I always ALWAYS wanted to buy this robot. I actually sent them two real letters asking where I can buy it, as it looks like the old Macross toys that were actually good. What I found out it was actually a giant resin model and custom,not to buy.

However you can a physical SWITCH copy and it'll come with a little figure, not an action figure looking guy like this.

>issues 22 and 23
Alright, here we go. Got a bunch of announced but unreleased games in these two. Lemme get my notes ready.

These stories of desperation are remarkable. That kid called 24 people for Mario 2! Supposedly.

I would like a closer look at that giant Game Boy. It looks pretty awesome. How much help did she have with it? Probably a pretty huge amount I guess. I remember being bothered when seeing this image as a kid, by the size of the A and B buttons. What were they thinking??? If the face of the thing is fully 3D, then maybe the people just weren't able to come up with round red objects that were nicer-looking than the peanut butter lids or whatever those are that they'd found? But why wouldn't you just stack up a few circular pieces of cardboard and paint them red, or something... I can't understand it.

The fuck is with these weapons? Rock N Roll is carrying a scoped minigun which is one handed only for some fucking reason, and Grid Iron looks to be carrying a scoped uzi with three rockets attached to the muzzle, with handlebars. Handlebars.

That James Wong kid is a total boss.

And here goes the bragging contest.
>I beat Ironsword!
>I beat Little Nemo in 3 and a half hours!
>Yeah? I beat both NG games in 2 hours.
>I beat Athena. With just two lives.
>Bullshit Brian, no one can do that.
>Go back to listening to rap Eli you wigger.

Issue #23

4chan doesn't like that they started with the same ad so I skip it.

Alright, here's the rundown for Issue 22.

Ufouria AKA Hebereke - Sunsoft
Known for being the game that got ported to every region BUT the US. You can play the PAL versions in english, or use a fan translation for the JP original. I have no idea why the US port was cancelled at the last minute, but probably because the SNES was on the way.

Daemon's Quest - Nexoft
Mentioned to be a UK title(computer game maybe?), but I can't find any information about this at all. Never heard from again.

Twin Peaks - Hi-Tech Expressions
Was supposed to be an RPG with multiple endings based off the second season of the TV show. Not so much as a screenshot has surfaced, odds are it didn't get far before getting cancelled.

Coco Run AKA Cocoron - K2
Was probably misheard by the NP staff, as no game called Coco Run ever existed, but Cocoron is very real. Fan translation exists.
https://www.romhacking.net/translations/104/

The Count's Counting Game - GameTek probably
Mentioned as another Sesame Street licensed edutainment game on the way, but it never got far. Was supposed to use voice samples like that Super Password game that never made it.

This is long after GI Joe stopped pretending to be realistic tactical military action.

>>8108139
It's crazy to think those three "Street Fighter" characters would all appear together in SFV, along with that stage. Try telling that to someone in 1990 and they'd think you're nuts.

So did OP have a flashback from the mention of Desert Storm and is now barricaded in his bathroom with a shotgun?

>>8108139
Wow, the SNES Bombuzal port look like that? It's completely different from the original.

>>8108363
I don't get why they're calling it Street Fighter here, I know the working title was Street Fighter '89, but the game had been called Final Fight for over a year at this point.

>wasting time posting nintendo power on /vr/ when they're all available on archive.org
why

Feel asleep waiting for my power to come back on, my bad.

More later.

Alright, time for the unreleased but announced stuff.

Power Punch AKA Power Punch 2 AKA Mike Tyson's Intergalatic Power Punch - Beam Software

Originally this was supposed to be Mike Tyson's second NES game after the license expired on Punch-Out!!!, forcing Nintendo to modify the game to remove Mike.(Not because he bit that guy's ear off as people think) Both Mike and Nintendo wanted to do another game together, and this was what is was going to be. Mike Tyson fighting aliens. A few months after this game was announced, Mike got arrested and went to prison for rape. Nintendo promptly dropped the game and told Beam they were on their own. Beam shopped around, and found a company willing to publish the game, as long as they removed Mike. So the modified the game as little as possible(still looks like Mike, named Mark Tyler), renamed it Power Punch 2, and released it. A prototype of the original version with Mike was found and dumped.

Vanilla Ice - THQ

THQ bought the rights to do a Vanilla Ice videogame. That seems to be as far as this thing went. No other info exists.

The Flash - THQ

Originally announced for the NES, but never appeared. THQ did end up making a Flash videogame for the Game Boy, which sucked ass.

Continued in next post.

Unknown Golgo 13 game - Vic Tokai

So they mention a 3rd Golgo 13 game here, but there's just one problem. There never was a 3rd. What is likely, is they saw the cover for the Magic Thief Sugar manga the game was going to be based off of, and figured it was Golgo 13 because of how similar the MC looks. Google 怪盗シュガー to see for yourself how similar they look. Magic Thief Sugar was a manga by the same mangaka as Golgo 13, popular for a brief time in the 70's in Japan. It was long out of print by the time Vic Tokai decided to make a game out of it, and never made it to the US ever. So it's understandable how the confusion happened. The game was going to be released in both Japan and the US, but neither one was actually released in the end. The prototype of the US version was found and dumped, the JP prototype has yet to surface.

>Billy and Jimmy

Don't they proofread this for typos?
