Toho's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (NES)

[Showa Gyaos]

Look in the left-hand corner of the image. It clearly has "Toho Company, Ltd." on the game cover. Any reason why they were involved with such a random title, when they didn't even have a movie based on Robert Louis Stevenson's book?

[Living Corpse]

Dah! Get it away! *Jumps under behind couch*. Yeah I remember thinking the same thing when I saw James's review for it.

i thought this thread was gonna have something about "godzilla's war" being official... lol

but maybe toho was going to make a JnH movie?

[Battra2346]

Well for sure there is no other company with the name Toho.I can't be sure about why Toho Ltd. is on the cartridge.Possibly just for marquee (spelled corrctly?) value but I also sort of doubt that.

[GodzillavsJason]

lol no wonder why Godzilla is extra pissed off now.

I doubt it. if there were, then it might've been in the cutting room.

^Arbok said that a lot of unused projects have not been added for the site yet.

[Living Corpse]

Yeah. Why else do you think the Grphyon(SP?) isn't in the unused creations?

[Dynomy84]

ah. then forget I said that. I still kinda doubt they were gonna make the movie though.

[zilla103192]

why? the made a wholw bunch of movies like that. toho isnt all kaiju.

thaere was even a planned Human Torch Movie!

[Dynomy84]

still, I don't exactly picture Toho making this. then again, they did use Frankenstein before. there might be a chance this was in the making but it never got the day of spotlight.

[JVM]

Nothing says involvement in a random game means it was part of a bigger project. Toho might just have though the game'd be a big moneymaker.

[Dynomy84]

true, true. I still wonder why did they make this.

Toho did a Robot baseball game for the SNES yet they never made a movie about robots playing baseball .

I'm necroing topics left and right in this forum today... anyway, Toho was heavily involved in video games back in the NES and SNES era.

This is what lead to this game and other "gems" like Circus Caper:

(hint: Toho was pretty bad at making video games through their affiliates)

Angry Video Game Nerd reviewed it, and in his opinion, it sucked! I decided to play it on nintendo8.com after watching the video to see how bad it really was. Sure enough, it was the worst game I have ever played hands down!

After playing this game, I believe it.
