Prototypes on Yahoo Japan - July 2008

Here are a bunch of SFC prototypes that were found on the Yahoo Japan Auctions site during early July 2008. Thanks to Li Wang for finding these auctions and tvtoon from #zsnes on Freenode for help with the Romanization of some of Japanese names. By: Evan G Last updated: July 3, 2008

Here are some prototypes of SFC games found on Yahoo Japan's auction site. I'll admit that I don't know any Japanese, but I know there are people out there who like to see pictures of prototypes. Most of these are by Banpresto, but the Dragon Slayer - Legend of Heroes II one is very interesting with game art right on the prototype.

Dragon Slayer - Legend of Heroes II appears to be a Dragon Quest style RPG I think it is pretty neat how this prototype has game art on it.
