I dunno. They MAY have, but they scrapped a US release for a reason, most likely sales because they may have deemed it too tough for their target audience. While Samson, is MUCH easier. It IS in Nintendo Power as an upcoming release IIRC. It may even show a couple of levels, but I could also be thinking of "Turrican". I think they'd have kept all the artwork the same as the PAL version, but its sure cool to think what it'd look like.
