Are you Mario Kinnikuman’s attention? If not I don’t see how you are in a position to make that comment.

Wasn’t there also a Nintendo 64 version of Neon Genesis Evangelion which was cancelled after it’s beta stage?

Ah, The Lost for PS2. Too bad it never made it. It would’ve been an awesome game.

You forgot the biggest loss of all: Xenosaga Episode IV-VI.

SONIC X-TREME IS COOLER THAN U!

You forgot the PS1 games, Thrill Kill is very famous because it was canceled when it was totaly finished, now you can download that game at snesorama.us, burn it and see the bloody galore

How many volumes was Shenmue supposed to be? 6-12? Something like that.

It’s a shame they can’t even make a third. 🙁

There’s a good reason why C&C Renegade 2 was cancelled. lol Lame game

If I remember correctly, Shenmue was going to be about 12 chapters. Shenmue was chapter 1 and 2, Shenmue II was chapters 3 – 8, and the third installment was to finish the series.

I hope that one day, the final installment of Ryo Hazuki is told.

Wasn’t there also a Nintendo 64 version of Neon Genesis Evangelion which was cancelled after it’s beta stage?

Actually, it was only released in japan. I’ve played the Rom for it, it was really irritating.

Don’t forget Starfox 2 for the SNES. I was really looking forward to that one before it was canceled.

I really wish Castlevania: Resurrection wasn’t cancelled for the Dreamcast. The soundtrack alone kicks ass. And it looked promising from the screens I’ve seen.

Thunder Force VI, also for the Dreamcast, would’ve been a dream come true had it not been cancelled. It too had an awesome soundtrack going for it.

I’m still waiting for Shenmue III, which I hope hasn’t been cancelled. Ryo needs to confront Lan Di and avenge his father!

There was a game called Meowth’s Party scheduled for release on the Gamecube. It featured Meowth from Pokemon and early screenshots showed him playing an electric guitar.

What a game that could have been 🙁

didnt they just rename that the wu-tang clan: bring the pain?

(did anyone ever have the limited edition controller for that, wow)

What about Nights into Dreams 2 that was supposed to be released on the Xbox, and Dreamcast IIRC? I don’t know about anyone else, but I was super excited about it.

Wasn’t there also a Nintendo 64 version of Neon Genesis Evangelion which was cancelled after it’s beta stage?
It was never canceled.

Mother 3 (Earthbound 2) for N64DD (now it’s on GBA) was one looking forward too. At least, theres work on trying to revive that version.
Mmm…or any N64DD game for that matter.

Are you Mario Kinnikuman’s attention? If not I don’t see how you are in a position to make that comment.

I wasnt trying to be mean I was just saying that there was a game that he did not have one the list. I cant make a single comment on this forum without getting yell at. What happened to Freedom of Speech?

I thought that was the closing theme for the Japanese version of pokemon? (not that I care about pokemon since I was irritated by a troll at AB4D, but I’ve seen the video clip somewhere).

In any case tho, at least Mother 3 is finally out albeit for the GBA. Too bad it’ll probably not see light of day in English.

Or so (http://starmen.net/devotion/) you think (http://www.mother3.org/)

Officially? I doubt it…

Well at least many of the games were eventually continued on later consols. So don’t lose hope. I kinda wish Obi-wan wasn’t an Xbox exclusive game. You didn’t mention many PC games. SCGhost was possibly one of the angrier losses with the whole 6 year drag.

You forgot the biggest loss of all: Xenosaga Episode IV-VI.
oh.. and Omigosh! Xenosaga Episode IV-VI? Where did you hear about that?

The series was originally envisioned with six main titles. It was cut back to 3 after the commercial and critical failure of Xenosaga Episode II.

I liked Ep. II. More than Ep. I.

HKP, you are correct. I forgot to put in the word "officially". Thank you for correcting me.

Star Craft Ghost in PS2? Can’t be.

Luigi�s Mansion – (Project transferred to Gamecube)
Super Mario 64 2 – (Development was cancelled very early with only a single demo level created.)

Holy shit – they would’ve been awesome on the 64.

I liked Ep. II. More than Ep. I.
Episode II was the game that got me into the series (besides Xenogears). I don’t think it’s an overly bad game by any means, despite some rather frustrating flaws. I do, however, consider it to be at least somewhat inferior to the other two.

This brings to mind a very old tidbit I remembered from WAY back in the day, in a cancelled game special issue of "Gamepro". I recall mention of a cancelled "Green Lantern" game for the SNES. Which would’ve been interesting, if there had been any sort of development for it.
