One of the very first SNES releases, although it ultimately didn't make it overseas. I suppose that maybe they thought Western audiences wouldn't recognize the characters, which is bizarre to think about nowadays considering it's a fucking crossover between Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Gundam. Everyone nowadays knows about at least Gundam, no? Maybe this wasn't the case at all and they just canned the NA release for no discernible reason, but other absurd localizations of the time (such as turning that shitty Hokuto no Ken game on Genesis into "Last Battle" or whatever) lead me to believe that was at least a possibility. Fuck if I know how popular all these things were in 1990.
The game's pretty alright, reminds me of Pocky & Rocky. It provides three characters at the start and maxes out at six, going from one character per series to two. You can switch between them with the R button, and none are particularly bad, but I often found myself sticking to Kamen Rider and V3. I think they might've been a bit faster than the others? I made sure to switch around now and then though because of a weird choice with the music, where it changes depending on your character selected instead of what stage you're on. All the themes got kinda grating after a while, but it's better than letting just one become extremely grating I guess? Should've just made more songs I think. Landing jumps is also a little weird from time to time due to the angle, but that and the music are the only major issues I really had.
I had a pretty decent time overall, would recommend if you're into stuff like Pocky & Rocky or Blaster Master. Apparently there are five Great Battle games on SNES, all of which supposedly play pretty differently, and all of which have full translations by Aeon Genesis. Maybe I should see those too some time.
