The only good thing about the PC Engine version were the anime-style cinematics. The actual gameplay parts are kinda underwhelming, with poor balance and badly-drawn character sprites compared to the NES version.

I don't think people actually consider that the NES version is a downgrade when it comes to the core gameplay. Yeah it has bosses and a special attack but the bosses sorta suck. The standard level type is still the best, but not done as well as it was in the arcade.

What amazes me is how not only did a budget home computer from 1982 become the unquestioned best option for arcade ports even years after the machine came out, but also those ports more often than not outclassed the arcade and improved on the core gameplay idea. Proof that ingenuity and clever programming will always trump fancy hardware.
