Lode Runner
Several versions of "Lode Runner" were not released in the U.S., such as "Lode Runner Twin" and "Power Lode Runner" (1999, SFC), which vary gameplay, mostly by adding different characters and scenarios. Another title, "Battle Lode Runner", was originally exclusive to Japan, but made available on 23 April 2007 as the first Japan-only game to appear on Nintendo's Virtual Console service. The original "Lode Runner" followed in June 2007. There is also a "Cubic Lode Runner", a 3-D "Lode Runner" variant released only in Japan for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2.
