Beta + Cancelled SNES + Super Famicom Video Games - Page 32 of 33

Power Slide is a cancelled game for the SNES and 3DO that had an “amazing” graphic for its time. The Super Nintendo version was going to be one of the few games to make use of the FX chip. It was being developed by Elite. Another racing game by the name Powerslide was eventually released for PC but it doesn’t seem to be connected to this game in any way.

The car handling physics in Powerslide were very advanced for the time, as were the visuals. Frame rate was less impressive unfortunately.

A playable demo of Powerslide SNES does exist and it was leaked thanks to Eludevisibility! The in-game screens dont look anywhere as nice as the original tech demo tough. The game would have probably been like Dirt Racer, the other SNES racing game by Elite, released in 1994.

Powerslide was basically a rally game, with real rally cars, Dirt Racer was a more arcade style game. The 3DO and PC versions of Powerslide were being developed by Maelstrom Games for Elite.

Rap Basketball is a cancelled sport game that was in development by Motown Records for the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Thanks to D we have some more info that can be preserved about this unreleased game:

In 1994, Motown Records had wanted to enter into the video game industry, because Virgin was doing well.
Their first product was going to be called “Rap Basketball” and was said to actually have ‘Snoop Dog’ signed among other Rap artists. In January 1995, I was the sole artist assigned to the project at the time, and went out to research graffiti walls in order to paint cool backgrounds for SNES/SEGA ports using Deluxe Paint II, Deluxe Animation II, and Tume. Here are two actual screenshots day and night of the basketball court (missing the ‘boom-box’ and ‘player-characters’) I think it would have been a really fun game, too bad Motown decided against entering the video game business a few months later.

Megaman 7 (Rockman) [SNES – Beta]

Rock Man – Mega Man 7 was the third Mega Man game released on the Super Nintendo, and the first Original series game to be released on the system. The beta version shows that beyond a few graphical changes, little actually playing aspects were changed.

It known that similar to how the opening stage of Mega Man X had a collapsable ground, Mega Man 7 did as well. However, it was removed for unknown reasons.

Much of the opening stage’s background and ground itself was different in the beta. The skyline of the city seems to have not be viewable in the background, and the ground was rather dull and brown. It should also be noted that the dialogue box was much like the X series’, though it was changed in the final version to the comic style dialogue bubble we’ve seen it as today.

The stage selection screen did not change as to regards of only four robot masters being available to be battled at first. However, the beta version did not actually show you whose stage you were going to. Perhaps the developers originally wanted you to be surprised by who were you going to battle with?

Thanks a lot to SNES Central for these images!
