Discuss this release on the boards here!

Continuing with Dreamcast Month we have a few more prototypes to share with you today!

First we have a late prototype of the Dreamcast port of Fighting Vipers 2 that predates the final Japanese build by a few days. Next we have a late prototype of MDK2 that also predates the final by a few days as well. We also have a US localization prototype of the Dreamcast port of Resident Evil 2 that seems to only contain code changes.

We have a couple more prototypes with more interesting differences, however. We have an incredibly early prototype of Stunt GP that predates the final by almost a full year. We have a late preview prototype of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 and a debug enabled E3 build of WWF Royal Rumble too!

Stay tuned for next week for the conclusion of Dreamcast Month.

Until next time!
