Which cancelled video game do you wish had not been cancelled?

[ananag112]

There are many games on my list, but the one that stands out is BattleBots the video game that was supposed to have come out for the Xbox and GameCube. It was cancelled because it had a few bugs in it and BattleBots had a few legal troubles (which is also why the show was cancelled). The game still has a chance to come out as BattleBots has won the case in court and they will start the show up again soon. So which cancelled video game do you wish had not been cancelled?

[xspeedracerx]

Sam and Max: Freelance Police, and also the new Full Throttle.

[opportunity777]

True Fantasy Live Online .... eventhough I hate monthly fees

[zewone]

Wasnt there a big thread like this not to long ago. Either way I would have to say True Fantasy Live Online, Sonic Xtreme, and Castlevania DC.

[ananag112]

BC should be added to my list as well. And also Earthbound 64.

[camoor]

I want an Aeon Flux game. It needs to get uncancelled.

[Chris Dillon]

well i wanted red dead revolver for a long time but it came out which is cool with me. that was one of my most anticipated games that i thought would never come out.

[cheapass Gundam]

Illbleed 2.

[zionoverfire]

Sam and Max: Freelance Police, and also the new Full Throttle.

Same here, I'm quite pissed at Lucas Arts for taunting us like that. :x

Yes someone else besides me feels battlebots shouldnt have been cancelled.

Ditto. I wish Sam and Max had made it. Instead we'll get yet another shitty Star Wars game, too.

[jmcc]

I was under the impression that True Fantasy Live Online was back from the dead. Also, that it had been chillin' at the beach down at Club Med.

I am pretty sure they are going to revive it, but I don't think it should have been canned in the first place.

[Kaijufan]

There was a 2d SNES Godzilla fighting game that was released in Japan and was going to come over to America, but for some reason the American release was cancelled. Maybe Ill download it someday.

[H-Town Info]

[Kyattsuai]

Unity for GC

[FriskyTanuki]

Be glad that the Full Throttle sequel was cancelled, even the developers of it were glad that it was. Just think why it was.

I'll always be saying the US version of Shenmue 2, which was cancelled and moved to Xbox weeks before it's release. I was excited and willing to go buy it when it was released, then reading that bit of news completely ruined my day.

[OiBoy]

A cancel blast from the past: Star Trek: Secret of Vulcan Fury. While not a trekkie, back in the day, the demo reels for that game looked incredible.

And of course including some recent cancels like Sam 'N Max.

[tcrash247]

Dead Rush was sounding pretty sweet. GTA meets Dawn of the Dead.

[twiztidjester]

thrill kill

yea it sucks they caned it have you played it?

[ww3676]

Too Human- a cyberpunk type game that was in development for PS1 for like 4 years, then Silicon Knights got bought out and the game is in "development hell". Last I heard, it wasn't cancelled, but there has been no news on it in like 2-3 years so I can only assume that it's done for...

[bboynujen]

thrill kill

yea it sucks they caned it have you played it?

i downloaded a copy years back and from what i remember it wasn't too great...should have been released anyways, it was finished afterall...

[danny-o]

Propeller arena. Luckily my friend downloaded it an I am about to play it tonight. but now theres no damn online play. stupid sega bastards.

[Rozz]

I heard both Full Throttle and Vectorman were cancelled because the developers even admitted that they werent good games. But Sam & Max is one I wanted to come out. Oh well.

[worx]

Dead Rush was sounding pretty sweet. GTA meets Dawn of the Dead.

Whoa - they canceled this game?! I had no idea...now i'm depressed. It did look awesome when I read about it in OXM

[fillican]

Earthbound 64!!!!

[chickenhawk]

The Red Star.

[GenDV138]

Shenmue 2 on Dreamcast even though I imported the EU version after finding out it was cancelled in the US.

[Johnnyb]

The Red Star and BC althought I have heard both may make it out in 2005. hopefull we'll see some resurections this year of dead games we all wanted. Also Tork , but it is oming in a couple of weeks now. At least one of my 3 will make it for sure.

