Various unreleased and beta games

thanks for your answer you could found some more information in my page
http://neogeocdworld.info/html/dossiers/protos.htm

Do you know or remember where you read this rumor ?

 

I meet one of the programmer of Arcade zone, he said me the first level have converter but not the other (it's a SNES game )

 

neogeocdworld > To my knowledge, It has always been said Conan was a Jaguar game. Plus, we know for sure the developer was working on a Jaguar brawler back in the day.

Neo-Geo CD (Next Generation 1 - january 1995)




Celine > a few articles say Rocket Boy was also meant to be released on Mega-CD.

CD Consoles 5 - march 1995)






Mega Force 36 - February 1995

 

As Youlete said, on Next Generation.

Just checked before going to bed and I have this little scan too:


GameFan 1-3

The funny thing is that I don't even think Neo Geo CD was available at the time.

@Youloute
I know but the only gameplay screenshots we have seen have too many color for Mega Drive color palette so I always assumed it was meant for the Mega CD 32X combo more than Mega CD standalone.

 

Hello

So ok i understand Next Génération is the US version of Edge (UK)
so i scan this one here
http://neogeocdworld.info/images/pub_doc/articles/us-uk/edge15neogeocd02.jpg

Pilotwings 2 - Super NES - unreleased
Actually, this game has never been advertised and Nintendo never revelead the game was in development at the time.
The first time I heard about it was a few months ago in the last Pix 'n Love issue (a french magazine) for which Dylan Q*bert gave an interview :



(Pix 'n Love 23)

It says while one of Nintendo's team was working on SMW 2, Miyamoto and his crew were working on a new Pilotwings which used the Super FX 2.


And then on Twitter :

simsville was a game i was interested in since its announce, but it quickly dissapeared after the announce for the sims hot date, there was a beta shown off where people could play it in 2001 found here

i wish the beta had been copied

 

Youloute: i found my discution it's was in 2003, he said me Conan was based on the Legend SNES game
So in my remenber it was the same game

 

Olalà, great find!
Thank you Youloute.

BTW years ago I've read a rumor in an italian mag that cited a polygonal F-Zero for SNES.
Probably bullshit but who knows...

Oh and of course there is the polygonal remake of Adventure of Link for SNES too (that one is actually known to exists).

Do as you wish. Whatever I upload can be freely used.

For the complete page scan, I would need to search if I still have that issue and I doubt I've time in these days.
However if I remember right, that was just a single line in the "rumor section" at the end of the magazine.

 

HELLO

yes thanks I begin to change my page i put your complet scan page when you found some time to do it

 

I'm not fond of Legend, it was so slow I've never finished the game. I know it had positive reviews in french magazines but I haven't seen any sales figures.
I don't know what arcade zone was thinking at the time : making a (sort of) sequel for a brawler, on Jaguar, in 1995? Seriously guys?


Celine > I wonder if Nintendo included any parts of this prototype in Pilotwings 64. Maybe it was just a technical demo developed in order to experiment the concept of a 3D Pilotwings game.

 

Not suprising at all.
Brawler was their genre and Atari picked up many small and cheap french (and european) developers to support the Jaguar.
For example Virtual Xperience, Hyper Image and Fight for Life's single programmer Francois Bertrand.
As I said that was due to the fact they were cheap and also because the strong ties developed with the Atari ST.

Probably the concept, development then went to a specialist in flight simulation like Paradigm.

 

Hello

With your help i change a little my présentation of rumor and Hard project on neogeo here

http://neogeocdworld.info/html/dossiers/protos.htm

All the game proto are listed in the data base: neo geo cd Base
http://neogeocdworld.info/

 

From an old videogame magazine, an article on EJ3D showing various development's screenshots. some if not all of them can't be found in the final game.

 

does anyone if that game exists on the PS1 ? it is named XI developped by In-house, published by SCEI; despite a quick search on google I cant find any infos:

 

Released under a different name outside of Japan (where it was called Xi) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_Dice

 

I cannot find it anymore but a member of Mod The Sims 2.com had a beta of this, but he said he was not going to leak it. He apparently was an ex maxis employee.

 

I was digging into some old mags during the past week and found some interesting things. First, Game Gear:


A few unreleased games (EGM 40 - November 1992)

David Robinson's Basketball
Gadget Twins
Populous
Robin Hood
Shadow of the Beast




Eternal Champions (EGM 53 - December 1993)

It could be Chicago Syndicate (which was released in 1995 though)




Phantasy Star Gaiden - beta (EGM 38 - September 1992)





I was suprised to find only 3 pictures of this version after looking at a dozen of websites, so here are a few other screenshots of the Sonic 2 beta
(Joypad 12 - september 1992 + EGM 38 - September 1992)








____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________




32X


Boogerman - unreleased (EGM 65 - dec 1994)





NHL - unreleased (EGM 65 - dec 1994)

Since there's a FIFA game on this machine, it would not be surprising EA also planned to make an NHL game for the 32X.




Striker - unreleased (EGM 70 - May 1995)

Maybe a port of the Mega Drive game. It seems this game is not related to Pro Striker 95 (another unreleased 32X game which looks a lot like J League pro striker final stage on Mega Drive)

Super Stealth
Peacock King 3 is a mistake. It's Kujaku Ō 2, also known as Mystic Defender.
