With so many similarities between this game and Smash T.V., it makes you wonder how Data East managed to avoid a lawsuit from Williams for copyright infringement (they were sued by Capcom a year later for the similarities between Fighter's History and Street Fighter II - The World Warrior but Capcom lost the case in the end)
The game was developed in Japan but the voices were recorded at Orio Sound Production Studio, San Jose, California.
