There are a lot of comments in Youtube videos where people remember this game fondly from their childhood. I guess the import market worked on this one (that, or then the emulation scene started so long ago, that many were kids back then still, ugh now I feel old). And it's a bit odd this didn't get localized, there's only some japanese text in the end credits I believe. Or maybe Naxat thought it didn't stand a change against the hammer of censorship from Nintendo of America.
