{"product_id":"doom-64","title":"Doom 64","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Japanese version of Doom 64 for the Nintendo 64 was released on August 1, 1997, published by GameBank. While the gameplay is identical to the North American release, there are several unique regional differences:\u003cbr\u003e\nGreen Blood: To comply with Japanese censorship standards (possibly influenced by the Kobe child murders at the time), blood splatters were changed from red to green. However, some death animations and \"gib\" objects inconsistently still show red blood.\u003cbr\u003e\nHigher Default Brightness: The Japanese release has a significantly higher default brightness setting than the notoriously dark US version, making it easier to play on standard television sets without adjustment.\u003cbr\u003e\nMinimal Translation: Despite the Japanese release, the game is not fully translated. Most in-game text remains in English, with only small pop-up messages for items occasionally localized.\u003cbr\u003e\nBox and Cartridge Art: The Japanese box uses a portrait orientation (vs. US landscape) and replaces the \"Demon Artifact\" cover art with a simple dark slate background and a larger logo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retronation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55570204590153,"sku":"4512557600313","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/1494\/9449\/files\/20251214_110230.jpg?v=1774991377","url":"https:\/\/retronationgames.com\/products\/doom-64","provider":"Retronation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
