    Yes, that's true. There were many games that should have been on the Saturn but all ended up being Sony exclusives. Another massive one was Heart of Darkness which started off on the Saturn. Namco's Cybersled is another too.

    Both the executive producer and director of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee have been quoted as saying that a Saturn conversion wasn't just ever started, but that plans for such a thing were not even discussed internally at Oddworld Inhabitants - any rumours about this one were simply the result of over-enthusiastic journalists caught up in wishful thinking (probably based on it seeming an obvious choice because of the platform's 2D capabilities). Now, those other titles mentioned recently like Heart Of Darkness and Cyber Sled, on the other hand... they were DEFINITELY in production for Sega's console!

    Good stuff. Knowing that Cool Skunk was originally a SFC game explains why it looks so basic on the PSX.

    Fang of Alnam for snes might have moved to the ps1 as "Alnam no Kiba - Fang Of Alnam". There seems to be a sequel/prequel as well called "Alnam no Tsubasa - Wing Of Alnam".

    Just a guess, but the game looks similar to the Godzilla title that was released around the time this was due to be released (Dec 1990). Maybe Natsume wanted to avoid releasing something that looks like a copy?

    I think it would be better to think of the opposite instead. Before they we're able to release Magical Saurus, they got the Godzilla license and turned it into a "Godzilla" game per se.

    Fang of Alnam did come out for the PC Engine CD, I have it, but really haven't played it much(like most of my Jp RPG's). Wings of Alnum is the direct sequal as far as I've ever known.

    That could be. As the PC version of FX Fighter has much high polygon counts.
