Unlike the original Japanese pressing, Rev B (likely 1.2) fixes the infamous “Newtype leveling crash” in certain late-game stages, plus some MAP weapon targeting glitches. The 21M stamp suggests a minor mastering revision—probably just copy protection updates and a few text typos. But here’s the thing: Rev B also slightly rebalances enemy AI on the hardest difficulty. Don’t quote me, but I swear the Wraiths in Stage 43 actually prioritize your Support Defend units now.
