Capcom Titles That Could Have Had an NES Release...

[ColecoFan1981]

I don't like to be negative and discourage conversation, but I'm confused by this topic. Final Fight was turned into mighty Final Fight. Mercs and Ghouls 'n Ghosts couldn't come out due to publishing agreements (and would have sucked anyway, especially Mercs). SideArms, which is not related to UN Squadron at all (that game is based on the manga Area 88), but has some commonalities with Section Z, was owned publishing wise by NEC Avenue/Hudson, as was Street Fighter, so Street Fighter got a re-imagining as a spinoff in Street Fighter 2010... they just couldn't happen.

SEGA also secured the home console rights to Forgotten Worlds. They also managed to self-publish Strider for the Genesis and Master System as well (which Capcom already released itself for the NES in 1989), but those came after Nintendo was forced to step back on their restrictions.
