The Super Famicom almost got a Back to the Future II RPG
Great Scott!
There have been a few different Back to the Future games over the years, most of which haven't been so hot. Telltale did a fine job with their series, but outside of that, it's been slim pickings quality-wise. If only there were another game to take a crack at the series and give it a chance to shine...
Turns out there almost was another Back to the Future game, and it was all the way back in the SNES/Super Famicom days. An old Famitsu scan shows us that a Back to the Future II game in a Legend of Zelda style was being worked on. For whatever reason, that project ended up canned. The Super Famicom did get a Back to the Future II game, but it was a side-scrolling title. Whatever happened to this RPG project has been lost to history.
