Igo Meikan
1990
Igo Meikan ("Go Directory") is a go game for the Famicom released by Hect, a developer that specialized in board game to video game adaptations. It is primarily focused on teaching the player to play go like the pros, with the meikan (or directory) in this case being a list of techniques and tactics. As with all versions of go, the goal is to surround the opposing player's pieces, thereby capturing them and removing them from the board. The winner is whoever has the most pieces on the board left when both players have stopped taking turns (usually because there's no more legal moves).Mickey Mouse III: Yume Fuusen

Fēng Shén Bǎng is a 1996 one-on-one fighting game released for the Famicom throughout Asia. It was also released with a localized label as Myth Struggle, although the in-game content is unchanged. The game is based on the 16th century Chinese epic novel of the same name, also called Fēngshén Yǎnyì (封神演義) and often translated to Investiture of the Gods or The Creation of the Gods. The game is essentially a hacked version of Hummer Team's earlier bootleg version of DragonBall Z: Super Butōden 2, which was originally released on the Super NES. The change by Waixing was made to legitimize the content as to not run into copyright laws, as this version was also released (although still unlicensed by Nintendo) in Japan and with likely intent to distribute outside of Asia.Donkey Kong no Ongaku Asobi
Donkey Kong no Ongaku Asobi is a canceled game set for release on the Family Computer. It would have followed Popeye no Eigo Asobi and released alongside Donkey Kong Jr. Math as one of the edutainment games based on the Famicom's launch titles. Donkey Kong no Ongaku Asobi starred the cast of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. The game never surfaced, and seems to have only been announced in 1983 in a Japanese handbill as well as magazines.