[michael6668]

Sadly, now Sega's ESPN NFL 2K6 thanks to those greedy bastards at EA . :evil:

[Scahom1]

Shenmue II for Dreamcast. Shenmue 1 was the reason why I bought the Dreamcast, and I had to wait like 2 more years before I played the sequel on the XBOX.

I was also upset that Half-Life DC was canceled even though the game was completed.

[phatbunbao]

i was researching kung fu chaos and stumbled upon this and now im more pissed theres not goin to be a sequel. http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/6835/Kung-Fu-Story-The-Sequel-That-Never-Was/

[coolcps]

EB64 comes to mind first.

[skinsfan56la]

Chrono Break or whatever the next chrono trigger sequel.

[hiccupleftovers]

Sam and Max
Full Throttle
BC
Earthbound 63
Mother 1 + 2 for GBA
Unity
Chrono Break (sounded like another Chrono game but I guess we'll never know as Square lost the rights to it.)

Amen to that, brotha.

Earthbound 63

I was much more excited for Earthbound 64 and the 64DD, though the 64DD was one of the worst ideas.

Also, D2 for the M2 - I know it came out for the Dreamcast later, but I was really curious what the hell Matsushita was planning with the M2, and I was kinda pissed that it never got made.

[AdamInPlaidum]

I was really interested in Giftpia for the Cube, but it got canned for American release, and apparently has much too much text to import. :-/

[smellhasreturned]

/flameshield on

The XFL Video game.

they were gonna make one !? damn i would have bought it even if it sucked

[CaptainSniffy]

Propeller Arena and the Dreamcast Online servers in general. I think I'd curl up and die if XBox Live were discontinued: I live for online console play.

[scargums]

raven blade

dead phoenix

oh, and although it isnt official, i assume sega wont be able to continue making their stellar ESPN NFL games due to EA, so i count those as cancelled. and they will be missed...

[peteloaf]

Robotech Crystal Dreams for N64 - seem as if it would actualy be good unlike the recent games, grumble grumble

[Richlough]

Half Life DC [US]

I was under the impression that True Fantasy Live Online was back from the dead. Also, that it had been chillin' at the beach down at Club Med.

Paul's Boutique -- My favorite album of all time .

I wish it would get remastered, because I personally think it's mixed too low, but it can never ever be, since the cost of having to pay for all the samples would be crushing. Also, I'm going to play HL for the DC right now, because playing is for pleasure.

[hiccupleftovers]

Earthbound 63

It must have been. IIRC Someone posted a link to an Ebay auction for one here a week or two ago.

[Parathod]

I want an Aeon Flux game. It needs to get uncancelled.

I'll sign the petition. Though it would be kind of useless if they release it on the PS1.

[Trakan]

TFLO and B.C.

[ValkyrieVF-1S]

Robotech: Crystal Dreams for the n64
Macross VFX2 for the psone

[stocker08]

i have to say Re-Volt for Xbox.......i loved the PC version, this one would have been great!

I also have to agree with an earlier poster about Fear Effect : Inferno. Man I wanted that game.

[ValkyrieVF-1S]

Propeller Arena (dc)

The sad thing about it, is that the game was pretty much complete. The game played really good and the music rocked. Too bad sega never released it. :roll:

[The_Way_of _Peace]

It had some thing to do with the four horseman of the apocalypse but i can not remember the title. It was shown in game informer one issue and then i think a few months later the company that was making it(3do?) closed

It may not be completely dead after all.

[pumbaa]

Dead Phoenix. That game looked cool as hell. Cooler when it looked like it might turn into Kid Icarus... oh well... so much for the Capcom5.

[Azul_KoolAid]

True Fantasy Live Online-I needed to play a MMORPG and I'm wasn't going to pay $100 plus monthly fees for FFXI. I think it'll come out for the Xbox2/Xenon. Microsoft knows how much $$$ they could make with a MMORPG other than PSO

Red Star- I never read the comic but I'm a sucker for a good beat 'em up and this looked promising. Heard it may come out this year. So, both of the games I want might come out...one day.

