Description
Dragon Warrior (Prototype) (NES, Nintendo, 1989) Wata Certified. One of only three prototypes of this title have been confirmed to exist, making this a tremendously rare piece of gaming history.This is a prototype for the first installment in the immensely popular Dragon Quest series predating the game's North American release by approximately three to four months. Prototypes for any NES game are hard enough to come by, but those for first-party games are even scarcer, as Nintendo was able to dictate what was done with the prototype cartridges post-development. In some cases, Nintendo required the destruction of prototypes!
This has been Wata-certified as authentic. Grades are not assigned to prototypes, per Wata's usual practice, since there are no industry standards of uniformity for these prototypes that were handcrafted by the game's original development team at Nintendo.
