One of the surprisingly common occurrences of a Konami game being better on NES than in the arcades.
Found this out in the wild while on vacation, tried it out, and was sorely disappointed that it didn't have super shots. Or boss fights. What the hell? Like, half of the cool things the game had going for it were new to the NES version. Managing your super shots and knowing when to fire them to pierce through armors and melt whatever is in front of you felt so... natural to the game's essence that I honestly couldn't believe it wasn't there from the start.
I guess it's impressive that it's a 1983 entry though.
Oh well. Love this game, still haven't actually gotten around to finishing it.
