If you were a kid in the late '80s and early '90s, you probably have memories of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, complete with Mario and Zelda cartoons. Now, thanks to an eBay auction hosted by a former DIC employee, we're getting a look at what other video game cartoons we nearly had.
The lot, which stands at $616 at the time of this writing, contains four photo prints for DIC and Nintendo's unproduced cartoons that would also have been a part of the run. Check out this very Scooby-Doo-esque Castlevania rendering:

For better or for worse, none of these ever saw the light of day—so these concept pics may be your only taste of what could have been. The down side? We could totally have had Metroid and Castlevania cereal. We were robbed.
The auction ends May 14, so get your bids in soon.
