BatmiteReturns Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I remember back in 1989 seeing a preview of the Batman game from Sunsoft. They showed a bunch of cut scenes that were, well, cut from the game itself. I was wondering if anyone knows of a prototype rom that may have been dumped?

Are you talking about "Batman - The Revenge Of The Joker" ? If so, yes I dumped it before I sold the prototype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmiteReturns Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 No, this was based on the 1989 movie. It was released in 1990. Sorry for the confusion. This showed cutscenes of Batman interrogating a criminal. He tells him that Joker kidnapped Vickie Vale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 What version, the 1989 NES release or the 1990 (1991 in US) Genesis version? The Genesis version was probably in developement in '89. I don't have any proto roms, but I'd be interested in hearing more about this.

Tempest Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 You know I think I vaguely remember this proto. As I recall I saw some pics in a gaming amg back then (Nintendo Power maybe?). I do remember the criminal interigation screenshot because I thought it looked damn good for a NES game. It never occured to me that they weren't in the final release until now.

TheRedEye Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 The preview also has a 1up that was cut from the game, and this cut screen: Unfortunately, the only proto found so far contains none of these things. The 1up sprite IS still in the ROM, though. EDIT: These are for a future project, so please don't steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmiteReturns Posted November 15, 2003 Author Share Posted November 15, 2003 Awesome! Yep, those are the scenes! They were from the NES version. This was based on the original 1989 movie and were not in the follow up game Return Of The Joker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I've been trying to figure something out for a while now: Batman is Sunsoft But Batman Returns is Konami WHY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigo Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Perhaps later, they (KONAMI) had better contacts to Warner Bros (Animaniacs, Tiny Toons) and it was easier for them getting the license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmiteReturns Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 The license with Sunsoft expired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Sunsoft made the better ones. Batman on the NES and Genesis are great. It's okay on GB. Batman: Return of the Joker was good on the GB and the NES, wasn't a big fan of the Genesis one for some reason. I think the only good Konami Batman (IMO) is Batman Returns for the SNES. The NES one I found dull and repetitive, the exact opposite of their excellent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmiteReturns Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 Actually The Adventures of Batman & Robin for SNES is even bettern than Batman Returns. The graphics, animation and especially the music are awesome considering it's a 16-bit game. It's worth checking out. BTW, ROTJ for NES was awesome but it seemed to me they dropped the ball on the Genesis and SNES version. They appear to be nothing but a straight port of the NES version with a couple of (very) small graphic enhancements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Haven't played the SNES version of Batman & Robin, but the Genesis version is awful. They made an SNES RotJ? Judging by the Genesis version, I probably wouldn't like it. The GB version is very different but pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmiteReturns Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 They made a SNES version of ROTJ but it was so bad that they didn't release it. A dumped rom is available for download. SNES B&R is totally different than the Genesis version. It's a lot, lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex90 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 The preview also has a 1up that was cut from the game, and this cut screen: Unfortunately, the only proto found so far contains none of these things. The 1up sprite IS still in the ROM, though. EDIT: These are for a future project, so please don't steal! Hey I cannot see the pictures anymore. I know this is an old post but I was wondering if you ever read this could you post the pictures again? I would really like to see the stuff that was cut from the game. Thank you!
