50 levels adapted from the arcade version are cleared. The Nintendo Entertainment System version, titled Snow Brothers in western regions, was developed by Soft House and first released in North America by Capcom in November 1991, then in Japan on December of the same year by Toaplan as well as in Europe. It features a new story sequence at the beginning which depicts an origin story unique to this version in which Nick and Tom are established to be human princes who were cursed into becoming snowmen by an evil demon named King Scorch. The Sega Mega Drive version was released only in Japan by Tengen on 28 May, 1993 and the only console version of the game to be developed by Toaplan. It features a new opening story sequence at the start of the game, as well as 20 additional levels set after the original 50 levels, in which the player switches controls from Nick and Tom to the twin princesses Puripuri and Puchipuchi after the snowmen twins themselves get kidnapped by a new adversary. The Mega Drive version is included on both the Japanese and Asian versions of the Sega Genesis Mini. ISAC Entertainment released an enhanced version of Snow Bros. for iOS and Android mobile devices in 2012. Snow Bros. is planned to be included as part of the Toaplan Arcade 1 compilation for Evercade. Cancelled ports Ocean France had plans to develop Snow Bros. for various microcomputer and console platforms such as the Amstrad GX4000, Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum in 1991 but none of these conversions were officially released by Ocean Software. Like the Game Boy port, the Amiga version lacks multiplayer functionality due to gameplay reasons. A ROM image of the Amiga version was leaked online in 2006. Reception RePlay reported Snow Bros. to be the eleventh most-popular arcade game at the time. Game Machine also listed the title on their 15 June 1990 issue as being the eleventh most-popular arcade game in Japan at the time. Donn Nauert of VideoGames & Computer Entertainment gave a positive outlook to the arcade version. In the September 1990 issue of Japanese publication Micom BASIC Magazine, the game was ranked on the number eight spot in popularity. Den of Geek noted it to be one of the titles from Toaplan in which the company pursued other game genres besides their shoot 'em up endeavors.
