>both the dog and the furry who's been humping him are terrified of the Nintendrone
This artwork gets more and more concerning as it goes along.

>>8373951
It's actually the prequel to the first game.

Just so you know, saving and quitting ALttP also counts as a death.

>>8374052
The hidden door above the exit in the last stage will be used a LOT in future Kirby games. This is only the second time.

>>8374056
N64 is coming

>>8374070
But really because having just one Hot Head on screen taxes the console's sprite limit.

>>8374116
The eternal debate of this vs. the Genesis version rages on to this day.

>>8374128
Sailor Moon hadn't even gotten dubbed in the US. Imagine if a game had come stateside first.

Issue #55

>>8374248
And with this, we say "Good Riddance" to Nester's Adventures, though alas, he will pop up a few more times over the years.

>>8374323
>"Four White Mages?! It'll never work!"

More later.

They certainly are intent on drawing Secret of Mana dragons incorrectly.

Time for announced but unreleased games.

Fire Emblem AKA Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo - Intelligent Systems (SNES)
Third Fire Emblem game, and first SNES game in the series. Never mentioned as coming this way, just talked about in the Japan Watch section. A 99% fan translation exists. https://www.romhacking.net/translations/961/

Sailor Moon - Angel (SNES)
Beat-em-up based off of the anime/manga series. No translation is needed to play any beat-em-up, so have at it.

Kabuki Rocks - Atlus (SNES)
A kabuki-themed RPG with some strong japanese flavor. No fan translation has been made yet.

Sound Factory AKA Sound Fantasy - Nintendo (SNES)
A collection of four mini-games designed to use the SNES Mouse. Nintendo ended up giving it the axe instead of releasing it in the US and Japan as originally planned, and Maxis ended up buying the concept and turning into SimTunes. Two prototypes were found and dumped, one early in development, one late in development. Later prototype here: http://bsxproj.superfamicom.org/snes/sound.zip

Super Virtual Boxing AKA Onizuka Katsuya Super Virtual Boxing - Sofel (SNES)
Super Famicom boxing game, not really much to say. No fan translation exists, but is one really needed?

Cont. in next post.

>>8374475
>1000 Super NES Control Set with Super Mario All-Stars
So you only get the game and a controller?

>>8374534
NP won't even talk about Fire Emblem in detail until 1996.

>>8373871

I think they're just surprised to be encountering a hostile robot.

It's certainly insane though. They're only just arriving at high speed, I guess, and yet the fully human boy has somehow already connected to the roboboy with a link cable. Did they play on the Game Boy and then start running around while still linked? Or has this young warg rider been following the inexplicably lengthy link cable in an effort to discover what might be at the end of it, in some kind of Nintendo-themed fairy tale?

>>8374534
Nightmare AKA Atmosfear - Beam Software (SNES)
Based off some Australian board game as mentioned here, it was mostly completed before getting cancelled. Name was changed to Atmosfear since Nightmare was already taken in the EU. This mostly finished prototype was found and dumped from some loose EEPROM chips. https://hiddenpalace.org/w/images/e/e6/Atmosfear_%28Jul_12%2C_1994_prototype%29.zip

And that's all for this storytime. See you folks next thread.

>>8373862

There were really some morons out there who couldn't wrap their minds around untextured polygons.

>>8373864

It would have been pretty awesome to see your Mega Man idea transformed into a professionally drawn character who would soon appear in an actual game.

>>8374578
The thing that sucked is that the advert campaign for robot monster designs was worldwide, but in the end MM6 didn't release in Europe.

>>8373985
Never knew about this warp in LA, neat!! I wonder if it was fixed in later revisions?

>>8374289
didn't know about this Marin thing either

>>8374421
I had no idea Jurassic Park on NES was so successful. Top 10 two months in a row

>that Star Fox comic conclusion
Honestly, I'm not sure if it was going to get more insane had it gone on longer, or if it got that insane BECAUSE it was time to wrap it up.

>>8375703
The Zelda and Mario comics ran the whole year, so after Star Fox wrapped up the game novelization in five months, they needed to keep it going with original stories.

Looking back (and a bit ahead), it looked like NP was going to do the same with Super Metroid: five issues to recap the game, then all-new stories for the rest of the year (hence Ridley's "tactical retreat" so he could remain an antagonist for what would come next). However, it was decided to end the comics altogether in 1994 and so SM concluded with a whimper instead of the bang that was Star Fox.

>>8374525
Looking back on it, I get the impression that back in the day the magazine staff had almost no contact with the actual publishers so half the time they had to work with whatever was public knowledge at the time of the magazine's printing. The earliest Nintendo Power covers were all weird clay models and shit rather than official artwork even for Nintendo's own games.

>>8374545
Maybe it was so you could play 2-player.
IIRC, didn't the SNES come with just one controller?

>>8376265
I think All-Stars only needs one controller. Both players swap it on their turn.

>>8373867
>many modes of transportation, ranging from a spaceship

???

>>8373885
>There are many ways to complete the game, and no two are exactly alike.

???

>>8377163
I guess they are referring to the Mana Fortress? Maybe the sand cruiser?
A bizarre thing to include as "modes of transportation". I distinctly remember having this issue too, as it's what made me want SoM, but I don't remember that line. Seems like something that would've jumped out to me at the time.

>>8376302
The Mario Bros.-style mini game in 3 though.

>>8377223
Hardly a selling point compared to having four Mario games on one SNES.

>>8373897

They're so diligent in supplying ammo to console warriors who would like to contest the claim that the Genesis does sports better. Only in the context of SNES sports does Nintendo Power repeatedly count a console's inventory of games!

>>8374327
I actually begged my grandmother to take me to see this movie. She initially took me to see Free Willy instead and I recall getting so upset that I wanted to leave mid-movie. Boy, was I stupid.

Scott Engan sets off my gaydar.
