With the success of Donkey Kong Country, Nintendo gave Rare the thumbs up for a sequel on the Virtual Boy. This happened just after the launch of the VB and was only at the drawing boards and in developement for a matter of weeks but it was cancelled due to the obvious failure of the Virtual boy itself. At the end of 1995, a sequel of the original game was released as “Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest” on the SNES.
In 1995, British developer Team17 got to work on a version of the game ‘Worms’ for the Virtual Boy. Little is known about the game other than it was a planned remake of “Worms” with no known differences over the original. The game was cancelled after only few weeks of it in production, probably due to the cancellation of the Virtual Boy release in Europe. There are no screens from the Virtual Boy version and it’s unknow if there even was a playable build.
Before being a N64 game, Clayfighter 63 1/3 was planned to be released for the Panasonic M2. In this video we can see and old version of the game, with a different HUD and maybe a couple of different stages (i’m not sure, i played the final game many years ago..). This could even be a movie from the cancelled M2 version, but it’s hard to tell. If you see some more differences, let us know! :)
Hudson revealed at the Winter CES in 1992 that they had bought the license to develop an Inspector Gadget game for the Nintendo. There was no work in progress to be seen at the show, and the game never made it into production. There was firstly a rumour of legal issues about the license to ‘inspector gadget’ but it would appear it was simply because Hudson thought it would be a waste of time and money to make the game, since the e SNES was soon to be available worldwide.
Howdy folks. I just finished up Part 2 of the Spiderman 3 Debug feature over at Past to Present Online. I won’t spoil a lot, but I will say this: This game has one of the most feature filled debug menus Ive ever had a chance to play with. So head on over and check out the video and screens, and keep on seeing the unseen! Link: ptoponline.com
