Operation Thunderbolt (NES)

The documented Nintendo home release is for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, with the North American version released in 1994. Nintendo lists Operation Thunderbolt as the SNES version in its Operation Night Strikers collection, while Operation Wolf is the Taito game with an NES version.

Yes, Taito's Operation Thunderbolt is the 1988 arcade sequel to Operation Wolf. It keeps the light-gun rescue-shooter idea but adds forward-scrolling pseudo-3D sections and two-player arcade play. [Operation Thunderbolt overview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Thunderbolt_(video_game))

The SNES description says six soldiers, including Dan Burnett and Shin Miyamoto, must rescue passengers and crew from a hijacked airliner held by soldiers of the fictional Republic of Bintazi. The console version also lets the player choose a stage at the beginning.

Yes, the 1994 Super NES version supports Nintendo's Super Scope, and it also supports the SNES Mouse. That makes the light-gun shooter label more accurate for SNES than for an NES catalog entry. [Operation Thunderbolt details](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588546-operation-thunderbolt)
