The Collective, Inc. – in partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive – was once working on Dirty Harry/Dirty Harry Extreme. What we didn’t know is that separate versions were planned for Nintendo systems several years ago.

Unseen64 reports that Sensory Sweep Studios was developing Dirty Harry for Wii, DS, PS2, and PC. While the Wii version was never put into full production, it would have been an “up-port” of the PS2 release with IR pointer aiming and motion control for melee attacks. The DS version was intended to be built from the ground up.

This is a rather interesting glitch. One Smash Bros. player, who was trying out the Smash Tour mode, was presented with a game-breaking bug.

As shown in the video above, after Zelda was defeated, Mario was supposed to come in as the third CPU’s final fighter. That didn’t happen for some strange reason, and the match became impossible to complete. You’ll even see that the “battle” continues after the announcer says “Game!”

Thanks to yollych for the tip.
