At one point in development, there were plans for an NES release of the game that ultimately never came out. The port was only mentioned once in a 1988 Capcom sales brochure, and the only known screenshot was discovered by Video Game History Foundation director Frank Cifaldi and featured in the Museum section in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection.

Capcom released a "Deluxe Version" of the game's original arcade cabinet which featured pressure sensitive pads. Players would have to punch the pads in order to execute attacks, and the game measured the pressure applied to result in light, medium or heavy attacks. These machines were often subject to heavy wear and tear due to the nature of hitting the machine.
