I always wondered what happened to that stuff when the final game came out. Frankly, I like the overworld of the one pictured there. For years I actually thought that was what the Japanese version looked like.

wow that overworld looks AMAZING.

Lambo64 was actually a suprisingly decent game (on the N64 at least, where there were like ZERO good auto racing games)

This reminds me, I swear I remember playing a version of SMB3 on these demo stations in the middle of the Kent mall in Washington state that had different levels from the the final game. When Lost Levels was announced I was excited cause I thought it was the lost levels from SMB3, but obviously it wasn't. I seem to also remember maps for levels in Nintendo Power that I don't recall ever playing in SMB3.

Am I just delusional?

OH CRAP!!! That looks nice. What machine was it running on? Was it real-time? Can somebody here find someway to host the video of these pictures?

it was a concept video of the direction they were thinking. not realtime, not even game engine.

Yup, even the short Chinese voice acting wasn't real Chinese apparantly, just some mumbling.

Interesting to note that the logo from that concept trailer (July 2003) seems to be about the same as they have now.

The trailer was once hosted a seperate Just Add Monsters page, but that's offline now. One of the developer considers to put all the early stuff online one day though.

I remember that a lot of screens of scenes they originally used to show off Shenmue ended up being in the sequel instead i.e. all the screens with the Ren guy (or whatever his name was).

I'm sure alot of people remember when these screens came out, Top Gear Rally

Hell yea I remember those, I think of those everytime I play GT3. In the mags, when some of those were sharper, they reallyed looked nice. The real game looked nothing like it... but when I first played GT3, I was thinking some of the rally tracks finally looked as good as those Top gear renders.

LOL, I remember those shots. I don't know what Sega was thinking at the time to make the 3rd installment of House of the Dead cellshaded. Glad they changed it for the final game (but they gave the characters huge hands :-/).

Video Downloader will get you the FLV file, then search google for an FLV player of some sort.

I love anything to do with the M2. It is like the perfect example of a hardware that at the time was like Star Trek powerful, but now looks dated beyond imagination.

neopokekun · Jul 18, 2006

From this page, has several scans from early Famitsu issues.

Megaman 3

Ooh... look at those planets! Of course, this is Gemini Man's stage. The planets were taken out of the level design, but their character tiles are still in the CHR ROM of the final release of the game, and the palette still cycles as though they were there, glowing. Some of the planet CHR tiles were taken out as they needed space for the robotic penguins

The robotic snake is more metallic here, as opposed to the scaly one in the final. The floor doesn't seem to move yet.

Topman's stage with a different background.

Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts

Blue vase.

Super Castlevania IV

The map screen wasn't filled in like that in the final release.

Equinox

Very different main character.
