The US version of Nova 2001 shares the core gameplay of its Japanese counterpart: a vertically scrolling shooter with challenging enemy patterns. While the core mechanics remain the same, minor alterations in enemy designs, level layouts, and even color palettes distinguish it from the Japanese release. Like its Japanese sibling, this version showcases Konami's proficiency in creating fast-paced, engaging arcade experiences that were very popular at the time.
