It isn't the first time a game in Japan turns out to be literally cursed, heck several manga had to end because they were cursed, sometimes way out of the author's control (broken shrine anyone?).
That's the kind of story that picks my interest the best.
If the game was that close to finished, there is a very high chance that a prototype rom exists somewhere. It's just really as to whether or not someone finds it
Dang talk about development hell
We cannot be 100% sure that it's cancelled. After all, Bio Force Ape, a game announced in Nintendo Power and supposedly cancelled, was found in 2010.
Bio Force Ape was 100% cancelled. Only someone kept a prototype and sold it online.
Maybe it's still locked away on a harddrive somewhere and they'll release it in a collectyion as a bonus on Megaten's 100th birthday. :p
How can we get such good content for free ?😄
I'm a bit sad it didn't happen, it would have been a cool spin-off.
EDIT 1: The Al Gore joke gave me a chuckle
It really looked like a game of enjoy tbh and the fact it started off as an arcade game made me so sad
5:18 No way this game would have released translated in French. Very few games were translated back then. French magazines in that era covered all Japanese import news because PAL releases were so late, often compromised to 50Hz conversions and many games would not even come out. Most of these magazines’ early advertisements came from import game shops that would also convince magazines to review the import games the shops had ordered (and sometimes pressure them to review the games "charitably"). Games magazine Consoles+ (the "+" isn’t silent) was one of two French magazines who had a local reporter in Japan to cover this kind of news extensively (and often steal early screenshots from Japanese magazines).
Sorry I meant "in France", but yeah the screenshots in consoles weren't anywhere else, at least not the ones I had access to. It also provided details not really any other magazine had.
@@Larrue Sure, as I mentioned, they did have local staff in Japan; if the issue is from 1994, that journalist was very close to Famitsu’s staff and later became the Japanese correspondent for Edge Magazine in the UK.
I doubt they would get entirely exclusive stuff (at least on purpose) but they did have direct access to JP developers and media assets. I see two possibilities. ① Some JP magazine also got those assets but the Japanese media in question was lost to time. ② It would sometimes happen that floppies and CDs containing media would mistakenly include or label screenshots and PR still under NDA. So it sometimes happened that foreign magazines would get "scoops" this way (as it would be harder to stop them from printing the yet unapproved info/media). Most famously this is how French Magazine Joypad leaked Dreamcast two months ahead of its official announcement (all the announcement PR was included by mistake in a CD-ROM intended for Japanese press).
Did you used to be involved with gaming news or something you seem to know a lot
@@Larrue I know some of these guys but anyway these stories are well known among French gamers of that generation. We even have entire books written about that era.
Ah? I tried looking on the French side of the web for info but didn't really find anything
I found it
it’s in the DDS2MT 😎
0:31 Nuh uh you get called a devil buster by random demons when negotiating with them
Still waiting on that SMT V video
Same lol tho I have a feeling it’s gonna be worth the wait
@@RaxonXVI Indeed, Larrue's work is one of the best on RUclips
Always amazing to see the documentation of these titles from the Megami Tensei franchise!
P.S. The end title card artwork is concept art from 真III, no? Do you have HD Scans of it to share? It looks so beautiful 😍💖
I got the image from the files of nocturne HD remaster, so I don't have an HD scan off it unfortunately
@@Larrue In the PC version of the game? I own it through Steam too. Do you remember the directory of the pictures, by any chance?
man this project was cursed🙈
Very interesting video!
Glad you enjoyed it
...hmmm? i have a feeling that this game eventually turned into a different game... i don't know how and why?
slow relaxing sound test to work/study to.
Always interesting to see/hear about games(and other projects) that didn't get released/finished.
This us a great video and sad it got canceled. Sounded awesome and would have love an arcade cabinet to play it indoors
Sooooo.......... Giten? Megami tensei?
What?
Good lol smt is so boring boring nonsensical story lines about God and demons💀💀😂😂🙈🙈
☠️
I'd be down if we got a Megaten game like this. This is giving me the same feeling I felt from that bullet hell mini game in DDS2
