TRIVIA

Released in October 1980.

The title screen shows that 'SNK' stands for 'Shinnihon Kikaku'.

The third game manufactured by SNK was their first colored game.

This game is one of the earliest titles to have bosses, labeled as "magical bonuses" during play.

At the game over screen, Sasuke humorously trips over a rock and falls lying on the floor.

In the artwork of the original Japanese arcade flyer, shows the character Sasuke represented like the original sprite and has a wrong color combination that does not match to the original color of sprite of the character in the game.

A Sasuke vs. Commander machine appears in the SNK Neo Geo Pocket game "SNK vs. Capcom Cardfighters Clash".
