TVGB: "I don't think there's any argument against the need and desire for darker, more mature games on Wii. Unfortunately, publishers just don't want to roll the dice and take a chance on pushing dark and scary content to the happy, white box of familial joy."
If you have the opportunity over the next few months, fire up any of these nostalgic N64 titles and have yourself a jolly time rolling around in the virtual snow.
Get in the mood for Christmas here at TDS!
Bright Hub looks back at history and brings you the top 15 canceled games. Sadly, despite showing all of the potential in the world, these promising titles never made it to video game systems. (Part 3)
I can't stress enough how much I would have liked to play Dead Phoenix. Heck, I would have liked to play Dead Rush and Winter too! At least there's still a glimmer of hope for Winter to go back into development. A very slight glimmer...
Shenmue III ? WTF that game wasn't canned it hasn't even been announced and I am sure that the Developers have said they would like to make it
Shenmue III was indeed canceled. Funding issues and Shenmue II's poor sales all contributed to this. Director Yu Suzuki had plans for a sequel, but there were several things keeping it from ever surfacing, with the aforementioned two being primary reasons. Suzuki has expressed interest in releasing the game someday, but whether it'll happen or not is up in the air.
Well, if you were wondering whether it was actually confirmed, here's your proof:

Though the budget issues are technically unconfirmed, it's all we have to go by. I mean, it's been close to 10 years since the game was confirmed, and we still haven't seen it yet. Yeah, it's most likely canned.
Same here. Imagine how awesome it would be to play it on 360 or PS3! Here's hoping!
Two years ago? So it was essentially way ahead of the curve of the likes of Fatal Frame 4, Cursed Mountain, The Calling, and Lit? Wow, that's a real bummer.
Geez that is a shame as it does look pretty cool.
You know if this ain't coming to the Wii they should consider using the PSN.
I know Nintendo fans would disagree but I'm looking at a perceptive of games in general. There is no need for a potentially interesting title like this to remain in the hollows of never being released.
The PSN is a viable service for a title like this. It would also allow the developers to get some capital back instead of having their money and time wasted.
This game instantly reminded me of Silent Hill 2, which is a good thing! The Wii definatly needs a game like this to bring people like myself, who own a wii, but it has been on the shelf collecting dust since Twilight Princess was finished, back into using the damn thing.
A Publisher needs to pick this up since it could only do them good from what I can tell. And also, Geist was definatly an under-rated game on the GameCube, it didn't get enough love.
this game look sick and any console would love to have it.
so all I can say is SEGA PLEASE PUBLISH THIS LIKE THE CONDUIT!!!!
