Swat Katz (snes) was cancelled and no one noticed: Anonymous Mon Aug 6 11:57:32 2018 No.4957803 [Reply] [Original]

There's a snes Swat Katz game. Remember that 90's show? We know it exists, and it supposedly has a release date, and reviews. Problem is, there's no source or evidence it was ever released. All the source for release date goes back to the Japanese Wikipedia, and no gaming list ever lists the game.

So what likely happened is that review copies were sent out, it was reviewed, but the show was cancelled, and they pulled the game.

Famitsu only lists two games when it supposedly came out:
https://www.famitsu.com/schedule/calendar/sfc/1995/06/-/

Nintendo of America list of snes games doesn't list it:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080920223937/http://www.nintendo.com:80/consumer/gameslist/manuals/snes_games.pdf

What's interesting is that NO ONE HAS NOTICED THIS. Swat Katz is not on any list of cancelled SNES games. No source mentions it as being cancelled. The Fan Wikis all talk about it as if it was released.

The game must have leaked online at somepoint. But it was never noted as being unreleased, people just thought it was a regular game.
