Wild 9 (known as Wildroid 9 in Japan) is a video game developed by Shiny Entertainment for the Sony PlayStation, with a Sega Saturn version also planned but never released. Its gameplay is that of a 2D platformer, with occasional breaks in 3D dimension. [Info From Wikipedia]
Misterite has an interesting Wild 9 video on his Youtube Channel that shows an early build of the game, with unfinished levels and probabbly some other differences that i could not find.. but thanks to the help of Silverduran we have more informations: there’s a ton of things that had been changed from the final version, like Wex’s character model is much bigger and looks different, the Jet Cycle ended up being red, the guy ((Nitro)) that Wex picks up ended up being MUCH bigger, and 98% of the level designs shown in this video were never used.. but the animations were tho.
In the gallery below you can see many screenshots from a beta version 50% complete, if you can notice more differences in these images please let us know!
Thanks a lot to Silverduran for the contribution!

Dave Perry was reported to have said the Saturn version had been put on hold, while Shiny talked to Sony about getting some form of exclusitivity deal in place.Dave claimed Saturn version was 100% RISC code (and thus it ‘smoked’) and was to feature never seen before special effects.
Forward over some press coverage that will add to this entry.

Game started life as Wild Fight it seems.
