Joe vs. The Wall

About

Joe vs. The Wall is a cancelled side scrolling adventure developed by Ocean Software for the Super Nintendo. Players control a character named Joe who faces off against a massive wall in an action packed environment. The game was listed in Nintendo Power issue 34 back in March 1992 as one of the titles Ocean showed at the Winter CES that year. Nothing playable exists today since the project never shipped, but the concept involved navigating obstacles while battling the titular barrier. This title stands out mostly because it disappeared from history before anyone could play it. It remains a curious piece of SNES trivia for collectors who track unreleased projects. Ocean Software had a reputation for pushing boundaries during that era, so this canceled entry adds to their legacy of unfinished work. The game appeared in magazines but never reached store shelves or players hands. Fans of obscure gaming history often discuss this title when talking about what could have been on the 16-bit console.
