Edono Kiba (Super Nintendo SNES)
This is a Japanese to American region conversion of Edono Kiba originally a Super Famicom exclusive.
In the year 2050 a terrorist named STEM run rampant in the streets of Tokyo. A cybernetic police officer named Kiba is sent to quell the terrorist uprising. There is more story between levels but sadly there is no fan translation available. Most of it is mission confirmation and irrelevant dialogue but it would be nice to at least know a little more about what is going on.
Edono Kiba is a combination beat ‘em up, side scrolling action game, and shooter. The playing field is a belt scroll like Double Dragon. However you are always running with enemies picking a lane and streaming in like waves in a shooter. You have two attacks, a short range sword slash and throwing the sword like a boomerang. You can also block projectiles, a skill called on during boss battles. Some levels see you board a floating platform and take to the skies to take out a flying battleship or nuclear missiles.
