In the west, it was billed as selling point for the Mega Drive system during its first few months, retailing at a higher price than most games available for the console at the time. It also marks the beginning of Sega's relationship with the then-industry powerhouse [[Capcom]], who until this point had avoided releasing games for Sega systems.
