Just thought I'd post about a game that I bought from a guy in Hong Kong (2 copies, actually) for the Famicom:  World Heroes.  Does anyone know if this was released for any 8bit system or is this likely a port from one of the 16-bit releases?  

The game itself is pretty cool, I played it a few weeks back and the graphics were pretty good for the NES.  Best of all, though, is the packaging IMO...it came with a high quality fold-out manual with drawings of all the characters with their moves listed.  Here are some pics:

Never seen this CIB. Cool. It's likely a hack of a Street Fighter port. I've been trying to figure out how Famicom fighter games work. There are tons of them, and most of them appear to be hacks of a few original ports, which is what I suspect for World Hero.

I have this one CIB as well... if you want scans of the manual and or box for Famicom World then let me know..

Nice find man, have some screenshots?

Martin, I'd love scans. I only have the cart.

The game itself is among the worst fighters and appears to be nothing more than a hack of one of the Street Fighter ports. I've been doing a heck of a lot of research into Famicom fighters and, of all I've played, this would come near the bottom of the list. There are something like 40 Famicom fighters --I'm estimating, -- though most are just hacks of earlier versions.
