Jet Riders [GBA – Unreleased]

Il primo nome che viene mente guardando Jet Riders è Waverace. Dai colori ai personaggi, fino allo spirito stesso del gioco, lo stile tipicamente Nintendaro di Jet Riders colpisce senza ombra di dubbio! La modalità primcipale di gioco è la “Sfida”, in cui si sarebbero dovute fare delle gare, come un percorso a boe, completare una corsa a tempo stabilito, ecc. Così facendo si sarebbero ottenute delle stelle, che vi sarebbero servite per sbloccare nuove sfide, gare, mezzi e guidatori.

Il gioco secondo alcune recensioni avrebbe dovuto riscuotere un grandissimo successo, ma non ha mai visto la luce. I Jet erano maneggevoli e presentavano la caratteristica di poter spruzzare acqua per esempio per abbattere castelli di sabbia o pupazzi di neve. Un’interessante caratteristica era la modalità multiplayer.

Resident Evil [GameBoy – Cancelled]

re1gbclogo.jpg

Resident evil is a survival horror created by Capcom and released for Playstation and Saturn in 1996. A porting of the game for Gameboy Color, developed by Hotgen, was supposed to be released within 1999 in a 4mb cartridge, but eventually Capcom decided to shelve it even if it was almost completed. A preview at ign.com mentioned the presence of new enemies and a quick-save feature.

In February 2012, thanks to a fundrising organized by Assembler forum, two different beta builds of Resident Evil GBC were released to the community. Every room, almost all the items and the cutscenes from the Psx version are present in this porting, but, apart from the zombies, every other enemy is either absent or still not animated. We can only use the handgun, the knife and the shotgun. By changing your location with the emulator it’s possible to get to the eliport, but there is neither a final boss or an ending sequence. In the second build we can play only with Chris and inventory chests don’t work anymore , but this beta seems to be more polished overall.

Interestingly, the build documented in the ign preview seems to be yet another pre-release version of RE GBC, showing brown zombies and a few little changes in the backgrounds.

In the official topic at Assembler Forum you can find more info about this great release!

Legend of Starfy – Densetsu No Stafy[GBC – Cancelled]

legendofstafylogo.jpg

A cancelled Game Boy Color prototype of the first Densetsu no Stafy title. It was cancelled due to the release of the Game Boy Advance. Densetsu no Stafy (Densetsu no Sutafī – “Legendary Stafy”) is a video game series developed by TOSE and published by Nintendo. The genre of the series is a special kind of platform game called “marine platform”, due to the game being more about swimming than running and jumping around. The series is the only franchise that TOSE owns the copyright for, although Nintendo owns the copyright as well. It was released in 2002 with Densetsu no Stafy for the Game Boy Advance, and was then followed up by three sequels: Densetsu no Stafy 2 for GBA in 2003, Densetsu no Stafy 3 for GBA in 2004 and Densetsu no Stafy 4 for Nintendo DS in 2006. – [info from Wikipedia]

You can find more info on the GBC version in the Starfy Wiki!
