Tyler, I was born in 91’ and my first console was the SNES. I remember beating Super Mario World when I was 4-5 years old. Thank you for sharing your home videos on RUclips. I can heavily relate to your content. I know your dad would be happy to have his home videos viewed on RUclips with over ten million views. “That’s enough to make a grown man cry” - Dad
We have got to be brothers with the same age group, with the same system and beating the same game at the same age. Next ill suppose youll tell me your birthday is april 5th lol
@@ArchangelRG09 June 14th we are definitely still brothers regardless. I also remember beating Legend of Zelda Link to the Past when I was five years old too.
@theend5497 now that one i cant relate, the first zelda game i had was Ocarina, my younger cousin had lttp. Ashamed to admit, i didnt think much of lttp since i thought Link looked like Dopey the Dwarf lol but boy was i wrong later in life when i actually played the masterpiece
Also born in '91 here, and seriously loved the good old days when I could let my imagination go wild, and a huge letdown was no Banjo-Threeie. If Microsoft didn't buy Rare, that would've been different, but sadly the game never came to be...
@@ArchangelRG09 I also loved the gameboy color of LOZ oracle of ages and seasons were really good handheld games. I will also say that I grew up watching Spider-Man 94’. I think it’s the best Spider-Man series. I remember I never played Ocarina of Time but I beaten it in 2019. Lol
I found a 1994 raincheck pre-order for Lethal Enforcers 2 for the SNES from 1994 while cleaning out parents house in 2010. It was an old west game based on the first game. It ultimately released on the genesis but not snes.
I cry everytime I watch your videos. Lost all my Christmas/birthday footage in storage or just weren’t properly labeled to know what I was looking for. Watching your videos are always fulfilling.
Blame Keiji Inafune. He left Capcom out of nowhere and left them in the dust. I don't blame Capcom for not taking a risk on a project when the dude overseeing said project quit randomly. From the outside we can all say we would have bought MML3, but at the time Capcom wasn't doing great financially and a lot of their games were underselling.
Hey, that Tiger GameCom Castlevania SotN is shockingly pretty good!! An unfinished build leaked last year and despite not releasing, it was nearly finished!
I'm old. I remember hearing the news that Starfox 2 was coming to the SNES. Imagine my dismay to hear that the completed game wouldn't see the light of day. Thank goodness the SNES mini came out. It wasn't as polished as I had hoped, but I kind of expected that since it was scrapped so many years ago I also remember that two Mega Man titles were about to be scrapped on the SNES. Mega Man 7 and Mega Man X3 almost didn't happen. They were saved after being shown at the first ever E3 in the mid 90s. It was noted that there was still some interest in the Mega Man series. I really miss E3
I was a huge fan of Eternal Champions for the Sega Genesis as a kid. Somehow... it had this uniqueness that was undiscovered compared with its competitors, Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat...
Mine was Half Life 1 on the Dreamcast. I went all the way to FYE with my savings on the day of "release" only to be met with a poster of the game outside the store.. further peaking my excitement, then finding out inside that they didn't have it.
When Mega Man Legends 3 got canceled back in 2011, that really hurt my feeling. just like Shemue 2 for the Dreamcast, The story of Megaman Legends series was not finished and Mega Man legends 3 could've been an opportunity the finished the storyline properly. Megaman legends 2 is one of games that needs a sequel.
The one cancelled game I wanted has to be Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution. The game was announced on March 2003, but never saw the light of day, and from everything I've seen, it looked quite promising. The graphics looked gorgeous, the mechanics looked interesting and fun, but sadly, development would be halted by 2004 when it was half finished. We did eventually get Shantae: Risky's Revenge and later sequels, but they're not quite the same, as Shantae Advance was more like Shantae GBC in terms of overall charm. But on the bright side, something unexpected happened, at LRG3 2023, Shantae Advance would be announced, as a full native GBA game, and seeing that announcement trailer shocked me, as Mr. Bozon got some of the original team to finish Shantae Advance using the tools, assets and source code from the GBA era, and the game in the LRG3 trailer looked pretty much identical to the 2003 screenshots. Long story short: Shantae Advance getting cancelled was devastating, but it's now coming back as a full game somehow, and will bridge the gap between GBC and Risky's Revenge.
