Conan Jaguar vanished with their closure and it’s unknown how much of the game was finished before the cancellation.Īt 1Up Games can read an interview with former Arcade Zone’s developers, in which they mention this unreleased beat ’em up: Without another publisher they had to give up on releasing Nightmare Busters SNES and Arcade Zone had to shut down. The french studio was closed down after Sony decided to not publish their latest Super Nintendo game, as the original Playstation arrived in Europe. Video from viMasterJag’s YouTube Channel!Ĭonan is a cancelled beat ’em up similar to Golden Axe that was in development by Arcade Zone for the Atari Jaguar. The labyrinth exploration and key gathering concept was condensed, but the character unlocking system remained intact. Pressuring the development team to get Kasumi Ninja out in a “timely fashion” (holiday season 1994), Kasumi’s story mode was dropped in favor of the fighting concept sans storyline. A fourth palette-swap ninja, garbed in blue, was seen in previews but apparently never made it to the final game. ![]() Habaki was garbed in black, but this was changed to represent Lord Gyaku. For example, Alaric’s default outfit had red trim, as opposed to blue. Many of the backgrounds and character designs went through several revisions. Players would have to navigate the labyrinth to find their opponents, and characters would be unlocked for play only as they were defeated by Senzo and Habaki. This method of gameplay would have required the player to invest more time in order to complete the story mode. Beating the game with each character would produce a specific key which, when combined, would unlock the gates to the final confrontation with Lord Gyaku. In this preview, Kasumi Ninja had a very heavy story element to it. Kasumi Ninja was previewed approximately 8 months before its original release by a virtual game magazine distributed via CD. ![]() ![]() The game went through several changes before it was released to the public. ![]() As we can read on Wikipedia, Kasumi Ninja is a 1994 one-on-one fighting game developed by Hand Made Software and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari Jaguar.
