Let's reminisce of some old games that never came to be. Remember Donkey Kong Racing? One of the earlier games announced for the Gamecube. Looked neat, but I don't think anyone really cared when it got cancelled. I just happened to remember it. There's another Gamecube game that was hugely hyped. I just can't recall the name. It was being developed by Retro and it was a 3rd person action-adventure that had a Zelda-esque quality to it. It looked really great. I believe they canned it so they could focus 100% on Metroid Prime. edit - Raven Blade. That's the title I'm looking for

Definitely one of the most disappointing cancelations ever. Plus, just imagine the potential multiplayer would have had.

you both realise its "indefinetely delayed" and now in the capable hands of ape escape studio's, right?... right?

what does this mean: you are now the new "duke nukem forever delayed" cultists. the one difference though is that people would probably just dissmiss the game for another dirge of cerberus (for those of you who havent played it, dont..period)

Killer Instinct 3. Rare pitched the idea, but for some reason figured that Grabbed by the Ghoulies would be a better idea :?

Thrill Kill, I was really excited when this game was supposed to come out and really upset when I found out that it was completed but was too violent and got canned. Thank you EA!

Battlefield 1942 on the XBOX would've been cool, and way ahead of its time if it had featured XBOX Live support. It's a shame they scrapped it.

Super Mario 128. Though whether it was a gamecube demo or a planned game still kind of confuses me.

Edit: Also, this Kirby game that was supposed to come out for the gamecube.

Here's an obscure one nobody was going to say. Kimba (based on the Osamu Tezuka manga) for the N64. I've seen screenshots for an NES one too, but I'm not entirely sure if it's real.

Also, Herzog Drei. It was going to be on the 32X, but the 32X flopped too soon, and to this day we haven't seen another Herzog game since, not even a rerelease. A damn shame too, as Herzog Zwei was one of the finest games to grace the 16-bit era, as early as 1989 no less!

I remember REALLY looking forward to the Saturn port of Virtua Fighter 3. It would have been so much more impressive than that hack job Virtua Fighter 3tb that Genki released on the Dreamcast.

I've seen this game running and it looks interesting. There are ways to get a copy for yourself.

The Legacy of Kain game that was supposed to come after Legacy of Kain: Defiance. It was canceled so early it never got a name. Dunno if it was because Eidos was having issues, or because the director for the games left for Naughty Dog, but it was a game never meant to be. Which sucks, cause LoK had a great storyline, would have been nice to see it finished.

I remember being dissapointed by so many games being cancelled
But after looking at this list, the first one that comes to mind is demonik. If anyone's seen the movie grandma's boy they know what I'm talking about.

Not that the game had a ton of hype or anything. Just one of the major stars of the movie. It looked freakin' cool from what was shown of it.

Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.2 never did have a sequel finished. I gave up hope a long time ago and I guess Julie Strain's sister will never be rescued.

Never played the original, I'm sure I would have bought this game in some retro shop if it was available.
