It's a Taiwanese release, nothing official. The NES one you pretty much would have to assume is related I'd think =p
I just sold a boxed copy of this on eBay a couple weeks back. There's one release that has Japanese text, and then the one you see in that auction, which has a box with Chinese. Never have been clear if it was released in Japan, but the JP version makes it feel official. It's definitely an unlicensed game, though.
