Unreleased Localization of Jajamaru: Ninpou Chou. Scheduled to be released in mid 1990 by Jaleco but was canceled for unknown reasons.

Notes

  • Much of the graphics and music have already been either altered in some way or completely redone.
    • Despite this, the game remains in a very unfinished state, with many enemies, animations, and an entire chapter of the game not implemented into the game proper(Though they all still exist on the rom, the third quest has barely any work put into it, aside from a few possible enemies).
  • The script seems to be very early as well, containing plenty of translation errors(The most obvious of which is when the shaman uses a $ when telling you how much experience you need for the next level) as well as copious amounts of broken English.
