Top 10: Nintendo Cancelled Games

A Top 10 list full of quality Nintendo titles that were cancelled for one reason or other. The games on the list are taken from all Nintendo Consoles.

man that winter game made me jump at the end.

[SinnedNogara]

Yeah, that was creepy. I wish that game and Red Faction B.E.A.S.T weren't cancelled.

[Myst]

Some of those games look like they would be fun to play. For the most part I'd like to see is for winter to make a comeback. In all honesty I like the artwork it has for the cover. Has a grunge type of look to it which I suppose draws me in to the game. It's reason for cancelling is also rather interesting as well:

"The main reasons cited were the fact that this was too mature of a game for the Wii audience, and with the game being a new IP it would difficult to sell to the public."

I find this to be the problem with some developers, if they are always going to see the Wii as a "Baby's toy" then how will it ever get to that level of having this type of game? *Sigh* hopefully with the introduction of MadWorld and some other games that have an M rating, this game will be brought out. As I'd really like to see something of a grunge feel for the Wii. :)

Winter looks quite good. I think I will sign the petition.

[Myst]

Thank you for pointing out that petition, I must have skimmed over that link. I think I will sign it as well and hopefully it won't be just another internet petition.

[TheColbertinator]

Yup signed it as well.

[SinnedNogara]

I did. I was 10556. Everyone who reads this, try to press the "Agree" button.

Resident Evil 3.5? Wow thats a new one to me

Sad to see Winter and Metroid Dread might never see the light of day

[2FootYard]

Those were some cool looking games.

[Erotic Sheep]

Wow that Resident Evil game actually looks pretty awesome and could have been a hit, even if some stuff was supernatural. And Winter looks freaking awesome, could be a reason for me to get a Wii. The game does look a lot more freaky than Silent Hill Homecoming, tho I'm not sure if this can trumph Silent Hill 2.

[SinnedNogara]

I would love to see all these games come back. Winter would be very cool. I really hope that they bring back Winter and maybe Raven Blade and Dead Pheonix with some sort of online mode like leaderboards or Wii achievements or co-op!! What the heck is 5-Four Horsemen!! I would love to see some gory action on the Wii, and MadWorld is going ot do it.

We need more online games on the Wii. 70% of the 360 games I see at Wal-Mart have XBOX LIVE on the packaging. WTF!!!

[RoseSapphire]

I would do almost anything to have that Resident Evil released. Much like the author of the article, I did like RE4 but it didn't feel like the Resident Evils of old.

[cactuschef]

Dont they mean Wiinter!

Anyways... Resident Eveil "3.5" sounds like it would have been a better game than RE4

[ChickeyCantor]

Dont get why people say Metroid dread was an actuall project, i mean the game was near completion right? Why would they cancel it? doesnt makes freaking sense.

And DEAD PHOENIX LOOKS AWESOME =0

I think RealTek were plotting a Robotech game for the N64 called Crystal Dreams. I remember seeing scans in an old Nintendo Power and I was pumped. It never appeared again, but we did get Battlecry, so I'm all right with that.

Another one was a title called "Riqa", later released as Rogue Ops for the 'cube, Xbox, and PS2. It also appeared in Nintendo Power in the N64 days... it looked like a fairly typical 3rd person shooter, but at the time, seemed pretty fresh. Since it didn't come out until much later, well, it wasn't as fresh anymore.

[razorbladelight]

I remember being excited for Raven Blade. I remember I was really happy when I learned a Str fox 2 had been completed in hopes that it would soon come out in some way shape or form (not just through online emulators).
Good list
