Does anyone know why this game wasn't released in the US? It would have been cool to have another released game in 1994. I saw it mentioned in one or two issues of Nintendo Power in Pak Watch, but it never got released in the states.

Probably because no one was buying NES games in 1994 and its publisher would have lost money if it was released.

Kinda funny how Mega Man 6 was released in 1994 in North America but not in the UK because it was a weaker market and the game would have sold poorly...

... Yet something like Beauty and the Beast was released in an completely opposite manner. I really have no idea what the marketing execs were thinking at the time.
