Every character is able to fight with punches, kicks, or other close combat attacks.

On October 9, 2010 Konami revealed that the game would be coming to PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. The game was ported by Backbone Entertainment with the original US and Japanese ROMs and was released on December 14, 2010 and December 15, 2010 respectively. The Xbox 360 and PS3 port features drop-in local or online multiplayer for up to seven players (only four local players possible on the XBLA version), as well as custom matchmaking and adjustable difficulty. Players can also choose between the USA and Japanese versions of the game. All of the English and Japanese voices were re-recorded, but the script retained the infamous lines from the original game. In the re-recorded script, Veronica Taylor reprises her role of the 7 Nanas while the bosses are being voiced by Steven Blum, Beau Billingslea, Matthew Mercer and Kyle Herbert.
The game was delisted from both digital stores at the end of 2013.
