Werewolf: The Last Warrior seems to be the result of failing to get a license from Marvel (likely to make a Wolverine game). That Iron Head looks so familiar, not to mention Dr. Faryan's second form...

The ending screen became a lot less patriotic for the Japanese version. The black space was also turned green.

How patriotic.

In it's natural habitat.

Music#

The Japanese version changes the music slightly, mainly changing one of the DPCM drums from a bongo drum (?) to a bass kick.

Miscellaneous#

In the Japanese version:

  • The A and B buttons are reversed to match the time-tested button layout for platformers on the system (A to jump and B to attack).
  • The "NOO!" projectile usable by the hero's human form (by holding the attack button and releasing) has a much shorter charge time.
