Regional Differences

Copyright Message

Added in the US version of the game before the Capcom logo is this copyright notice to specify the American division of Capcom.

Region Error

Attempting to play the US version of the game on a PAL console will boot to this screen, complete with a misspelling of "game pak". Much like many Capcom games with region lockout-based methods, the game will continue to load normally after a little while. The Japanese version does not contain this region lockout and will properly play on PAL consoles.

Decapitated Hydra Heads

In the Japanese version, when you defeat the Hydra in stage 4, its decapitated heads fall to the ground, just like in the arcade version. The US version censors this by moving the decapitated heads to the far right of the screen in order to cover up the gory part.
