While this video is both informative and entertaining, it’s also a direct look into all the effort that went […]

The unreleased game Cooly Skunk was just found and dumped for the public!  The game was originally announced in 1994 for the SNES and a demo was even broadcast on the Satellaview, but the project was eventually moved to the PlayStation, where the game was received poorly.
