A version for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] (NES) was announced alongside the Super NES version and had been showcased at the 1991 [[Consumer Electronics Show]], but the NES version was never properly released. However, prototype cartridges for the NES version were discovered in 2018, and one copy was obtained by [[video game preservationist]] [[Frank Cifaldi]], who extensively documented its features compared to the original personal computer game and the Super NES version.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://kotaku.com/lost-nes-version-of-simcity-emerges-after-27-years-1831308462 | title = Lost NES Version Of SimCity Emerges After 27 Years | first = Jason | last = Schreier | date = December 25, 2018 | access-date = January 4, 2019 | work = [[Kotaku]] | archive-date = January 5, 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190105200901/https://kotaku.com/lost-nes-version-of-simcity-emerges-after-27-years-1831308462 | url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://gamehistory.org/simcity/ | title = Recovering Nintendo's Lost SimCity for the NES | first = Frank | last = Cifaldi | date = December 25, 2018 | access-date = January 4, 2019 | work = [[The Video Game History Foundation]] | archive-date = January 7, 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190107003111/https://gamehistory.org/simcity/ | url-status = live}}</ref> It featured a completely different soundtrack (also composed by Oka) from that of the Super NES version;<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kuchera |first1=Ben |title=Unearthed SimCity NES prototype includes beautiful, unheard score by Super Mario Kart composer |url=https://www.polygon.com/2018/12/26/18156491/simcity-nes-music-mario-kart-pilotwings-soyo-oka-listen |website=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] |access-date=July 1, 2019 |date=December 26, 2018 |archive-date=July 1, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190701191334/https://www.polygon.com/2018/12/26/18156491/simcity-nes-music-mario-kart-pilotwings-soyo-oka-listen |url-status=live}}</ref> besides ''Metropolis Theme'',<ref>{{cite web |title=Game Music :: Interview with Soyo Oka (March 2011) |url=https://www.squareenixmusic.com/features/interviews/soyooka.shtml |website=Square Enix Music Online |access-date=July 1, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110403035226/http://www.squareenixmusic.com/features/interviews/soyooka.shtml |archive-date=April 3, 2011|url-status=live}}</ref> a composition that Oka herself considers one of her best works.<ref>{{cite web |title=RocketBaby's interview w/Soyo Oka |url=https://www.rocketbaby.net/interviews_soyo_oka.html |website=RocketBaby.net |access-date=July 1, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010305022924/http://rocketbaby.net/interviews_soyo_oka.html |archive-date=March 5, 2001 |url-status=live}}</ref>
