead]] ability to a ''Sleeping Beauty''-style awakening that seemed more [[Magic
** That said, they still left in Flora mentioning Sky's lack of pulse, thus confusing the viewers a bit. Also, Bloom's resurrective powers would become a plot point later on... and then get retconned again!
** There's another change in a different episode, where the girls (except Flora) cut school and go to Earth. Layla, Stella and Musa are stopped by a police officer and asked why they're not in school. In the original, Layla gives the excuse that they have permission from their parents to be out of school and offers to give the cop the phone numbers, but the cop declines and lets them go. In 4kids, Layla speaks a foreign language, making the cop think they're not from Gardenia and so he lets them go. The 4kids version is more believable because, by law, the cop should've taken in all three girls and called their parents (not that he could call them, but you get it) since skipping school (aka truancy) is illegal. Of course, Italy's truancy laws may be different...
