Uncancelled Games - Back from the dead, vidya zombies

[Dom Cruise]

One prototype apparently got shown off behind closed doors in 2009, it reportedly looked just like Fusion at the time. NST also made a demo, and reportedly was largely the same, that may or may not be the same demo as the 2009 demo, I don't remember when NST supposedly worked on it. At any rate by all accounts it was 2D at this point in development, so whatever issues they were had little to nothing to do with 3D.

That's a shame to think we could have gotten one last 2D Metroid, I wonder what went wrong then?

I wonder if Other M's failure has anything to do with it. They probably wanted to course correct from that trainwreck.

While I dont think it did (Dread probably was delayed hardware woes aside due to the 2d Metroid team dissolving at Nintendo, hence why team ninja was contacted to Metroid in the first place and prime was done because retro was busy working on DK and the prime team also left retro after 3) I do wonder how much "the baby: the video game" cost nintendo since the CGI team Ninja worked with could not have come cheap.

Oh have I got a treat for you.

Infinity (GBC) 11 minutes

Playing the unreleased game Infinity for Game Boy Color for 11 minutes, glitches and all, on the Game Boy Player (hence why the low video quality).More infor...

An incredibly impressive Game Boy Color game that got stalled out at ~90% because they couldn't find a publisher. Now a good chunk of the team that made it is being rounded up to finish that last 10% and sell physical copies of it on Kickstarter.

Surprisingly very little RPGS on the GBC, but I love how it came back with fan support and holy shit that psudo tactics gameplay on the GBC looks like a technical marvel for how smooth it is

PSX Magic Castle

Magic Castle, a multiplayer PS1 Roguelike, currently being worked on by dedicated autists using a NetYaroze devkit, which previously spent decades in development hell. The game is now considered complete except for the unfinished 4-player mode, and is distributed by the developers for free on archive.org to be played on emulators or burned for modded consoles. It's encouraging to see such productive use of the developers' moms' basements.

Anyways here's Propeller Arena
It was a Dreamcast game developed by AM2 (the same division that made Crazy Taxi) and it was made with Online in mind. It's a dogfighting game with a Pop Punk soundtrack with bands like Rise Against on the soundtrack
The game was 98% complete, the only thing that needed to be done was to ship it and turn the online servers on.
Sadly two things happened:

1) the September 11th Attacks (especially since one of the levels takes place in a New York type place)
2) Sega was discontinuing the Dreamcast and felt there was no need to waste resources on the online mode

Game went unreleased until 2004 when one of Sega's American employees leaked it.

You can easily find it online

That's awesome. Still have and love my Dreamcast. Some of the online stuff was truly ahead of its time for consoles.

Well this came back apparently:

Its not "controversial" anymore because the Military industrial complex got their payday out of the middle east and still does fighting the never ending wars. They were just setting them up still back when this was cancelled in the "post 9/11 era"

Can't wait to see how pozzed this is going to be.
