After seeing Kestrel's brochure, I remembered this one purchased some years back by Jason. It was released by Nintendo of America and seems to be featuring Pocketsize games. Looking at the widescreens, the missing games are Chef, Turtle Bridge, and Egg, but all others are included. Is this evidence that those three were not Pocketsized? It's odd because the pamphlet itself has no mention of "Pocketsize," and doesn't feature any multi screens. Another oddity is the Donkey Kong Circus. If you look closely, a graphic from Mickey Pano was used for the screen, and the "Donkey Kong Circus" graphic art by the buttons looks crudely drawn in, almost as if the game had not been released at the point this booklet was created. Please share your thoughts on this.

It is evidence, indeed, but it doesn't prove beyond doubt that they were never released. After all, the multi screens are missing and we know they exist. It's possible that there were more than one phase of releases, and this is just one of the phases. If this is the first phase, then it is possible that the second phase With the multi screens included the missing wide screens. But then if this is a second phase, then it would seem very unlikely that the missing wides were ever released. Unless we find the 'other' leaflet, we will never know.

Right, a lot could have happened from the time this pamphlet was released, but seeing how the three we haven't found are the only missing wides on the pamphlet, it doesn't look promising. Apparently the name "Pocketsize" was not yet added to the series when this pamphlet was released, and Donkey Kong Circus wasn't even available for them to add a photo (they had to tweak a Mickey Pano which I thought was interesting.)
