[edit] Video Game

Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain was released in 1991 on the Famicom in Japan. The game was released in the rest of the world as Shatterhand for the NES. It is currently unknown which version was made first. The differences are mainly cosmetic (changing sprites and the story) but there were a few more noticeable changes such as which boss appeared in what level and one level was completely different in the 2 versions, Japan has a "Theme Park" level and the other version has a "Nuclear Submarine" level. The Japanese version is slightly easier.
