This could've been a fantastic game if it had been properly finished. As it stands, it's absolutely loaded with weird bugs and glitches, questionable collision detection, a poor translation even by late 80s Capcom standards, and the triangle jump maneuver you need for certain portions of the game is ridiculously tricky to pull off without a turbo controller.

I really get the feeling that Capcom USA wanted to get this out to ride on the popularity of the arcade game, and just didn't give the Japanese branch time to actually put on the finishing touches this game desperately needed

Poor translation? This was originally made with Japanese text then?

Yeah, this was originally going to be released on the Famicom and then for whatever reason got canceled, the Japanese prototype ROM is floating around somewhere
