Nintendo, however, feared issues with the graphic violent content in the game, and licensed a version from Acclaim for the SNES that stripped out the fatalities and made other changes to remove most of the content Nintendo had objected to. Sega licensed a version with no changes from the original arcade game. Both home versions were released in September 1993, and approximately 6.5 million units were sold over its lifetime, but with three to five times as many Genesis versions compared to the SNES version.[1]
