We could have had a beautiful 2D island map.

The only good thing about the 3D maps is that they don't require loading times when switching around isles. That was probably the only reason why they went with the 3D maps. The 2D one require one screen to select your isle and then another one for a close-up of the isle in question, exactly like how DKC did.

pretty sure the 2D map was made to be temporary to begin with. They had to just get shit done to show at E3 –they already had the level engine done and some stages made - which option do you pick:
>Program a three-dimensional world map system + model said maps with vertex coloring, waterfall effects etc
>Slap a 2D image with Crash's face as an indicator just so people can play a few levels

The Japanese version Crash Bandicoot had Aku Aku explaining how the game works as well as proper voice acting for Crash. They also removed the password system in favor of a save function.

Common knowledge, but still a fun fact to keep this thread going. also the entire "Making Crash" section by Andy Gavin is quite the interesting read: http://all-things-andy-gavin.com/video-games/making-crash/

We could have gotten an official north american release of Super Butoden 2, Ban Dai's american branch was working on it, but since DBZ wasn't popular outside of niche anime circles and the original Dragon Ball didn't make the same success it made in pretty much every other region, they never released it.

Apparently the title was going to be changed to "Dragon Ball" simply, and some characters got different names.

Latin americans were fucking hyped since Dragon Ball was big there in the mid 90s, I believe the only screenshots of this unreleased american version of Super Butoden 2 that exist were from an issue from latin american Club Nintendo magazine.

Secret of Mana was originally supposed to be released on the SNES CD addon but since the CD addon never saw a light of day it was released on SNES instead and had content taken out of it. Or at least this is what I have heard.

Can anyone confirm this or tell what the cut content was?

Unreal was going to have a dragon as a boss. The sniper rifle was supposed to have a functioning scope and a 3 round burst alternate fire. There was also a 4-barreled shotgun that can be accessed with console commands. The stunner and impaler (staff that launches crystals) were in a removed tech demo as well.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 25 18:24:47 2015 No.2198658 >>2198652 Unreal's rifle had a bayonet that looked like that. I wonder if that was intended as a possible alt fire, or just a decoration.
