From trivia:

"When the time came to develop a Famicom/NES version, Technos Japan decided to work on the game themselves. While the first two NES games took a few liberties with their arcade counterparts, they still retained the same gameplay and appearance as the original versions. The NES version of Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones on the other hand is almost a completely different game as its arcade counterpart. The NES version is the only version made by Technos Japan. "

Also, a sourced sentence from wikipedia:

Although loosely based on the similarly titled arcade game Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone, it is not a port, but rather a parallel project that was developed at the same time.

So does the NES version need to be split?

Arcade levels - NES levels. Arcade walkthrough - NES walkthrough.

Only level two seems vaguely similar in layout.

So I say yes, NES needs a new entry.

Ok, I submitted a new game description for a split.

That was fast, thanks! Split all done, only a trivia revision is still pending.
