 NES characters were Nintendo's bitches for years. Nintendo would put their faces on anything if they thought it would turn over a profit. I got a whole section on this site about all the crap merchandise that was put out in that era. Well this section is devoted to the stuff Nintendo made that never hit the market.

Our first product is Zelda brand all purpose fertilizer. Finely ground horse manuore perfect for home gardening. This product was released in select farming areas, and sold low do to the $50 price tag. Nintendo chose to stop making it.
Nintendo and Capcom put out a Mega Man Pregnancy Test. If results for were negative it would show Bowser, if they were positive, it would show Dr. Wiley. Unfortunetly the test were not very accurate. In tests run by the two companies, it got 95% of the results wrong. Therefore this pregnancy test was never released to the public.
Upon realizing that all old people love to play Duckhunt, Nintendo tried to capatalize on this by producing adult diapers depicting several Nintendo characters. These diapers were set to hit the market, but a fire caught in the wharehouse right before they would be shipped. All diapers were destroyed.
Nintendo Tampons were set to be released in 1990, and were of course marketed towards girl gamers. Production of the femanine hygiene product line of Nintendo was closed before these were released due to budget cutbacks. Sadly they were never seen by the public.
