Version Differences

• The title screen is animated differently. The Japanese logo appears with a lightning bolt, while in English it scrolls down from above.
• Several options are renamed.
• The Japanese-only revision always plays as Daimakaimura, regardless of system region (references to Ghouls'n Ghosts remain in the ROM).
• In addition to the automatic selection, international versions added a button code to toggle the game between Ghouls'n Ghosts and Daimakaimura.
