Ninja Cop Saizou (Famicom)

The Japanese version for Wrath of the Black Manta is really neat.

Game was easy enough to go through without knowing Japanese due to my prior experience with the American version.

It seemed to have a similar story except you're not rescuing your master's top student but to put a stop to the evil organization. It also has different cut scenes.

The OST for the game is pretty good. I think I almost like it more than Wrath of the Black Manta's OST. (it's still a good OST regardless)

There were a few different graphics for the enemies and the level one boss looked totally different. He also has a new attack for you to avoid.

Black Manta also has a cool high jump animation in this version.

Some of your Ninpo Arts got switched around for whatever reason but it was an easy adjustment.

It did indeed have an extra level that was left out of the American version.

There is a Boss Rush at the end of the game. In the American version you had a choice of facing any of the previous bosses and only had to defeat one of them to move on to the final boss. You have to defeat all 5 to move on to the final boss. That alone makes it a little more difficult to contend with than the American version.

There are 4 different bosses not in the American version so it was new to me. 2 of the bosses remained the same (The 3 Ninja/Totem boss and the 3 Robots from the American version) Even the last boss was different and you can take down the boss however you want without that hostage/using 4 specific Ninja Arts nonsense. The last boss was most similar to Mega Man 2's final boss The evil head of the organization turns into an Alien that looks almost similar to the Xenomorph and he has a similar pattern to Dr. Wily's alien form.

I think I like Wrath of the Black Manta a little more. Ninja Cop Saizou is still worth checking out.
