Shin Samurai Spirits 2: Haohmaru Jigokuhen

Shin Samurai Spirits 2: Haohmaru Jigokuhen
Developer: Hummer Team Publisher: JY Company Platform: Unlicensed NES Released internationally: 1996 This game has unused playable characters. This game has hidden developer credits. This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused music.

To do: There's leftovers from Garou Densetsu Special (the whole packed level tilemap library) and an unused fighter select screen inside the hardwired tilemaps only featuring 8 characters.

Shin Samurai Spirits 2: Haohmaru Jigokuhen is a NES port of Samurai Shodown II for the Neo Geo.

Mortal Kombat II Special Leftovers

At 00B9/00BA under value 09 holds some of Baraka's data from Mortal Kombat II Special. He acts just like how he was in Hummer Team's Yuu Yuu Hakusho Final: Makai Saikyou Retsuden port although his "dashes" are even more broken now. While his palette data does exist (if you pause right before the character changes into Baraka, you can see the character using his original palette), his palette during the fight is constantly changing.

Values 0A to 0D cause the game to crash but the palette data for the other Mortal Kombat II Special characters remain in these values:

• 0A - Scorpion
• 0B - Raiden
• 0C - Goro
• 0D - Shao Kahn
• 0E - Invisible Reptile

Unused Music

Track 4 - Kart Fighter - Ending Music

In the NSF, Kart Fighter‍ '​s ending theme can be found. Along with the Mortal Kombat II Special leftovers, this might be proof that this game was built off of Hummer Team's Yuu Yuu Hakusho Final: Makai Saikyou Retsuden port.

JY Company Logo

Pressing Up, Right, Up, Right, Right, Right, Up, Left on the title screen will trigger a screen with JY Company's logo. As with similar Easter eggs in other JY Company games, the only way to leave the screen is to reset the game.

Hyper Editor Keybinding Configuration

The ROM contains leftovers from a keybinding configuration for Hyper Editor V5.01, a Chinese word processor.

Leftovers like these ones exist also in the Final Fight 3 unlicensed NES port.

Chunks

A big chunk can be found at ROM offsets 0x0278A-0x0300F and most of it matches the one in Final Fight 3:
