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

[Emuaust]

No. It was canceled at the last minute. I'm not sure if the version floating around on the internet is final or a very late beta, but it was definitely not released.

There is a DP member who has/had access to a pressed sealed US copy of Half Life wasn't there...

[phreak97]

I'd love Half Life for dreamcast too.
also Metal Arms 2
.. a new half life game of any kind.. lol.
a proper rare sequel to goldeneye
goldeneye as dlc for 360 (was announced, made, and cancelled)

Can't quite remember. I know there's been rumours/claims of several people owning copies. I suppose if they were pressed, ready for release then a few copies would have made their way out.

The odd thing is that Chester Field actually got a US port to c64.

Well, I am surprised that C64 got this! I have to say it looks pretty good for a C64 game. The NES should have gotten this game. The Famicom version looks great!!

I wish that Dominus would have been released for the genesis as it was supposed to be. Any game that allows you to torture the enemy for information can't be all bad.

Super Mario Wacky Worlds CDI
Earthbound 64

Fire Emblem 64!

And the much rumoured Shining Force III port to the Dreamcast.

the unofficial Chrono Trigger follow up that got cancelled

On that note, the Chrono ressurection or whatever it was called remake of CT that Square put down a few years back

I would have liked to see Power Drift for Sega CD, Dracula X and Soul Star for 32X, Shenmue for Saturn, and, let's see, Soul Reaver 2, Max Payne, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Toe Jam & Earl 3, Chakan: The Forever Man, and especially Armada 2 for Dreamcast.

advent rising 2 - the original is still one of my favorite games ever. it did 'force powers' 3 years before force unleashed and implemented them way, way better. unfortunately, its sales stunk, so majesco canceled the sequel. sucks doubly because it ends on a cliffhanger.

Neo Turf Masters 2 on NeoGeo

For me, it would be Super Mario 64 2. Still to this day do I ponder and question of what would have resulted. Ever since the first announcement of it, have I eagerly anticipated the release of this game, but I slowly lost hope of its avail when the Disk drive didn't come to America.

I think some concepts planned for SM642 ended up in the DS port of SM64, because I remember interviews with Miyamoto where he said he wanted multiple playable characters and such. Don't think we'll ever know though.

My biggest wait for a cancelled game was Robotech 64. Goddamn I wanted that game so bad. Even if it looked worse as time went on I would've been first in line for that game if it got released.

Would've liked to see Kirby Air Ride 64, too. GCN version was changed a lot and kinda sucked.

Darkstalkers vs Guilty Gear, if that ever went past concept anyways.

Would've liked to see how that Hellraiser NES game would've turned out. Wasn't it supposedly using this really advanced chip or something? All the stories I read about it were ridiculous.

The funny thing about 40 Winks was that it was cancelled after NP and Nintendo Official Magazine gave it a review. Not only that, but they used a blurb from a review ("Move over Mario") in the magazine ad for the game, which was advertised as Playstation-exclusive at the time. And not only that, but said ad got printed in NP. So NP had this ad for a Playstation game that claimed to be better than Mario from a Nintendo source. I don't think NP was too happy about that one...

Mega Man Anniversary Collection (GBA) - Not a huge loss considering it was just a compilation but I was sad when it got canned.

I had this preordered from Gamestop since it was first announced. Was never able to get my money back from Gamestop because the game was removed from the system as well as off my preorder list.

It would have cost GameStop a LOT more than that preorder did if that were me.

Mega Man Anniversary Collection for GBA, I remember calling the store the day it was supposed to be released and being disapointed that it wasn't released.

[StealthLurker]

The Pocky n Rocky/Kiki Kaikai remake starfish was originally planning.... instead of what it ended up being (Heavenly Guardian).

Seriously, what the fuck? That's outright theft. The preorder receipt should have been enough.

Armada 2 for Xbox and Dronez for the Dreamcast.

Dronez was one of the contributing factors to my wanting a Dreamcast. Both were originally slated for Dreamcast releases. Dronez actually made it to the Xbox, but only in Japan. And PC owners who bought a Geforce 3 gfx card, back in the day, also got a copy of Dronez, but I don't even remember seeing the PC version ever hitting store shelves.

Armada is one of my favorite Dreamcast titles. When they announced that Armada 2 was coming to the Xbox with online play, I immediately pre-ordered it. About a year and a half later, they announce it's cancellation. Needless to say, I was very upset, but I kinda expected it, because the original game wasn't exactly a hit..

This too...

EDIT: Oh, and Bio Force Ape, since it's somewhat of a legend, around here...
