2 new unreleased SNES-games uncovered

The former Nintendo-Power employee Howard Philipps found some old prototypes while dusting off the shelfes or something. Some of them are even unreleased. On Facebook he already shows some footage of "Mer Wars" and "Reactor".

Both games look very interesting. Any updates on that games?

[ChronoMoogle]

Unfortunately not. After he showed those screens nothing happened...

Anyone ever tried to reach him? Hmm…

[ChronoMoogle]

Well, I tried but was ignored.

Unfortunately, I think he found out how much they were worth, and decided to hold onto them. I also think part of the problem was that he was using these items to promote his kickstarter, which didn't even come close to its target. I think the original plan was to release them, but these two things made him change his mind.

It should be noted that I contacted the guy who ran the company that made Mer Wars (before Phillips' prototype was found), and he said the game was never actually in development. Fuzzy memories.

What if this all is just concept art, brought on screen with a slide show or so?

We will probably never know.

Mer Wars slipped into the hands of a collector and is likely to be dumped in the future. Here's some short live-footage of it:

Meh, I don't want to register there and/or download some ducking app to watch this video. Tell me when it's uploaded on a free-to-view platform. :/

Until then, I like to quote Zelda_BB here:

Worked fine for me without downloading any app/registering.

Steve Lin is the guy who released that SNES CD spec document a couple of weeks ago. I'm guessing he must have got Howard Phillips' stash.

Very nice.
