Sun Shine[a] is an unreleased 1990 tile-matching puzzle arcade video game that was in development by Alpha Denshi and planned to be published by SNK for both the Neo Geo MVS (arcade) and Neo Geo AES (home) platforms. It is the first puzzle game to be developed for both systems and the smallest Neo Geo game in terms of memory data.
Taking place in Paradise Island where looming severe weather threatens to disrupt the climate of the tropical location, players assume command of a dish that contains the Sun's transferred power in order to repel the incoming storms and restore the island to normal.[2] Its gameplay consists of tile-matching, with a main two-button configuration and featuring two playable modes. Sun Shine was first given a location test in July 1990 and despite being previewed across a few video game magazines, in addition to being showcased to attendees at various trade shows, it was ultimately shelved for unknown reasons.
Although Sun Shine was never officially released to the general public by SNK in its original state despite being completed, it was recalled and received a complete overhaul by Alpha Denshi that would eventually lead to the game becoming a new project titled Fun Fun Bros, featuring a new storyline and theme while retaining the same gameplay from its original counterpart.[3][4]
