Operation Wolf's Japanese NES version offers a localized experience. Developed by Taito, the original arcade version heavily influenced the gameplay across all versions.  The core elements of rescuing hostages by shooting enemies, navigating the stages, and progressing through the storyline would still be present.  The Japanese adaptation might differ slightly in terms of graphics, sound, or perhaps minor gameplay modifications depending on the localization efforts.
