Notes

Unlike the Arcade version, the Famicom/NES releases do not feature any Staff Credits roll. It is therefore unknown if any further staff members participated or contributed to these releases in any way. However, it should be noted that Capcom composers were known to contribute and help with in other projects at the same, and have the game only credit the music to the original assigned composer. An interview with staff members and the liner notes in another album release (Cat: D28B-0011) reveals this occurred for the enhanced 1943: Kai version, released at the same time. There is however no direct evidence the same happened for the Arcade or Famicom/NES version.

Kumi Yamaga is confirmed as having worked on this release as her music is featured in the game from the Arcade version where she is credited under her alias of Jungle Kumi.

Yoshihiro Sakaguchi is confirmed to have worked on the Famicom/NES as his sound driver is used for the game. He is also confirmed via interviews and the liner notes from an official album (Cat: 28XA-204) release as having worked on the project; however his exact contributions are unknown.
