The article says it was fully developed just not released.Delance said:Was the WC2 SNES ever completed?

Vermin said:So will somebody out there will have a version of the game though? like an origin employee, before it would of been copied too the cartridges, like a master copy or something? oooh and the same question about the prophecy dvd version, do you know if anyone would have a master of that?
AD said:IIRC the SNES was already on the way out, so that combined with a really expensive cartridge price pretty my assured that it would be a money loosing proposition to produce. As far as the company was concered the descision was a no-brainer.
Edfilho said:they probably didn't lose much cash with the shelving of WC2-SNES... it was a port in a much simpler time.
and AFAIK, WC3 cost was around 4 million dollars. WC4 doubled it to 8million.

The bottom line has indeed been such a factor in loss of some almost completed and actually completed games and I am sorry that some of the WC's did not make it to us.....the costs of the transition to full modeling and 3D as with WC 3,
and on to IV were eveidently very high, I have read that WC IV was at least 3 million, is this true? Some of the Myst series cost up to 10 million ......so there are costs in development especially in the graphics and the code....
