Kemco's Video Kid ( with the EGM scan from ReyVGM ).
http://www.unseen64.net/2010/05/26/video-kid-snes-cancelled/

That's the last unreleased Super Famicom game that I had a scan about ( at least for now ).

I found an ad for Kemco's Video Kid in a 1992 Famitsu:


The same ad also featured the unreleased Deja Vu II and Switchblade. More on my page here:

Man, someone at Kemco really thought that Kid Klown was the next big game mascot.

So Kid Klown was supposed to have replaced the main character of three games that weren't originally his? What a carreer. Rolling Eyes

It's because Kid Klown is an awesome character !

Probably the sprite change was planned only for the japanese version cause in the other screenshots found in western mags the sprite is the same as the one in the amiga version.

Has somebody any idea of what game this one could be ?
It's for Super Famicom, around 1994:

I think it's Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun: Kunio-Tachi no Banka. The names mark it as a Kunio-Kun game, anyway.

Yeah, pretty sure I've played it before and it is one of the Kunio games.

I've played it/beaten it. There's a translation patch available for it now.

Has Enix ever released a RPG called Elnerd/Ernald for Super Famicom?
Name change maybe ?

It was rumored to use the SFX chip.

EDIT:
Nevermind it's 7th Saga.

Speaking of Enix, does anyone know what game is in the second flyer, in the mid right ?

Uh, don't know how but I missed how Gamengai has flyers about Amusing Dream and Albert Odyssey Gaiden.

Which one is for AO Gaiden? It looks like it's just AO 1&2, which were both released on SFC.

The first four pages are about Albert Odyssey Gaiden, which was originally a Super Famicom game. It says "gaiden" in the title, and the character art is the same as it was in the Saturn version's manual.

I think I have some early screens of the Super Famicom version. I'll check around.

It's a Game Boy game called Dungeon Land.

Like Fenris said, the first four.
I can't read japanese but the battle screens are very similar to the beta images we already have ( reposting the link from the first page of this thread ):
http://www.unseen64.net/2009/12/09/albert-odyssey-gaiden-snes-cancelled/

Also the graphics looks overall better than AO2 ( quite nice for a Super Famicom game ).

Oh, that's right. Thank you.
Ah ah ah and here I thought it was Magatama Densetsu ( with shitty Famicom-type graphics ).

The more screens about AOG the better Smile

Here we are. These came from a preview in the July 1994 issue of Gamefan. Interesting that the second shot shows all of the game's characters in the party, while the others just use the spiky-haired boy and the blonde girl (yes, I know they're called Pike and Eka) for placeholders.





I didn't bother cropping the other two screens because they're already up on Unseen64's entry.

Man, Albert Odyssey was boring. Even though I was in my "I must try every RPG released in North America" phase, I'd have given up on Albert Odyssey after five minutes if Working Designs hadn't spiked the translation with so many stupid jokes.

Speaking of which, here's an anecdote from that delightful scamp and former WD employee Zach Meston.

Zach Meston wrote:
The first hintline call I ever fielded at WD was from a very obviously drunk woman playing through Albert Odyssey, and having trouble defeating the female boss who was armed with a whip. "She's my favorite boss," Drunk Lady rambled. "She reminds me of me." "And, uh, why is that?" I asked. "Oh, I'm a dominatrix," Drunk Lady replied, and I proceeded to ask her a series of questions about her profession until Victor shooed me off the line.
