Kunio-kun: The Claw of Kowloon is a cancelled sidescrolling beat ‘em up game in the famous Kunio-Kun series, that was in development by Technos Japan for the Playstation. The project was probably still in early concept phase before being canned, but from what we can see in the images below, they planned to make the characters more “realistic” than the usual super-deformer style of the previous Kunio-kun titles.
A big thanks to Johnny Undaunted for the contribution and translation from japanese.

This game seems more like a street fighter-type Fighting game than a beat ‘em up.
Interesting detail is the cameo of Jimmy and Billy Lee.
