Hey there my fellow gamers!
If you read the finds post, you will know i have just finished my 60hz + Region switch mod on my Megadrive II and 60hz is damn sexy!
As most of you will be aware, the region mod can change certain things within games.
Boot Up Streets Of Rage with JAP switch ON and you get this:

And Revenge Of Shinobi turns into:

I found 1 more thru experimenting, although this is not exactly worth doing, but the 60hz switch slows down Sonic if being played from the Mega Games 6 Cart... useless!
So my question is, what other games have little extras like these as shown as above when the Region is changed?

Oh, there's tons of these aswell, loads of early black-box game will have at least a Japanese title screen. I think Genesis Colective mentioned a lot of them.

Magical Hat Adventure - Decap attack
Junkers High - Outrun 2019
Puyo puyo - DR Robotnic’s Mean Bean Machine
I can tell you for sure that these three don't do that. While these are different names for the same games, they don't have region-selected titles or anything...
Outrun 2019 was only known as Junker's High in Asia (not Japan as some would have you believe). MBM and Decap Attack don't change at all when run in Japanese mode -- I've tried.

Final Blow - Buster Douglas Boxing
Magical Hat Adventure - Decap attack
Puyo puyo - DR Robotnic’s Mean Bean Machine
I Thought these were changed when brought over to the states/europe.
I'm pretty sure Buster Douglas was based upon the game "Final Blow" and not just a region specific game.
Decap Attack will not change into MHA as the art in the game was totally changed to that horror motif.
