Coin Op version of Nexzr?

[bust3dstr8]

I ran into a few sights that suggest Nexzr was also released in 1992 for the arcades.

This is the first time hearing about it for me. If it was on pcb...it must of been a tiny Japan
only release.

never heard of that too. unless they mean the "arcade screen mode" built-in the game

I've seen this topic a few times searching for information on Naxat.  Seems Kaneko may have released it 92' as a coin op.  However, I don't think there is a know cab or board in existence or even known pictures or video. . .   be quite the find though. 

If you search nexzr + arcage you get a whole bunch more arcade sites that list the game like those with a release date of 92', however all have no information after that.

Wonder if anyone can prove that these existed?

Pure rumor.  It does NOT exist.  Some one somewhere imagined it, and then every single website copied it.  Similar to Image Fight II, there is no arcade version.  Never has been.

Internet = Solid Information all the time

As long as there has been lists of arcade games on the internet, there have been bs listings of Turbo/PCE and other games as having arcade versions. There are many PCE games that many PCE fans wouldn't know are actually based on arcade games, but I don't believe that Nexzr is one of them.

Bloody Wolf is an arcade game that runs on PCE hardware.

Actually, very similar hardware. If you look at comparison screenshots between Arcade and PCE Bloody Wolf, the colors are completely different.

On the other hand, the old MSX shooter Sky Jaguar by Konami has been said to have been originally a coin-op, but I don't even think it exists. It's not like it was a good game anyway.

I'm guessing, and this is only a guess, that Kaneko did in fact have something to do with nexzr, however never released it, and naxat then ported it over to the PCE.  and every speculated from there.

Sorry, wrong guess.  Naxat is merely a publisher.  They don't do porting, but rather publish the works of other dev houses like Compile, etc.

That's what I meant, it's not a PC Engine arcade, just a board using similar parts. Coloring often changes between regions on the same console, but Bloody Wolf the arcade also runs at half the framerate and has somewhat different content for what was extended upon for PCE as well as a different soundtrack in FM sound.

Ahhh good catch, I worded that all wrong, Not that they "ported" but that they actually published it is what I'm getting at, meaning that somewhere in internet land someone decided since kaneko did the work, that there must then be an arcade machine.  as a side not was naxat just a pure publisher of others work? or are there orginal naxat games out there?

[SuperDeadite]

Naxat was mostly publishing.  Which is why during the Saturn era when they ran out of money, they gave us complete shit like Planet Joker and Battle Monsters.

I guess it's looking like good old interwebz misinformation. If they went as far as the location test phase with
a few boards someone would of remembered it.

put the pce into a cab, and voila there you have the coin-op nexzr

close topic.

IIRC, Tom made a port of the arcade Bloody Wolf, but with no music.  I can't recall if it had sound effects, but, it seemed to run fairly well.  I'll have to see if I have it baried in my archives.
