1943: The Battle of Midway is Capcom’s vertically scrolling follow-up to 1942. Capcom developed and published the NES version in North America in October 1988. The home conversion expands the arcade-style shooting with an energy meter, upgrade system and a longer sequence of missions. The North American release was sold as a standard gray NES cartridge with a manual and cardboard box under catalog number NES-43-USA. This page covers the standard retail release and combines ordinary manufacturing, label, manual and insert differences unless a materially distinct print is documented separately. Buyers should compare complete copies by matching the correct North American box, cartridge and manual.
