symphony of the night game.com is real (prototype video)

This is 100% a game.com game but wow, this is surprisingly impressive when compared to say, Sonic Jam on game.com. I always assumed those promotional screenshots were mockups but nope, the game exists and definitely looks impressive for the system. Shame about the gameplay and performance though.

When you said "This game.com game is real..." I reflexively said, "garbage." That system has, let's say, a reputation for quality. Or more accurately, a reputation for the total absence of quality.

It's really about what I expected from a US made Tiger Game.com adaptation of a Japanese game: Decent facsimile of the game it's representing at a surface level, but looks to be really simple and repetitive.

The wargs and actual Richter v. Dracula battle are already adapted out in this prototype and I doubt they would be in the final game either. And if there's things like a map or inventory still present they sure aren't featured in this video.

Yep. That sums it up pretty well. Honestly. It's easy to see how this didn't release. Just rather impressed at how this was actually following SOTN's story and level layout? I kind of just expected that that it would have an original layout like Sonic Jam.

i am utterly amazed at how every game.com soundtrack i've heard sounds insufferable.

yep!

im sure the system has its fans though lol. I never knew the game.com existed until youtube videos existed around it, so I really have no nostalgia for the system, and the idea of playing any of the games honestly feels like not a great time. like, idk, the gameboy existed and ran games above a single digit framerate.

Credit where it’s due, they did a real good job replicating SotNs spritework on a vastly weaker system

It looks absolutely unplayable.
