Nintendo once made a developer remove the name of a famous Marvel location from a game!
In the early '90s, Nintendo was very cautious about any content that released on its platforms. The company had built a family friendly reputation and fought hard to preserve it.
— Kevin Edwards September 30, 2022 As anyone that has played Arcade's Revenge knows, the vast majority of the game takes place in Murderworld, so it's pretty funny that its name couldn't be mentioned. However, in the days before the ESRB existed, it is somewhat understandable why Nintendo worried about how parents would react. For those unfamiliar with the game, it's loosely based on a story from Uncanny X-Men #123-124.
Of course, as anyone familiar with the history of the Super Nintendo can attest, this is hardly the most high-profile thing Nintendo censored during the era. One year later, Nintendo would put heavy restrictions on another Acclaim published game: Mortal Kombat. The arcade version's blood was replaced with sweat, and multiple Fatalities were removed.
