Flying (Sora Tobu) Henry [Virtual Boy – Cancelled]

Flying Henry (Sora Tobu Henry /  空とぶヘンリー) is a cancelled action game / on-rails shooter that was in development around 19941995 by Human Entertainment, planned to be released on Nintendo Virtual Boy. Gameplay could have been similar to Kirby + Star Fox, with a quirky flying protagonist exploring side-scrolling levels and flying on-rails sections. While the game is quite obscure it was shown at the time on Japanese magazines and VB fans translated the available details:

“It’s an action game of the hero Henry, a fluffy, floating, downright strange creature! Strive to clear each stage as you go around collecting items and defeating enemies, such as small devils, by crushing them underfoot or blasting them away. Fly around freely in a field with depth!”

Meiyaku no Teigi [PC Engine – Cancelled]

Meiyaku no Teigi (盟約の定義, tr. “Definition of a Pledge”) is a cancelled RPG that was in development around 1991 – 1992 by Human Entertainment, planned to be published for the PC Engine. While in an old magazine ad it was labeled as “science fantasy”, from the look of its characters and settings it looked more like a traditional medieval-fantasy RPG.

Some more details were published in the “Human Club Vol. 8” promotional leaflet and PC Engine Fan Magazine, so if you can read Japanese and would like to translate a short list of its main features described in there, please leave a message below!

Chachamaru Boukenki 2 [NES – Cancelled]

Chachamaru Boukenki 2 is a cancelled RPG that was in development by Human Entertainment for Famicom/NES. The main character was modeled after a developer at Human that later would appear as referee in a Fire Pro Wrestling for Super Famicom. The bizzare fact about Chachamaru Boukenki 2 is that despite it was never released, the third episode that was planned for Game Boy was actually published. Below you can see what it said to be the only screenshot ever released.

Thanks to GaijinPunch for the help with the japanese language.
