Superman (U) (<a title= Prototype) [!]_001" src="http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/superman-u-prototype-001-thumb.png" width="196" align="right" border="0"> Legend has it Sunsoft, the company that made Batman for the NES, was developing a Superman game. The Lost Levels has an article about Sunman, another unreleased NES game that looks like a Superman game, but stars an unknown solar powered hero who happens to have the same powers as certain Kryptonian.

Now a build of the Superman game is out, also graciously provided by the Lost Levels team. Download it here. Then punch enemies out of existence and zap a helicopter with laser eye power.

What is Sunsoft doing these days? Releasing tile matching mahjong games and original manga on WiiWare.

It's too bad Sunsoft isn't more adventurous these days! They weren't perfect, but they could crank out some high-quality stuff when they wanted to back in the day.
