Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck spoofs almost appeared in Shin Megami Tensei

All the way back in 1992, Atlus released Shin Megami Tensei on the Super Famicom. That installment of the series took fans to a theme park called Tokyo Destiny Land, which had the player taking on demented theme park monsters. While there were plenty of baddies to take on, a very specific duo was planned at one point, but yanked before the game released.

As you can see from the sprite art above, Atlus was going to spoof Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck with twisted takes on the classic characters. It seems Atlus had second thoughts about taunting the House of Mouse with these designs, so they did away with them before launching. I'm thinking that was a smart idea!
