Various unreleased and beta games

Abe's Oddysee was supposed to be on Sega Saturn.

 

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!

 

Some stuff from my twitter account:

FX Fighter for SNES - cancelled (Famitsu 318).


Fang of Alnam was a RPG for SNES by Right Stuff which was cancelled (Famitsu 363). More info: http://goo.gl/SouEWp


Cooly Skunk for SNES (Famitsu 351) was eventually moved to PS1 (it's known as Punk Skunk outside Japan).

More Cooly Skunk for SNES (Famitsu 363).


Twinbee (Miracle) RPG which Konami eventually cancelled (Famitsu 350).


Ah when Nintendo 64 was known as Ultra 64 and software wasn't ready at all (Famitsu 338).


The never released F1 game by Nintendo for Virtual Boy (Famitsu 323).

 

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".

 

Yes, that's what I think happened.

 

A few more unreleased games from my twitter account (for Game Boy):

Rainbow Chips is a cancelled title for Game Boy by Kaneko (Game Boy Magazine vol. 6):


Heart & Heart cancelled Game Boy title by M&M (Game Boy Magazine vol. 11):


Magical Saurus is a cancelled game by Natsume for Game Boy (Famitsu 1990 vol. 14):


Emo-yan by Hect for game Boy (Famitsu 1990 vol. 14):


Gathers (?) is a cancelled action puzzle game by Vic Tokai for Game Boy (Game Boy magazine vol. 1 and 2):


Death Ball is a cancelled puzzle game for game Boy by Kemco (Famitsu vol. 19):


Metro Panic is a cancelled RPG for Game Boy by Nichibutsu (Famitsu 92/09/18):


Keith is a cancelled action RPG for Game Boy by Sony:


Trickle is a cancelled game for Game Boy by Metemu (?). Game Boy magazine vol. 6:

 

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.

 

There's a video of game footage here, no idea if it's definitely the SNES version though:

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

 

Should be the SNES version (that's my YT account).
