I think it is, but this isn't a US release, afaik. It's a PCE release with a US back insert. It's really a shame that a US version often goes for a ridiculous amount when the PCE version is a fraction of the cost, but I guess that's ignorance for you. I'm interested in checking this game out, but fighting games really aren't my bag, so $30 (or even half that, really) is out of my league.
Bernie is an outstanding person to deal with. He's really one of the most generous people on the forums and I've had my fair share of dealings with with him over the past year or so. Do not hesitate to strike up a deal with him.
