What happened to Inspector Gadget for the NES?

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.

Super Smash Bros Brawl: Beta Fighters

ENG: Through hacking Super Smash Bros Brawl, you can find some unused character-files. These could be either fighters or just models for other fighters. In the files you could find Mewtwo, Roy, Toon Zelda (which could turn into Tetra.) Dr. Mario, Dixie Kong and Pra & Mai (which many believe to be Plusle & Minun, two Pokemon from the third generation). Plusle & Minun are believed to have worked the same way as the Ice Climbers.

Sve: Genom att hacka Super Smash Bros Brawl, så kan du hitta några oanvända filer med karaktärer i dem. Dessa kunde vara riktiga karaktärer eller just modeller för andra karaktärer. I filerna kan man hitta Mewtwo, Roy, Toon Zelda (som kunde förvandlas till Toon Sheik, och likadant som Baby Daisy i Mario Kart Wii, hade aldrig varit i ett spel förut), Dr. Mario, Dixie Kong och Pra & Mai (som spekuleras ha varit Plusle & Minun, som är två Pokemons från tredje generationen). Plusle & Minun skulle ha funkat som Ice Climbers tror man.

ALSO!! it should be noted that in the beta version (as seen in certain files) brawl chars originally took battle damage, like swords breaking and clothes being torn, etc. etc. 

Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire: more beta infos

If you search in the codes of Ruby & Sapphire, you can find music from Generation 2 (Gold, Silver, Crystal). Known pieces include:

  • BGM from Route 38 & 39
  • BGM from Pokemon Communication Center
  • BGM from Generation 2 Saffron City
  • BGM from Crystal’s legendary beasts battles
  • Team Rocket’s Theme

Is unknown why these music tracks were put in it. Maybe it was for being able to go to Johto or even Kanto, or just stand-ins.

There was also two beta Pokemons: Shellos & Gastrodon. If you’ve played Pokemon Diamond/Pearl you sure know which these are, and they were actually going to be included in Ruby & Sapphire. Shellos & Gastrodon though were not supposed to look like they did in Diamond/Pearl. This how they were going to look like:
