It looks like it was scheduled for a US release and then cancelled. This is all I could find, it looks like it was a fire fighting game that got released on the Famicom:

It's a fire-fighting rescue game. You control two fire fighters on the ground who have a trampoline while a third fire fighter bounces on the trampoline and attempts to save people from a burning building. It's incredibly basic... sort of like Pong or Alleyway with a burning building theme." - NP34 Now Playing.
Also in NP34, the game is in "Your Guide to the Latest NES Releases." It's a two-player alternating comic action game, and rated a 2.9 (out of 5).
"Do you smell smoke? Where there's smoke... there's fire!!! Billy Bob and his bunch of blazebusters will save lives by sailing through the air and rescuing people falling from burning buildings. 30 different scenarios in this scorcher." - EGM20 (pg 98). Thanks Adam L!
"Here's your chance to be that fireman you always wanted to be. Rescue poor innocent civilians and douse flames in this interesting game for your NES." - EGM25 (pg 114).
$10.00 / $39.99: buy/sell prices - Beyond Gaming #4 c1991 (pg 11).
--- Released on Famicom as Flying/Fighting Hero.

Here's a link to the screenshots from Nesworld:

We've got an entry in the database, but I don't think I've put in the info from TheWarpZone yet.

On another note, the top right game (Gameboy) is also an unreleased game.

"Featured in the March 1992 issue of Nintendo Power. This game was released in Japan by Epic/Sony as Flying Hero (see also Super Rescue)."

Is there an actual proto floating around or did they just make box-art for ads?