[c]

Buggie Boogie for N64 - build your own dune buggy and kill your friends!
Creator for N64 - Part of the 64DD Mario Paint quadrilogy. Basically, create your own game and play it.
64DD - Nintendo peripherals like this NEVER come to the US!! I really wish it would have done well... I was excited about the possibilites.

And I too am kinda upset about Fear Effect: Inferno, mostly because the graphics in those games were amazing.

And of course, STAR FOX 2 for SNES! *cry* Why was it canceled?!?!

I also wish they would have brought Terranigma and Seiken Densetsu 3 to the US...

[Kulock]

Darn, right at the last reply, now I look unoriginal. ;P

But yeah, Star Fox 2. The game was virtually finished (prototype ROMs are now available on the net, and people from CES recalled being able to beat it without issues), but Nintendo decided that it was too late in the SNES's life to profit, so they shifted focus on Star Fox 64, which was good, but "more of the same." Star Fox 2 had completely free-range battles, and shorter missions, but with more things going on (you had to keep an eye on Corneria to keep it from being too damaged by enemy attacks as you made your progress). It would've been very cool, and heck, still kind of is. Wish they'd do a GBA or DS port of Star Fox and include Star Fox 2 as a bonus.

People also swear by Treasure's Sin and Punishment for the N64, I've yet to play it myself because it was never released in the US (and I just haven't dug up the ROM).

TFLO and Four Horsemen are both interesting as well, and I'm glad both might still be potentially coming out, especially True Fantasy.

[Dwapook]

Trigun
Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans
EarthBound64
Sam and Max 2

Feel like I'm forgetting some..

[DigitalSpace]

There was a 2d SNES Godzilla fighting game that was released in Japan and was going to come over to America, but for some reason the American release was cancelled. Maybe Ill download it someday.

According to Digital Press (http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/game.cmf?gameid=160989), it was called Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters.

Anyways, Taz Express for the N64 comes to mind. I remember reading about it in Nintendo Power. For some reason it never got released. Earthbound 64 would have been nice too.

Also, I heard that at one point there was a sequel to Rock N Roll Racing in development for the Playstation. I wonder how that would have turned out.

[Lord Draconus777]

Man, back when I first got my PSX in winter of 1997, I got this bitchin' demo disc with some cool demos on it, most notably Intelligent Qube (the closest I'll ever come to owning this legendary game untill it's rereleased or I get to importing the PS2 remix version). Anyway, on this disc, you could press the shoulders buttons on the certain games in the game selections to get codes to unlock bonus things in the disc, one which is a movie of a game called Exodus. This game looked like one of the most bad ass games ever, but it was apparently never released anywhere, as there are no articles for it anywhere on the internet. Does anyone know what game I'm talking about? The protagonist was apparently a robot who could change forms at will could use cool looking weapons. This was on one of the earlier psx demo discs that only had that big selections of games when it loaded up rather than the menus in jampack discs. If anyone can find some information about this, I'd be very happy.

Mother 3/Earthbound 64 isn't dead, it's being planned for a release later this year on the GBA. Whether it actually makes it over to NA though is a different story...

I'm looking around for info on the Dragon Force Sega Ages PS2 remake and aren't coming up with much, so I'll go with that. It's not like it will come over here even if it IS made in Japan, though, so it's moot.

[fragmanslayer]

I actually had a copy of thrill kill. Wish I still had it, would it be worth much today.

Not really. It's freely available through secret, illegal channels.

[coolsteel]

Robotech: Crystal Dreams for the n64
Macross VFX2 for the psone


Those are my two as well, though i'm fairly sure Crystal dreams would have stunk I still would have wanted to play it. I did get a chance to play Macross Vf-X2, the game was awesome, a real shame it never came out over here.

I'm fairly sure that the Godzilla 2d fighting game came out in the US on the Turbo Duo. I'm at work so I can't direct link, but go to the following link, click PC-FX TV, and watch episode 4.

I checked my PSX Sampler Disc from like 1997 (Ver. 3.5), and Exodus wasn't on there... I also checked gameFAQs, and it came up with one Japanese Exodus game that seemed too anime-influenced to have anything to do with super transforming robots. Just wanted to let you know that I wanted to make you happy but failed. =D
