NES protos in the DP guide

[AWinnerIsYou]

I have a game to take out of the rumor mill and one to add in. I recently obtained a prototype copy of Stakk'm I can provide pictures of if needed. The game I'd like to add is Spy vs. Spy 2: The Island Caper. I have an old Game Player's Encyclopedia of Nintendo Games that has a two-page review of this game with screens. I can also provide pictures of this if you need it.

If I could simply take out any entry in the rumor mill that I know existed at one time or another, half of it would be gone.

No, in order to do that, we have to have solid evidence that someone physically owns the game right now. A years-old magazine scan is not proof, I have tons of those.

Stakk'm's been added, but thanks nonetheless!

You're referring to Spy vs. Spy 2, right? Because I definitely own a Stakk'm prototype cartridge.

[TheRedEye]

Yes, I'm referring to Spy vs. Spy 2. Congrats on the Stakk'm proto.

Okay, just making sure. Now that I think of it, Spy vs. Spy 2 WAS released in Japan, so the screens in my old book could even be from the Jap version. Is it still worth an add?

It's in the rumor mill, buddy, which is where it stays until someone physically finds an American copy. That's how the guide works.

And there WAS an American version in development, as seen here:

Yes, we're aware that there was an American version planned. Yes, we're aware that, at least at one point, code for an American version existed. No, nobody we know of, at this time, has said code. Therefore it's not in the guide. Capiche?

Gotcha.
