BarryH found that Gamekult has archived the Landstalker PSP art. As you can see, it was meant to come out in 2006, so...it's pretty likely that it's cancelled. The only other shown products of this venture were a looping video of a mountain redone in 3D, and a large diorama at TGS, which was pretty neat
The SNES’s success in the console war (it sold like 20 million more systems, that’s a win) meant that many games on the Sega Genesis never got as much positive attention as they should have. Whether they were not well-known or received a poor rating in light of the existence of competing SNES games at the time, some really good games slipped through the cracks.
Comix Zone is criminally underrated. It's definitely on my top 10 list of Genesis games. Landstalker was pretty cool as well along with Beyond Oasis. It felt like Sega's take on LOZ. Made me enjoy the game even more. That and the art style.
Sega Genesis had a handful of outstanding RPGs like Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force II. Outside of the very best examples, many of the Sega Genesis RPGs did not get the amount of recognition they deserved.
Yes OMG.. I didn't know it was called this.. In Europe it was called Soleil.
I remember restarting it as soon as I finished it..
Story of Thor, Light Crusader deserve a special mention!!!
Hell yes.. I remember reading about that code in a gaming magazine when I was a kid, lol
GameDynamo - "I read somewhere that there is a study that says violent video games like Modern Warfare 2 can help kids with their math scores. How shooting people between the eyes and blowing them to kingdom come relates to long divisions I’ll never understand, but I digress. I, in all my infinite wisdom, am going to explain why the opposite must be true when it comes to role-playing games. Just read what I have to say, and then watch your child. If they play too much Final Fantasy, you might need to save up some bail money. Here are five reasons RPGs will land your child in the pokey!"
After reading this, I can only reply by rolling my hands across my keyboard with my fingers curled under the palms to mimic the wild gesticulations of a retarded chimpanzee.

real shame its been cancelled
I wonder if there is any chance of this game getting uncanceled. Seeing as the PSP is selling really well in Japan right now I could see Landstalker being a big hit. Also I want to play this too. I loved playing it back on the Genesis and I know I would love this remake too.
This game would kick serious ass. I loved the original and I've actually been replaying Alundra the last few weeks. The Climax team rules. Just too bad it's been canceled.
Holy carp! I can't believe I missed out such great game back in the day! I would have loved to play this 3D remake. I just wish they would tell us why it got canceled.
For anyone who hasn't seen the psp remake, here is the trailer from a few years back.
