Streets of Rage 3 (US Ver.): Title Screen & Prologue
You've already seen a full playthrough of this game from me on Easy Mode, maybe, but now I'm about to due it on Normal Mode, which is actually the equivalent of the Japanese version's Hard Mode.
The very start of Streets of Rage 3 is kinda shorter compared to its Japanese version Bare Knuckle III. This American version cuts out the opening cutscene where a whole city is enveloped by a nuclear explosion. Nonetheless, that's still a threat in this version of the game.
Also, alongside that, the US version of this game also cut Axel pulling a Rambo and punching the screen.
----------
As Blaze's letter to Axel explains, the evil Syndicate and their leader, Mr. X, that she and others have faced twice in the past have managed to return once again. Their next plan is to replace the city's top-ranking officials with robot clones.
At the same time, the Chief of Police has gone missing, and the bomb threats throughout the city has left everyone else distracted, too, including Adam.
Blaze is not only teaming up with Adam's little brother, Skate, again, but they have a new friend in Dr. Zan, who used to work for the Syndicate and has now betrayed them in order to save the city from their threat. All that Blaze asks from Axel is to respond to the letter she sent to him, and show up to lead the Bare Knuckle Brawlers to victory once again.

This actually both changes and leaves out some things from the Japanese script. If you want to see what that script could've said in English, along with the opening cutscene of a bomb's destruction upon the city, check the link below. I'll keep uploading both versions of the game in tandem with each other:
