Description
Top Copy of Capcom's Debut Console Game
1942 - Wata 9.6 A+ Sealed [Hangtab, "Made in Japan" Printed,
Third Production], NES Capcom 1986 USA. Wata's September 2025
population report reveals just one copy of this variant of
1942, and this newly certified example has a much higher
grade. Initially omitted from the box, this third production
version permanently included "Made in Japan" as printed text,
replacing the sticker previously used to correct the omission.
Capcom's very first console release, 1942 was adapted from
the company's groundbreaking 1984 arcade hit that helped define and
popularize the vertical scrolling shooter genre. Loosely based on
the Battle of Midway and set in the Pacific Theater of World War
II, the game put players in the cockpit of a fighter plane on a
mission to reach Tokyo and destroy the Japanese air fleet. The NES
port preserved the arcade original's signature "loop-the-loop"
evasive maneuver, a feature that set it apart from other shooters
and added a memorable layer of strategy to the nonstop aerial
action.View the certification for Wata Certification ID 610537-001, including grader's notes if available.
