Tweaking this entry to be more accurate


** There was some initial discussion of Capcom running a limited release of the game on an actual NES cartridge, as it was designed to run on NES hardware, not just to mimic the 8-bit look. This was partly scrapped to prevent the game from being dumped and pirated on any number of emulation sites. Not that this stopped piracy on modded Wii consoles, but still... And of course the costs of producing game carts for a long-dead system would've been quite high.

Not the costs associated with making a true 8-bit conversion (not to mention distributing it via a long-dead format) would've been much too high.
