    Default Willow (NES) = Black Tiger (NES)?

    I am wondering now if the canceled Black Tiger port for the NES was ultimately re-developed into Willow, as both NES versions of the two Capcom arcade ports were restyled as Zelda-like RPG games?

    Default Black Tiger was going to be a RPG?

    I didn't know that it was going to be a RPG. I know there some pictures that claim to be the NES beta. I also thought that the NES games might have been retooled as street fighter 2010.

    I've never seen nor heard anything to support that. I don't believe that Willow was even a vague attempt at re-imagining the arcade Willow, and Black Tiger in screens has always appeared to retain its platformer roots. So, to the best of my knowledge and conjecture, I'd say there isn't even the most vague reason to think so.

    I dunno where you got that but it doesn't make any logical sense Black Tiger was an original arcade platform game by Capcom porting it and making it a completely different genre would be pointless, it'd be like konami porting gradius to the nes as a platformer. Willow clearly wasn't a port it was most likely an original game hacked to fit the license because that was a lot easier than attempting to port the arcade game as it was being developed.

    The nes Willow's a pretty good game for what it is but I would've much rather had a decent Black Tiger console port.

    Default NES Capcom Black Tiger

    I have heard the rumors & can see the similarities of the Black Tiger Proto having been reworked into Street Fighter 2010. But regardless of wether it was, the original unmodified Proto of Black Tiger would be what we're all after here.

    Truthfully, it isn't a wild & crazy dream. Rather in fact this one eventually turning up is quite possible. After all, not only did California Raisins surface, but so did Neo Vulgus (Titan Warriors).
    seventeen thousand, these guys must really be desperate!
