There are four versions at the time of this interview.

now
0: Super Shinobi, The (Japan)
1: Revenge of Shinobi, The (USA, Europe)
2: Revenge of Shinobi, The (USA, Europe) (Rev A)
3: Revenge of Shinobi, The (USA, Europe) (Rev B)

However, in the interview it is said that all four versions were USA released.
And in Japan it is said that they released two versions (0 and 3).
It has been confirmed that it was actually released in Japan.
Japan Box art copyright ©SEGA1989MADEINJAPAN is written for the 0.

He is said 0 - is the initial version in Japan, and 3 - the last version. Just the last, not the last in Japan.

Segaretro is more reliable source.
