You'll have to remind me why Legendary Wings is important -- NES exclusive?

EDIT: I think I noticed it's in the NES exclusive's thread, so I've answered my question. Also, is the "Legendary" missing from the title screen, so that it only says "Wings"?

Man, that is an awesome label!
  One of my past times is scanning
the Famicom labels and making them into sig pics for other boards
I post at.  I'll have to track one down if possible myself.  Is it actually
called "Legendary Wings" in Japan?  Or did it go under the label of
GYNOUG like the Mega Drive version? 
Gaming peaked in the 8-Bit & 16-Bit eras...
all else is just rehashes and insanity passing
itself off as "gaming."

Is it still listed for sale ? How much does it cost ? How can I buy from this site ? I don't understand Japanese !!!

You've already got one. Why would you want another one? Also, it's about $3 USD. It's Chinese (Taiwanese) and the only way to buy from there is to know someone in Taiwan.

Damn, I know 2 people from Taiwan, but they don't live there any more.  :D

There was a "Legendary Wings" release on Sega Genesis, also called Gynoug for the Mega Drive release.  That's why I was wondering if the Kanji or whatever was saying: "Gynoug" instead of Legendary Wings?  It's like how the Japanese Famicom game most know as Trojan for NES is called "Requiem for Battle".  Couldn't be more different.  Same thing with Altered Beast, Commando 2 [MERCS... also Battlefield of the Wolf, also Wolf Force], Metafight became "Blaster Master" on the NES and so on. 

Oh well.

Legendary Wings is "Ares no Tsubasa" (アレスの翼) in the arcades. The Megadrive game is called Gynoug (ジノーグ)

I want another one because it is a rare game and I might know someone who is looking for it !
