The NES port was developed in-house by Technos and published outside Japan by Tradewest in 1988. Because Technos was inexperienced in developing NES games at the time (having only ported ''Renegade'' to the NES prior to it), the arcade game's popular [[CoOpMultiplayer co-op two-player mode]] was omitted, replaced with a turn-based one and a "Mode B" one-on-one fighting mode where the player controls the Lee brothers or five enemy characters (with match ups being limited to {{mirror match}}es due to memory limitations). The game's plot was altered to fit this change: Billy ventures out on his own to save Marian, and fight his own brother Jimmy , who is now the "Shadow Boss" of the Black Warriors. The level designs were changed to make the adventure longer than the arcade game, and it added a CharacterLevel feature (the player earns experience points by beating up enemies, which allows Billy to gain new techniques as he levels up).

** Because of the differences between the arcade and NES versions due to their slightly different character roster and Jimmy's role as an antagonist in the latter, some of the manuals for other conversions ended up adopting these discrepancies in their manuals by mistake. For example, the manual for the home computer ports all listed Chin Taimei (or Chintai, as his name was localized) as an enemy, despite those versions being based on the arcade game (where Chin never existed), while the Game Boy version makes reference of Jimmy's role as the Shadow Boss in the manual despite the actual game ending its single-player mode with Willy as the final boss without Jimmy showing up at all. The manual for the Genesis version is possibly the biggest offender in this instance, in which the author mistakenly assume Willy was supposed to be Jimmy himself.

Martial artists Billy and Jimmy Lee (or Hammer and Spike, as they were inadvertently renamed briefly in the U.S.) must rescue [[DamselInDistress their lady-friend Marian]] from the clutches of the Black Warriors, the dominant street gang of New York City. The Lee brothers must punch, kick, and jump their way through enemy forces across four stages to rescue her from the clutches of Machine Gun Willy, the leader of the Black Warriors. The original arcade game also had an infamous TwistEnding: if two players clear the game, they must fight to the death for Marian's love.
