Snes Central, along with Lost Levels is releasing a bunch of prototype snes roms in the coming weeks, and I figured people here might be interested. Included in this are some unreleased games.
I've already released a couple:
Rockman 7 (beta)

Untitled NFL Football game by Scuptured Software

Enjoy!

The placeholders on RM7 say "Under construction".
The dialigue between rockman and bass is indeed different. The final version seems more fitting for the scenario.
Sweet finds, Evan! I can't wait to see more!

unfinished snes games always make me wish it was economically viable for developers to develope for legacy hardware (on more than a one or two release per decade basis that is)

It'd probably be easier once there's some library code out there. All those old assembly language systems take a lot of code to do the simplest of tasks. Once you have some solid library code, multiple games would be easier to do.

Here is a game called Mr. Tuff:

I had to make a mirror site because my host is full. :p

Got my site on a new host, and I am releasing another prototype. This is a near complete version of Batman Returns:

It was found in a store in Japan by d4s. I got this prototype months ago, but with edgeemu dying, I could not release it until now.

Did a search and found this thread, thought I should post in it rather than starting a new one. I've got a number SNES prototype releases coming up, here are a couple I have already done:
Itadaki Street 2 (http://www.snescentral.com/review.php?id=1045&num=0&fancy=yes&article=proto)
Human Grand Prix II (http://www.snescentral.com/review.php?id=0158&num=0&fancy=yes&article=proto)

Wow, never heard of these Super Fire Pro Wrestling games, but I am amazed at the sheer number of characters in the game. 56 I think! And so many American wrestlers, did they pay a license I wonder?

I think that guy from the Legion of Doom was wrestling in Japan when this game came out.
... and that guy that Evan thinks was based on Randy Savage? His name says Flash Burton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting_%28wrestler%29). I wasn't sure of the spelling but that's how Burton is spelled in Katakana in a few names.
There's a bunch of profiles of wrestlers that appear in the game here (http://www.grospixels.com/site/firepro8.php).

If you're liking Fire Pro so much, they did release a pair of them for the GBA that made it over here which was kind of surprising back when they did. Perhaps you should look into those as I imagine they're going to be cheap.

Today, I am releasing a prototype of Dark Kingdom. It is a fairly obscure RPG that lets you play as the bad guy. The prototype is in a pretty limited state.

I'll make the changes to the Super Fire Pro Wrestling 3 article sometime in the future.

Yet another one, this time Hakunetsu Pro Yakyuu '94 - Ganba League 3. The first Ganba League game was released in North America as Extra Innings.

Pikiinya! (http://www.snescentral.com/review.php?id=1051&num=0&fancy=yes&article=proto)
A fun Tetris-style game. The prototype looks to be pretty close to final. Looks like the story mode is not complete, and some debugging stuff is enabled.

Looks really fun, too bad I can't read Japanese!

Love your website. I have spent a lot of time reading your reviews and stories.

The game itself doesn't really need comprehension of Japanese.

Right, while there is a ton of text in the game, nearly all of it is menu graphics for stuff like selecting a difficulty level and win/loss text. Only a few actual game menus that can probably be figured out pretty easy.
(I'd have made a translation patch but got bored with tediously editing lots of similar/identical menu graphics.)

Pikiinya would probably be one of the easiest to translate, because the graphics are completely uncompressed. Hell, I was almost thinking of doing it.
Anyways, another release. This is a prototype of Ganbare Goemon 3. It is a sample, so they programmed it so that you couldn't progress to the final boss. Pretty fun game, but very Japanese intensive.
