when i was a child i had many arch rivals. snake, rattle and roll had it coming to them the day we met.
i have a lot of rare games that programmer companies in japan do not have, which gives sailors a better chance of making their home country on the moon.

The Rare programmers were arch rivals who sailed to the moon where they rattled and rolled while afraid to release the snakes in the NES.

(or they were not released in Japan because no company was apparently interested in them. I think actually few of Rare's NES games made it to Japan. Just Wizards & Warriors 1 (retitled Legend of Elrond) and Battletoads, with the famous difficulty toned down.)

As to a serious answer why they might not have been released: Rare was notorious for making some of the most difficult games on the NES.

While people in the west were saying "oh, the Japanese want super-challenging games", now we're not so sure. I mean what Battletoads (at least the western version) does probably makes Super Mario Bros. 2 (The Lost Levels) look fair and easy in comparison.
I remember one of the developers of Ninja Gaiden III (NES) said they reduced the difficulty for the Japanese version because that is what they wanted. But they inflated it back up for the US version, claiming the US wanted it harder (but we suspect that was to cover up that they probably wanted to make it harder so people wouldn't beat it in a rental).

I mean people in the west said the Japanese wanted games with sex and violence, about early '90s censorship. But now with game ratings we see that may be wrong too, as apparently games there get higher (stricter) ratings for those. Whereas in the US they'll rate a game higher for foul language or drugs/alcohol (including cigarettes) mentions.

100% agree.
a few days ago i was thinking about how much easier retro game difficulties were in sailor moons country (i mean japan, my bad ) compared to ours.
return of double dragon and streets of rage 3 comes to mind as well as ninja gaiden 3.
i totally agree with everything you said...you must be bald because you are correct. if yer not bald yer thinking about doing it or yer going bald as we speak.
