What NES japanese developed games were not released on famicom?
If you can put some info about it would be nice too.

Some examples:
Strider
Star Tropic 1 & 2

The only ones I can think of are Pac-Mania (unlicensed) and Monster Party.

[Ryo]

legendary wing
titan warrior

[Cheetahmen]

titan warrior

I don't think that counts, seeing as it was never actually released. Also, I just remembered that the Taito version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade only got released in the US.

monster in my pocket

[Ghegs]

Contra Force.

[vgthing]

Marble Madness

Gumshoe - A Nintendo R&D1 developed platform game using the NES Zapper. It was designed by Yoshio Sakamoto of Metroid fame.

Power Blade 2


EDIT: Relased as "Captain Saver"

[Cheetahmen]

Power Blade 2

Actually, that did get released in Japan as Captain Saver if I remember correctly. The original Power Blade never got released there though.

Power Blade was relased in japan!, but a different version called "Power Blazer"

I could be wrong, but weren't the Flintstones and Jetsons games US exclusives? Also, I forget if this was mentioned already but Noah's Ark is another one.

[RC2C05-99]

No, both of those were released in Japan.

As far as Noah's Ark via Konami, is that a protoype or UK/EU only?  Because it wasn't sold officially in the US as far as I can tell.

[edit] NVM, I see it was for PAL regions.  Definitely not US.  And it doesn't appear to be developed in Japan, even though published by Konami.

[edit2] Noah's Ark developer = "Source Research & Development".  Definitely not developed in Japan.
