I apologize for my inability to post in German, though I figure it is better for me to post in English rather than use a crappy Google Translate version of my post. I think it is great there is such a large fanbase for the SNES here, nothing like this site exists in English.

As many in the #snesfreaks IRC channel may know, I run the website SNES Central, dedicated to the greatest game console! Generally, I look at some of the more obscure SNES topics, such as unreleased games and prototypes. Whenever I update my site, I will post here!

Today's update is a prototype of Wild Guns, a game that plays like the second stage of the original Contra. Lost Levels has a prototype of the game, but it turned out to be the same as the final version. However, back in the mid 90s, a prototype of the Japanese version leaked on a BBS site.

Ich entschuldige mich, dass ich diesen Beitrag nicht in deutsch verfasst habe, aber ich dachte es ist besser ihn auf englisch zu schreiben als eine schlechte Übersetzung via Google Translate einzustellen. Ich finde es super, dass es hier so viele SNES Fans gibt. Es existiert kein Äquivalent zu dieser Seite im englischsprachigen Raum.
Wie viele Besucher des #snesfreaks IRC Channels vielleicht wissen, betreibe ich die Seite SNES Central. Sie ist der tollsten [, besten und famosesten] (Anm. des Übersetzers) Spielekonsole gewidmet [- dem SNES] (Anm. des Übersetzers). Ich beschäftige mich mit obskuren Themen rund um das SNES, u.a. nicht veröffentlichte Spiele und Prototypen. Wann immer ich meine Seite update, werde ich euch in diesem Thread benachrichtigen.
Heute kam ein Prototyp von Wild Guns dazu - ein Spiel, das sich wie der Nachfolger von Contra spielt. Lost Levels bietet einen Prototypen des Spiels an, aber es stellte sich heraus, dass er gleich ist mit der finalen Version des Spiels. Mitte der 90er fand jedoch eine japanische Version des Prototypen seinen Weg in die weiten der Welt über eine BBS Seite.

AAAAAWESOME XD...but you're completely right. i see it like this: who isn't able to understand a bit english isn't worth getting informations through my posts^^

There is no reason to translate these postings. The articles on Evans site are all in english - so there is no need for non-english speaking users to understand news for updates.

Thanks for the compliments, Evan! Your site is pretty awesome, too!

I got a message from RedScorpion who gave me a picture of the PCB for Tales of Phantasia. I took the opportunity to add some other PCB types that were not on my list.

• Momotarou Dentetsu Happy (SPC7110)
  Pilotwings (DSP1)
  Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W (SA-1)
  Super StarFox Weekend (Mario Chip 1)
  Tales of Phantasia

I've added a bunch more SNES cart label and pcb scans:

My PCB list is up to 112 entries, but I know this is not complete. If anyone has scans of pcbs that are not on this list, send me a message. I know for certain there are at least four PCB variants missing for Star Fox (I suspect they include the Starwing Competition, at least 2 variants of the Japanese version, and possibly one variant each of the US and European versions). I'm also missing PCBs for many special chip games, especially SA-1 games.

Warm welcome Evan!

Nice to have you here . Evan_G sounds like a cool rapper name .

Why not even establish an english speaking sub board? If there is no international counterpart of snesfreaks.com, a lot of people may be pleased of such a thing. This would also result in the trade section to become way more interesting. We might deal with various other people from the uk.

I would totally be in favour of this. Alternatively, I do have an underused forum on SNES Central, anyone is free to join that.

Today is the 11th anniversary of SNES Central. Since I just got back from vacation, I quickly made up an article based on some pictures of a Terranigma pirate that a contributor from South Korea sent me.

Matthew Callis sent me a prototype of Bubsy. Consider it released! (though there doesn't appear to be any visible changes to the game)
