What canceled/unreleased game would you like to see the light of day the most?

Sonic Xtream - The lack of a real sonic game on the Saturn coupled with my own ignorance of the console.

Starfox 2 - A good game close to release caned by Nintendo's obsession with image.

I am also fascinated with all of the unreleased games for the 32x.

[Callin]

Definitely the 3D version of Mother 3. There was so much that didn't appear in the final game - a beach town, creatures, and even a different ending. I'd like to see what was originally planned.

The Twin Peaks game for NES , but to be honest I don't think they ever even started it .Would also like to see if the Friday the 13th game for the Sega CD got off the ground . The game that most likely was at least started that I would like to try would be the Snake Plissken/Escape from NY game .

Never heard of A Friday the 13th game planed for the sega-cd.Just a guess,It would of probably been some crappy,grainy fmv type game.
I was disappointed that the escape game never got released.I was always A Fan of John carpenters Escape From New York,not so much A fan Of Escape From la.
A few other games off the top of my head-
Macross 2036-Turbo Grafx 16
Snatcher-Turbo Grafx 16
Eternal Champions-Sega Saturn
StatCraft Ghost-Gamecube

You know, I really would have loved to have seen the Saturn version of Blood Omen; Legacy of Kain release. The game was finished but Crystal Dynamics were never able to find a publisher. Very sad in the end. I really wonder what the differences would have been between it and the PSX release.

Since it hasn't been mentioned in this topic, I can't avoid bringing up the topic of Yeah Yeah Beebiss I (NES).

It appeared in a few mail-order ads in 1989, and no one seems to know anything about it other than that. There are no previews, no screenshots, no known developers, no anything except a name. The game may not have ever actually existed, but I want to see it if it did. I just want to know what it was.

Years ago I read in the Summer 1987 edition of NINTENDO FUN CLUB NEWS that SNK was planning to release the arcade game PSYCHO SOLDIER for the NES. Unfortunately It never saw the light of day (although it's "prequel" Athena made it).

Since then I don't think a home console version of that game has ever been released. And I so dearly loved the arcade game! Please SNK, release it on an arcade compilation disc for a current gen system ... or I'll even take a virtual console download!!:(

Colin McRae Rally 2.0 for the Dreamcast

Skies of Arcadia: Search for the Black Moon (or whatever the title would have been)

and

Homeworld 2: Dust Wars (supposedly completed/close)

T*Mek and Soulstar (Jaguar)
Rip Cord and Tunnels & Trolls (ColecoVision)
Sadness (Wii)
Elite (NES) or Darxide (32X) in NTSC... surely this was planned at some point?
Faceball 2000 (Virtual Boy)
Starcraft Ghost (Still hoping they'll come back to this)
Unnamed Aliens RPG that Sega was working on (Still disappointed this was cancelled... maybe they'll change their minds)
Marble Madness 2 (Arcade)

Luckily, miracles do happen, as one of the games that I would have included in my list was recently released! (http://songbird-productions.com./robreq.shtml)

I played the beta/prototype/whatever of Virtua Hamster, and I'm starting to wonder if it would have been anything worthwhile after all.

Shenmue III

[Aussie2B]

Well, I suppose now we can add Mega Man Legends 3 to this topic. :/

I own an NTSC prototype copy of Elite for the NES. It's a WIP according to the title screen and appears to have suffered from bit rot. I purchased it from a former RARE developer.

Colin McRae Rally 2.0 for the Dreamcast
This was planned/in the works? It might have been pretty good although there were plenty of rally/racing games on Dreamcast already. I bet it would've been a nice improvement over PS1.

X-Women looks interesting although the name is a bit strange, maybe that's one reason it never came out even though it's a poor one at best.

They were very close to releasing it but cancelled it at the last minute.

I was extremely pissed off. I've only pre-ordered two games in my life: Final Fantasy 7 and this.

Edit: The Sega Dreamcast cancelled wiki called it Colin McRae Rally w/o the 2.0 but I remember clearly that it was indeed 2.0 they were working on.

Monkey Island 5

I know they released those Monkey Island episodes (I think there were 5 all together?) but I really wanted a PC disc/s to load and play. I love this series and highly anticipated #5 after barreling my way through Escape from Monkey Island. And even though the website promised us another sequel, we never saw it until they released the episodes last year (which just doesn't feel the same if you ask me).

That might be the case. It would also explain why we never got WNBA Jam or Ms. Pit Fighter.

Propeller Arena on Dreamcast
The finished version has been floating around the internet for quite some time... you can very easily burn it to a disc and play it on a real system.

You could even make your own inserts and CD label like this guy (http://www.flickr.com/photos/29677330@N02/2779976942/).
