Vaporware a listing of games that never became.

[heartofagamer]

Hellraiser for the NES by Color Dreams
(who later became the Christian-oriented Wisdom Tree, IIRC)

Hellraiser would've been one of the most advanced NES games with some special processors that went beyond even some of the more advanced special processors in Konami NES games,

 

[heartofagamer]

Final Fantasy IV for the Famicom / NES ?

might be fake, dunno.

 

[heartofagamer]

U.S.M.C Harrier for the NES

HeartofGamer would you at least
(when using) give me credit for putting
up scans of MEGA PLAY Magazine if you're
going to use them! Jeez, you didn't even
change the name of the files taken from
Sega-Spetsnaz.Com that I myself
generically titled stuff like Jan-Feb91-01.jpg
etc, etc.

Beyond that, it's interesting to see some of
the scans I didn't do that you're putting up.

[heartofagamer]

now I have a picture I wanted of a list of then-upcoming MegaDrive games in 1991, many of which never came out, including Altered Beast 2

what the FUCK happened to ALTERED BEAST 2, SEGA?

 

[redrum666]

heartofagamer maybe you should have put this from the site with the list of games you posted most of the games had came to the US

Well I take no part in the idea or creation of this list, I found it on the amazing site Japanese Gaming, the author of the site tells me he translated this list from an unknown source, I will try and update this already list with further games, and possibly a link with information portaining to each game. Much of the Mega Drive section are US games that never made it to Japan. and a lot of the SMS games came out in the US to

 

[OrochiEddie]

i was looking in an old nintendo power after reading this and the one soon to be released game that cought my eye...
Supere Mario 64 2

ha
haha
hahaha

ahh nintendo like you would try

 

[EliteDoomMaster]

This was perhaps the most acclaimed 2D fighting game to ever be created somebody other than Capcom or SNK. In fact, Eternal Champions was dreamed up by none other than Deep Water, one of Sega of America's own in-house programming teams. The Genesis version was pretty good, and the Sega CD version was spectacular but suffered from the limitations of its consoles. Eternal Champions: The Final Chapter would have picked up on one of the loose ends from the Sega CD game - the appearance of the Infernals - and gone on to introduce new characts and an all-new tournament.
Sega of America was already making plans to release the third and final installment on Saturn and souping up the game engine big time when their superiors over in Japan put their foot down and said "NO!" It wasn't going to happen because they wanted Virtua Fighter - a game that had come out of their own programming stable - to be the definitive fighting game for the platform. Not only did Eternal Champions for Saturn never see the light of day, it never even got its foot in the door. It's a crying shame, too, because the Sega CD version received a lot of good reviews and many American gamers were looking forward to playing a spiffed-up Saturn version. Word leaked in October 1996 that the game was indeed going to be axed, and Sega of America reluctantly confirmed that sad reality before the year was out.
In retrospect, Eternal Champions: The Final Chapter might have been one of those regional titles that could have helped push console sales had it been given a fair chance, but it never got that opportunity. Sega of Japan killed Eternal Champions for Saturn before one line of alpha code ever made it through a Saturn development kit.

Final Fantasy IV for the Famicom / NES ?

might be fake, dunno.

Its real, well, a real mockup anyway. Thats all it ever was. Production never began on it.

 

[heartofagamer]

redrum666 - that post of yours did not really make sense....

 

[LoneSage]

Who died for Strider CD?

The programmer on the SuperGrafx version, hence the teddy bear-throwing Hiryu in SFA3.

 

[TemJin3000]

im suprised no one mentioned "Capcom Fighting All-Stars: Code Holder".

 

[jeff bogard]

i was just thinking about this a while ago...

the only ones i can think of:

MK Special Forces (jax and Sonia) for 64
Riqa for tne 64
Jungle Tai Tei (Kimba the white lion) for the 64
Mother 3 - N64, i sitll think it would have been a great MMORPG, if it had been released on PC, but its nitendo....

i had a feeling 3rd strike would make it to the 64, but had no idea it was a workign project, with the n64 control, i was expecting a SF soonner or later. In fact i was wainting for one, outside Mk Trilogy. I was really dissappointed when nothing happened.

 

[BBH]

hi AirRaid.

Citizen X

not entirely true. While it was never OFFICIALLY released by Digital Pictures, the beta code was purchased and licensed by Good Deal Games, so it has gotten a release, sort of. It's entirely playable to the end too.

The only reason to even mention this game though is that it has an FMV cutscene of a mime licking an invisible dick.

yeah, you only WISH I was joking.

 

[norton9478]

Nobody has mentioned Warcraft Adventures for the PC...

It looke INteresting.... Was nearly complete but didn't pass Blizzard's tough QC.

Story Elements of it supposedly ended up in World Of Warcraft.

 

[norton9478]

Hellraiser would've been one of the most advanced NES games with some special processors that went beyond even some of the more advanced special processors in Konami NES games,

I doubt it.

Color Dreams and Wizdom Tree never made a game that was really worth Playing.

 

[Magician]

True Fantasy Online

Exclusive MMO for the Xbox announced for release in the 3rd generation of first-year games. Cancelled a year after the Xbox's launch, Microsoft said "we (Level 5) are unable to create a stable online environment for what we envisioned". Developed by Level 5, the game engine was later used in Dragon's Quest VIII and Rogue Galaxy.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda, been a great game.

 

[gamejunkie]

anyone remeber the TOPGUN game that was going to be one of the 1st N64 games but never came out

I think its being ported to the DS.

http://www.gamespot.com/ds/action/topgun/index.html

 

[norton9478]

I hope it's better than the other Next Gen/GBA top Guns....

NES Top Gun I/II> ALL

 

[TrueTrials]

I've got 3 or 4 videos of in-game footage of the Final Fantasy planned for N64, looked pretty good..

I like seeing these kind of threads about the games that could of been great or not so great and the stories behind them. Good Reading..

So many good games.. virtua tenis, millenium fire, virtua fighter 3.

There's some missing: shenmue, GTA, fighting force, reloaded, etc.

What a depressing thread!

"Well, there's no point in counting how old your deceased child would be."


Besides, none of us knows which games on that list, dispite their potential, would have been very bad had they been released.

Sure of course, but a certain number of those games weren't released ,not because they were bad, but because they stop suporting the system.

I guess we'll never know
