Prerelease:Mega Man's Soccer
This page details pre-release information and/or media for Mega Man's Soccer.
Scrapped Characters
The magazine Weekly Famicom Tsūshin #250 has early screenshots of the game showing Heat Man and Hard Man as playable characters, along with Drill Man's name being visible in the screen with Hard Man. None of them are present in the final game.
Curiously, the book Mega Man Official Complete Works has Ryuji Higurashi saying "I'm pretty sure I saw Guts Man and Heat Man in some preview screenshots... I wonder where they went? I asked people about that when I joined the company, and I was told they planned to include them in the sequel!" Guts Man does appear in concept art of the game's cover in the same book.
Early Special Shots
In the magazine Superplay #18, two screens show different special shots. Pharaoh Man's fireball appears to be bigger, while Toad Man is... shooting a smaller Toad Man?
