Item Description
Capcom could have shipped a straight shrink of its arcade sequel to 1942. Instead, the company ported 1943: The Battle of Midway to the NES itself in 1988 and turned it into something more interesting: a vertical shooter with a character sheet. Before takeoff you spend points across five attributes for your P-38 Lightning, offensive power, defensive power, maximum energy, special weapon ability and special weapon duration, and hidden power-ups tucked into the stages let you keep strengthening the plane after each mission.
The core is classic Capcom. Fighter formations and bombers peel in across open ocean and stormy skies, a single energy bar drains steadily and takes a hit with every bullet, and enormous turret-bristling battleships fill the screen, to be picked apart one gun at a time. The NES game stretches the arcade's 16 stages to 24, and investing in special weapon ability is how you widen the set of weapons that power-ups can give you, so two runs can feel very different depending on how you've built the plane. A password system keeps your progress, which matters, because the later stages turn demanding.
Even the history got a fictional twist: the Japanese Famicom version traded Midway for the subtitle The Battle of Valhalla. Retro fans often single out the NES game as the most distinctive version of 1943, and it's a big step up from the NES port of 1942. It belongs to Capcom's strong late-eighties NES run alongside Mega Man and Bionic Commando, and it's the version to seek out if you like your shoot-'em-ups with a layer of RPG-style planning.
