Title screen says "Shoot out"

It's quite common for flyers (and even older games) to show names with in ALL CAPS, not sure we should adopt that. Except in special rare cases where it's 100% intentional and part of a naming gimmick (eg. when we emulate the iPhones, iPods etc.) then it probably makes sense to stay fairly neutral for this kind of thing.

Interesting all the materials you found are Data East USA anyway, situation for this game is curious, there's even a note in the driver suggesting it might have been made by the USA division rather than in Japan.
