Status: Lost
Bean Ball Benny is a cancelled 1991 beat ‘em up/action game, developed by Microsmiths and set to be published by Nuvision Entertainment for the SEGA Genesis. The game was cancelled due to Nuvision closing its doors, subsequently cancelling Bean Ball Benny plus two other titles they worked on (The Swamp Thing and Guardian Angels Safety Patrol). In March 2010, Bmpedrums from the Digital Press Forum found a prototype of the game, shared some screenshots, and uploaded a video to YouTube.
Gameplay
Going by it's footage, the game is a typical side-scrolling action game, with the player controlling titular character throwing baseball projectiles at enemies. The footage also shows off several driving levels as well, though gameplay doesn't differ that much. The prototype also seems to have a level select feature, likely for bug-testing.
Status
Although it was shown at a summer 1991 CES and it was also had advertisements in magazines that year, the game was never publicly released. Other than the footage uploaded by user bigh4th, nothing else about the game has surfaced online.
