New Cancelled Games & Their Lost Media Added to the Archive

Our reader Drake Lake has made us notice that in the ATMachine website (a page that we have seen for the various beta Monkey Island / LucasArts adventures) there are even lots of informations about removed scenes and beta stuff from Jedi Knight, a first person shooter released in 1997 by LucasArts. In those screens we can see different cutscenes and different and removed weapons. You can check the original page for more informations and images. It even seems that in the beta versione there were a ride-able enemy creature, ‘tusken’ raiders on a sort of hovering motorcycle vehicle, and a supposedly planned ‘racing’ level which took place after Kyle Katarn escaped his father’s home/sewer system, but they are not yet confirmed as removed content.

Thanks to Drake Lake for the link and props to ATMachine for his archive!

Dual Heroes is a fighting game for the Nintendo 64, released in 1998 (1997 in Japan) and often mocked and criticised for being one of the worst games ever made. The HUD in the game went through some changes in the development, and looking at the old screens, we can notice at least 3 different styles of energy bars. In particular,the borders were different and there were some portraits for the characters on the sides of the screen.

Pit Fighter 2 is the cancelled sequel to the “cult classic” arcade fighting game. Check the screenshots below for more info!

The bad arcade fighter is now badder than ever. You’ll use all you’ve got to pulverize the challengers and become the Grand Champion. Live-action video graphics and unique characters with signature moves bring the bone-crushing action to life. (Available October)

Thanks to a post in our forum, Granville has made us notice about a couple of interesting differences between an early build of Kirby Super Star Ultra and the final version of the game. In the first comparison, the ground is a lot different. It’s blue and very rocky-looking in the early footage, but grassy in the final build.

Thanks to Granville for the contribution!
