	Because the game was produced at the same time as the ''Hokuto no Ken 2'' anime series entered production, certain plot details differ from both, the manga and anime. Most notably, the renegade [[Gento Kō Ken]] masters from the anime, [[Taiga]] and [[Boltz]], co-exists as enemy characters alongside [[Jakō]]'s sons from the manga, [[Jask]] and [[Sheeno]], while [[Bronza]], a character exclusive to this game, serves as the General of the Red Light in place of [[Shoki]], who filled the same role in the anime. While Shoki himself never appears in the game, his death at the hands of Sheeno is acknowledged in the official strategy guide. The game only covers the Tentei story arc, with a bonus stage featuring the [[Nameless Asura]] as a hidden final boss.

			===Bugs===
			The NES version introduces a few bugs that did not exists in its Famicom counterpart, particularly regarding the use of continues.
			*If you use a continue once before completing Stage 7, instead of displaying the "bad ending" like in the Japanese version, the game will display show a glitched screen while playing a loud noise. It will then promptly return to the title screen. This change was likely done due to the developers removing the ending itself (most likely due to the presence of Lui, who was removed in the American version along with all the other NPCs), but not the triggering method itself.
			*Continues will take you to the last stage you've played, rather than limiting you to just Stage 4. However, if you use a continue on the last stage and defeat the Nameless Shura, instead of displaying the ending properly, it will take you to series of glitched versions of the boss battles from Vs. Mode. After the third boss (Taiga) is defeated, Kenshiro will end up in another glitched screen where he falls to his death into a bottomless pit until running out of lives.
