Before being released on the Nintendo 64, Mission Impossible was in development for the Super Nintendo and Mega Drive / Genesis, but soon the 16 bit versions were cancelled, to shift resources to the Ultra 64 one. The game was going to be similar to Flashback by  Delphine Software, as a side-scrolling action game with puzzles and gun fights. Currently we dont know which studio was working on Mission Impossible 16 Bit, but it should have been published by Ocean, as the N64 version.

If you have more info or screens about this lost game, please let us know!

Longuist has linked us to an old music video by Mouse on Mars, that uses scenes from what it looks like a beta version of Silicon Valley, one of the most interesting Nintendo 64 games. The major differences in this video should be:

  • power gems & flowers look different
  • no hud
  • trees now have a texture?
  • unknow level the video starts with?
  • the “green” levels have now much more steel plates (remember: its a space station) (see level 7 for instance)
  • and… no juggling disco bear ^^

Maybe some of these look different just because of the video montage, but its definitely newer than the e3 1997 version. Can you find more differences in here?

Unfortunately nothing is known between the collaboration of the Band and DMA. (Rumor: MoM did the score of the game). Thanks a lot to Longuist for these informations!

Today Luc Bernard announced Eternity’s Child 2: Retro Child for Wiiware. This sequel won’t use the same engine we saw in the first episode (that will be published soon); instead, it will be like a GBA/SNES game, because it was planned to be realeased on Nintendo’s old handled console. Wiiware-World has a video of the cancelled GBA version.

Lord deathsaur has posted an interesting link in our forum, about an article at Mundo Rare with some informations on Conker’s Other Bad Day, the presumed sequel of the original platform/adventure with our lovely squirrel. Mundo Rare has asked to Chris Seavor (the RARE developer that switched Twelve Tales: Conker 64 into Conker’s Bad Fur Day) about Other Bad Day, and he replied that “We actually started on a direct sequel which was going to be called ‘Conker’s Other Bad Day‘ which dealt with Conker’s somewhat unsuccessful tenure as King. […]” but it seems that Microsoft was not interested in the game.. so the project was just stopped. Check the original story at Mundo Rare for more informations and thanks to Lord Deathsaur for the link!
