Mentioned before and I totally agree, Sonic X-Treme.

 

Probably the biggest nail in the coffin for sega. Sonic pulled in alot of customers for sega consoles, and the saturn really could of used that. Spherical levels way before Super Mario Galaxy too.

 

Also, I swear I heard of a Skies of Arcadia 2 shortly after it was released for the dreamcast and was never heard of again, so I'm presuming thats canned/waiting in the shadows.

They should release Dead Phoenix for Wii! *flap flap*

 

Also, Castlevania Ressurection for Dreamcast.

And Half-Life for Dreamcast (tho i have a downloaded copy of the beta, hehe)

 

Apparently the original N64 Dino Planet's story was a lot more robust before the Starfox characters were thrown into it.

Didn't MGS and GTA also have N64 versions in development at one point?

 

I don't know. :p

 

Wow! If that's true I find that fascinating as well. I didn't know this about several different games. Reading over this thread I had no idea a lot of these games were ever planned!

 

I believe it got ported to the PS1.

 

 

Yeah it ended up being Final Fantasy VII, right? But I'm actually not sure whether it was a game or not that was shown for the N64. Rather more of a tech demo because it had characters from FF VI in it, as far as I remember- but I could be wrong.

 

Ah ok. Thanks. :) Wondered whether what I read was true. So It may have just been a demo, interesting. If it remained on the N64 I would have played it.

 

I'm interested into why they changed consoles. or perhaps they had never truely decided?

 

 

 

 

Looking at the video I can see how it can be viewed as a tech demo or as the beginning's of an actual game.

 

I'm going to look into this more and at other games I never knew existed. :D

as for sonic xtreme it looked terrible lol..

 

seriously.. the draw distance is awful. Ive been hearing about this game for years but compare it to mario 64 which would have been released around the same time. this was Never going to save the saturn.. Nothing could.

 

 

most games are cancelled for a reason not just to piss people off... raven blade looks bad among many others.

not sure about metal gear solid..

 

but an n64 version and even a saturn one was planned for gta.. moreso a saturn one but the console was dying fast. not sure why the n64 one was never made.

Just thought of a couple more:

 

Banjo Pilot (3D version) for GBA, before it reverted to the mode7 Diddy Kong Pilot hack:

 

Fire & Ice - megadrive version, here's some gameplay of the Amiga version. Apparently the megadrive version was completed but never found a publisher.

I'm probably in the minority here but

 

Anachronox 2

 

Especially as it ends on a cliffhanger, and had a really good plot. Such a good plot that it was made into a machima movie and won 3 Awards at the 2002 Machinima Film Festival.
