Cancelled NGPC games that were actually in production

KoF R-3 (SNK)
SNK Chara Race Game (ITL)

Both of these titles were listed as being in production up to 10/2000, from the NF (NeogeoFreak - not NGF) issues, but in NF 11/2000 they were dropped from the tentative title lists, leaving stuff like Big Bang Bang and Nigeronpa, which were already released on the release list for the NGPC (I guess they had to make it look like they had something...)

However, it should be noted that NF never displayed Ikari Warriors or Magician Lord ont eh production list. It did once have Ironclad on the MVS production list up to 90%, and the same for QP, Zentrick, Pair Pair, Ghostlop, Warlocks of the Fates, etc. All those games which became unreleased protos actually reached a certain level of completion (between 80~90% which means that usually the sound was put in, or testing wasn't complete). Anyhow, the level of completion isn't noted until the game has passed 60% usually, but for KoF R-3 and SNK Racers they never reached 60% - at best I would say that these two games would be unplayable. If they reached 60%, maybe I'd have a different opinion on that, but well, right now it doesn't look much better than that.

its not finished damn you, didn't you read?

So close to getting KOF R-3, very frustrating that such a great little system didn't last longer.

Pisses me off to think of all the great new NGPC games we could have had if it only lasted another year.

But thanks for the info all the same

then i want the prototype cart for KoF R-3

ive been waiting for the prototype carts to surface on ebay

theres a big difference in saying if a system would have lasted another year and if a system would have lasted five more years <img src="graemlins/shame.gif" border="0" alt="[Shame]" />


but anyway in that one year who knows what gems would have been released for the NGPC! why we could even have seen an english CFC2

i bet an english cfc2 proto would go for a decent amount

<a href="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/justincastle/ngpc/unreleased.htm" target="_blank">http://homepage.ntlworld.com/justincastle/ngpc/unreleased.htm</a> I like to look at this list and wonder which of these really might have been...

I'd have loved to have seen Battle Royale, especially if it was based on the novel/movie!
