What is up with the NES version of Dragon Buster?

I mean... seriously. Play the arcade version and then play this one. You have to practically run to the edge of the screen before it starts scrolling. You have no time to react to anything you come across because you're already at the edge of the screen. Who thought this was a good design choice?

Don't get me wrong, I like the game for the challenge, but man it does get really hard. Wish there was a way to try the arcade game. There is an Arcade Stadium coming to Steam and for a brief second I was hoping it would be there, then I realized it is a Capcom collection.

Oh I agree! I love Dragon Buster. I had the complete Namco Museum collection on the PSX back in the day and Dragon Buster was one of the games I played repeatedly. It was the arcade version and a very enjoyable yet challenging game. But the scrolling in the NES version is not what I would consider the "good" kind of challenge.
