Most of the time we used to hear that games got cancelled because they were going to suck. However, there is a handful of games that we were all excited about, but never came out. What were those games for you?

Let’s kick off this Top 10 feature with something pretty sad. The most important thing is usually to look forward (and not in the past), but this time we won’t do what our mommies told us to do. We take a glimpse back at the games we were excited to play but we never got to because they never came out. Let’s take a look at our Top 10 Cancelled Games!

    Such a shame about Winter, it looked like a interesting game that would have really appealed to me.

    The other games, not so much.

    If that Zelda skinned Starfox game gets in then Earthbound 64 gets in too! Otherwise this article doesn't exist.

      Also, concepts used in Super Mario 64 2 were used in Pikmin and Galaxy.

        Actually, concepts from Super Mario 128 got used in Pikmin and Galaxy, they're seperate things, 2 was a cancelled game, 128 was a tech demo.

      Earthbound 64 = Mother 3. It's technically the exact same game, just a downgrade in graphics.

        Not really. Almost all of the character's appearances changed, and according to Itoi, the ending went through some dramatic changes.

        You might as well call Dinosaur Planet and Star Fox Adventures the same game, but it's on the list.

          That was exactly what I meant when I said If that Zelda skinned Starfox game gets in then Earthbound 64 gets in too!

          If Dinosaur planet is considered cancelled then Earthbound is cancelled tenfold.

      You can play Mother 3 in English but... (I can't explain or I'll get in trouble)

      Mother 3 kicked ass.

    Actually DOES seem interesting, that Winter game. Were those breasts that I saw, near the end? Boobies on the Wii? Seems unlikely....

    Four Horsemen also sounded good enough.

    Seems several of these games aren't for the 'typical' Nintendo audience.

    Winter looked like a cool horror game, but we all know Nintendo don't do well with horrors.

    Hence why its taking them like, a century to let Fatal Frame IV slip over to America / EU.

    Project H.A.M.M.E.R. should have been on this list. It's one of the reasons I even got a Wii.

    Plus it's hard to say that Winter was "cancelled" since it never even got a publisher to begin with.

    Aww SM642 could have been such a great game, SM64 was.
