I know what you are thinking, this was released!
Well yes it was, but not the version that was first previewed with the Jaguar back in 1993. The original version of Kasumi Ninja was more of a Street Fighter 2 clone, as opposed to Mortal Kombat, with it's high quality 2D pixel graphics and rendered backgrounds. The story goes that Handmade Software showed it to Atari and they didn't like it, thought it was old hat and asked them to try again with a game that was more like Mortal Kombat. Sadly no prototype of this version has ever shown up, it would certainly be interesting to see how it played.
