While looking for unreleased games in old EGMs, I did come across some interesting beta shots of released games.

August 1994 EGM.
Turns out this game was released as Hashiriya Tamashii - Rider's Spirits. My experience with it was kinda crappy, but I did notice differeneces. The released seems to lack the position number in the corner of the screen, instead using an icon in the status bar in the middle of the screen. It seems to have also reversed the screens, so the play window is the bottom. I can't access the track view, either. Select just turns the rear-view between mirror and full-frame.

From June 1994 (the game was released 2/25/95). Battles are narrated.

From the same EGM as above.
Preview of Kirby's Dream Course / Kirby Bowl. It was called Kirby's Tee Shot at the time, although Kirby's Battleball apparently was a considered title. Different HUD, beta title screen is what I immediately noticed.

Extremely minor thing, but I noticed the Buster Busts Loose manual has some screenshots of the football level where the HUD says "BOLL ON xx YDS". Interesting, as it was corrected even in the released Japanese version.

(actually, this topic probably should be moved to the released games section)
