Regional Differences#

Title#

The game was released as Gun-Dec in Japan.

Cutscenes#

A couple of the game's cutscenes have changes between each version:

In the Japanese script, the substance found inside the Stage 1 boss's vehicle is specifically said to be cocaine in subsequent cutscenes. The English script complies with Nintendo of America's censorship policies by just calling it "stuff", but one could argue that the implications are still there.

The scene following Stage 6 has Reese getting shot in the head in the Japanese version. The US version simply has him getting jarred by an explosion while the background flashes, most likely due to the violence factor.

In the scene after Stage 9, the close-up of Hart that follows the boss monster's transformation flashes a different color in each version.
