Snes Unreleased List

[badinsults]

I have dug through some old Usenet snes lists, and I have compiled a listing of Unreleased games. I believe there is twice as many as the last time I updated the list.

[gamergary]

That great battle box looks like great battle 5 but since I dont' have the rom on this computer I can't verify that. 5 has the Gundam,Ultraman and that bug looking guy so it is probably Great Battle 5.

I heard a rumour about final Fantasy 6 Part 2 for the Snes.

It's the same thing about FF Extreme?

Hopefully this list will help you out...

I'm thinking all of those games that were released on the NES were put on there by mistake. I will likely remove them.

i would have loved that bobby's world *sigh*

I passed it in 45 minutes using an emulator. Far too easy (except for the cheap death part which I took a screenshot of).

[badinsults]

I updated it with your info.

[Buyatari]

Add Shadowhawk to your list

[MattyXB]

Do you list only games, which was announced? Or all, which too not released in USA but released in Japan?

If all, which not released in USA, then you can add many great Adventures and RPG's, which are released in Japan only. Like:


Lady Stalker (Taito Corporation)
Magic Knight Rayearth
Paladin's Quest 2 (Enix America, Inc.)
Record of Lodoss War - Lodoss Tou Senki
Romancing Sa-Ga (Square Enix)
Romancing Sa-Ga 2 (Square Enix)
Romancing Sa-Ga 3 (Square Enix)
Rudora No Hihou (Square Enix)
Seiken Densetsu 3 (Square Enix)
Slayers (Banpresto)
Star Ocean (Enix America, Inc.)
Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss (Bullet Proof Software)
Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss - Limited Edition (Bullet Proof Software)
Tales of Phantasia (Namco)
Treasure Hunter G (Square Enix)

and maybe much much more which are only released in Japan.

[badinsults]

This list includes only games that were planned for a release in a region, but were not released. The games you mentioned were never announced to be released outside of Japan (as far as I know).

I'll add Shadowhawk in my next update.

i'm pretty sure that road runner 2 was being made by sunsoft. i got the rom from a sunsoft employee.

[Ruudos]

I remember having that ROM. Didn't you play a Wile E. Coyote this time?
I don't have it anymore though.

[hydr0x]

ehm i'm pretty sure road runner 2 wasn't officially released, perhaps in australia, but i've never seen an US or european version

your list is missing Seiken Densetsu 3 / Secret of Mana 2 though as this was planned and in work for the us/european market, could also be true for Star Ocean, i'm not sure about that one, you should go to the dejap.com forum @zsnes.com as most members there are very familiar with anything about rpg translations

[badinsults]

Hmm, I thought I had put down SoM 2...

Anyways, Star Ocean was not officially announced, as it was released near the end of the life of the Snes, and Enix was all but dead in the US at that point. And I am a moderator at the Dejap board. :p

i'm 100% sure it was never released in the US.

you are?? i was active at the old zsnes board, but that's a long time ago :) that was in the time when i did not yet collect but just emulate :embarrassed:

Final Fantasy Extreme was supposed to be Final Fantasy 5. Actually, they were going to release this even after Final Fantasy 3 came out, they were delaying it all through 1995 before it eventually got cancelled.

I also read in an interview with Ted Woolsey once that they were considering bring Romancing SaGa 3 here as Final Fantasy 4.

I've never heard of Final Fantasy 6 Part 2, maybe wherever you read this was thinking of the Silicon Graphics Whatever Demo Square made to show off the next generation graphics back around when Nintendo 64 was released. I've also seen this confused as being Final Fantasy 64.

By the way, Lufia is Estopolis, not Elfaria, which is a completely different series of games.

I figured I would bump my original thread here. Spurred by some talk of unreleased games with hydr0x, I felt compelled to getting all the unreleased games information that I currently have on my website. As such, I have created a thread on my forum (see my signature) where more discussion can happen. Or you can just post here. There has been a couple of high profile games released in the past few years (notably Star Fox 2 and Congo), and if more information is dug up, perhaps we can find more.

[hydr0x]

i will try to get those screenshots and stuff i have lying around scanned for your site evan

have you ever considered doing the rumor mill / proto part of the SNES list for DP, you have the best knowledge of that stuff, i know it because i had to use information from your site for it in the past LOL

[badinsults]

I have begun sorting through the old Nintendo Power magazine scans I have, and updating the unreleased section as I go along. So far, I have about 15 new entries on my list. As always, anyone who has some screenshots and referenceable info of unreleased games, I would be most apreciatiative.
