Just found this nifty little article. It seems that an NES game has surfaced, which was made by Square but never released for the system. It had a release on the MSX, but never made it to Nintendo Systems.
Aliens NES feature on 1up
Pretty cool if you ask me. The playthrough of the game takes around 13 minutes, so it's not terribly long. If this game was released at the time, it probably would've been pretty fuckin sweet! Upgrades to weapons, non-linear level design (sort of), and tons of other pickups to find...for a game created in 1987, that's pretty good. My only gripe is that the final boss is pretty terribly done.
It kinda blows my mind that this game has just suddenly shown up after not being seen for so long. Finding a brand new NES game in 2011? That just seems insane! Check it out!
