* ''WesternAnimation/MarvelAnimation'':

* The villains of ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' for the NES were an Imperial Forces trying to resurrect Hitler. For the English release, their symbols were changed, and even the mention of the Imperialists being Nazis were removed (the Nazis were instead known as the "Badds"). Hitler himself got a name change to "Master D," and his face was changed on the EvilOverlooker cover, though his in-game graphics were unaltered, including the famous animated picture of [[YourHeadASplode his head getting blown up with a rocket launcher]] after the FinalBoss battle and the word "Damn" slipping past the Nintendo censorship.

** This is probably why UK's Security Service will always use their previous name (MI5) when an acronym is required. And also why the the US Secret Service is always shorted to USSS.

* Airfix had to recall a model of the P-51 Mustang fighter from sale, as the box art featured a version belonging to an American ace with multiple kills. The offending issue was the representation of the pilot's "kill tally" painted underneath the cockpit side - sixteen black-over-white swastikas which in 1:72 scale would have been microscopically small and hard to make out. however, Airfix still had to amend the decal sheet [[note]]The decal now showed anonymous black crosses[[/note]] and replace the box art.

** British model makers Matchbox didn't care and cheerfully put swastika decals into all relevant models. they even manufactured a "diorama base" to display the completed model on, showing a partly destroyed Nazi headquarters, distinguished by an eagle-and-swastika carving to put over the door. Scroll forward in time to when Revell bought out Matchbox and started marketing its models. All swastika insignia gone from the decal sheets. And that diorama base shows an eagle, perched on a laurel wreath, inside which is a shapeless blobby thing.

* The [[VideoGame/TengaiMakyouIIManjimaru second game]] in the Japan-only RPG series ''VideoGame/TengaiMakyou'' that was first released on the UsefulNotes/PCEngine (which has the distinction of being on the top ten all-time most popular games in Japan) was titled ... ''Manji''maru, named after TheHero. Swastikas are featured prominently on the title screen, and in many, '''many''' occurrences throughout the game. Come the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS port, and the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube remake, both Japan-only, and most of them are inexplicably removed!

* Creator/{{Nintendo}} officially banned any UsefulNotes/{{Mii}}s named "Hitler" from being usable online in games like ''VideoGame/MarioKartWii'', though the name is still possible to be entered into the Mii Channel itself, and the words "Hitler" and "Nazi" (and various misspellings therof) cannot be entered into ''any'' software on the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch.
