1943: The Battle of Midway, known as 1943: Middouei Kaisen in Japan, is a 1987 shoot ’em up arcade game developed and published by Capcom. It was the first follow-up to Capcom’s earlier 1942. Released exactly one year after the arcade version, the NES version of 1943 introduced the ability to improve the player’s plane by permanently upgrading certain aspects of its abilities.
