The Adventures of Dewey the Dolphin, also simply known as Dewey the Dolphin, is an unreleased video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System that was originally meant to come out in 1991.
It was to be published by Ocean, programmed by Allan Shortt and would have had graphics designed by John Palmer. Originally meant to be an arcade game, it was switched to be a Sega Genesis/Megadrive title due to budget reasons, and finally an NES game.
