I recentley picked up 3 super famicom prototypes:

3x3 Eyes 70%
Emerald Dragon ?
VW Verusuwerudo 75% (Versus World maybe)

All three are Banpresto games. The third one I am not sure was ever released. My translation of the name may be wrong though. But I can find no information about it online.

The 3x3 eyes cart will not fit in a Standard Super Famicom system. The eprom chips make it too fat.

All 3 are tested and working but have neat errors like "sound 003" popping up on screen when you do an action.

2 of the games even came with the game board schematics in Japanese.

Any Idea what they may be worth?

Nothing, I'll take them off your hands for $10, though :)

It's hard to say, value of protos varies. The unreleased game would probably be worth a couple hundred if it really is unreleased. Any chance of dumping those?

Any chance you can provide scans of the board schematics from the two that had it?

Scans I can do.
Dumps I can not.

Give me a minute on those scans.
As for the offer of $10

The "Versus World" game is Verne World, and it came out in 1995.

I'm interested in that Emerald Dragon proto. What makes you think that it's a Banpresto game? The Super Famicom port was released by Media Works, and Banpresto was never really connected to any other versions. The blue label on the board even says "Media Works" in katakana.

Emerald Dragon has a small but fairly devoted following. Even though the SFC version is regarded as inferior by some fans, they'd probably still pay a decent amount for a proto, especially if there's some obvious difference between it and the released version. You should find two crazed "Emedora" fans and start a bidding war.

There's more Emerald Dragon info here:

Im sorry you are right. I got so caught up in figuring out what the 3rd game was and that I got them all from the same guy I just assumed Emerald Dragon was Banpresto as well and never played close attention. Gomen ne.

Here are those scans.
I left them HUGE for easy reading.