Hey Tyler, you should definitely make a part 2. Surely there had to have been more cancelled games you were looking forward to playing at the time; but couldn't, because the got cancelled.
If you're going to talk about California Raisins you have to also mention Yo! Noid, another Capcom game that latched on to the 90s marketing campaign and mascot for Dominos Pizza.
For me it was Secret of Mana 2/Seiken Densetsu 3… That one hurt so bad! I loved Secret of Mana so, so much, and Secret of Mana 2 was in magazines being previewed since it was out in Japan already, showing off amazing artwork and the ridiculously awesome-looking characters, so to say that I was super hyped would be an understatement. So from then on I kept checking for it, hoping to see more and more of it each month until release, but then it was just radio silence and I started calling all the stores and asking etc. I couldn’t accept that it just seemingly disappeared from being released and nobody knew anything about this… then sometime a few years later in middle school I saw in a gaming magazine that it got canceled over here in place of Secret of Evermore… which I also loved lol. But yeah it was salt in the wound to see it again and learn of its fate. Then a couple years later I found out about emulation and finally got to play it smile😊…but it wasn’t the same experience at all I would’ve had playing it legit if it was released. Crazy to think nowadays that Seiken Densetsu 3 was held back from us!
My biggest disappointment was Killer Instinct never coming out at home for the Ultra 64. We were promised an exact arcade port and we never got it. I didn't get to play it until 7-8 years later in 2002 via modded OG Xbox.
Agreed ! I hyped up the 64 and Killer Instinct saying it’s going to destroy anything PS and Sega throws out to my friends . My friends gave me lots of crap years later for that to this days lol .
The only cancelled game I ever wanted was Nightmare Creatures 3, I was a huge fan of that series and definitely the target audience, I loved the design of the monsters and just loved the games in general, and I saw the trailer when it first was revealed and got really excited. Not so long after, Kalisto Entertainment went bankrupt, it was devastating.
Tyler, you must have to have the best, most interesting channel on this entire platform. The memories, the way you have unlocked all of our memories by sharing these amazing videos. I wish my family had a video camera around for all of these important memories, but you have definitely helped me reminisce back to the good old days where everything was so magical and fun
Atari Jaguar's BLACK ICE / WHITE NOISE. This game legit looked 64-bits (the developers took the Atari Jaguar and actually utilized the hardware). This game would have been awesome... if it had been released. Why didn't it release? It was being developed as Atari was slowly going out of business. Development stopped when Atari imploded. There is a playable build of the game online (it's NOT complete, but from what they completed, BLACK ICE / WHITE NOISE is cool).
For me it’s two games that you mentioned eternal champions on the Sega Saturn, that was the reason why I chose to buy a Sega Saturn!!!. I hope this brings you comfort, when it was canceled I called up Sega and cursed out the person who answered the complaint line (I was around 13 at a time) and Castlevania on the Dreamcast I was really looking forward to that game. And you’re right I did play it and I agree with everything you said about the tech demo I think it could’ve been something really special as well. But anyway great video keep up the good work
honestly that Starcraft Ghost game on OG Xbox looked good and almost finished, a cool stealth action game as that Ghost character would have been fun at the time.
I'm not sure about universe looked but the idea lives on in Mega Man Maker fan game. They even ran it at SGDQ recently. Sonic Xteme hurts a bit because some concept art shows that Sally Acorn might have been game at some point.
One I remember seeing and wanting was a game called B.C. on the og xbox. You played as a caveman in what looked like an open world with dinosaurs. It looked like a great game but for whatever reason it was canceled and never came out.
I always wanted Black & White for the PS1 as a kid. I remember buying the official playstation magazine in the UK that had it as the main feature on the front cover. It never came out in the end. I did get it on PC but always wondered how that ps1 version would have played
Tylor my Buddy 😅 My future wife ( hopefully ) literally decorate my gift cards with you mentioned all over … you became part of our relationship and although it does not meen to much to you just image what your paps meant to you and how much your little princess means to you … you are doing the exact same thing to me and I really appreciate it , I started collecting retro “replica” consoles … one day ill collect the real deal .. just need to get my studies car ect paid off first . Thank you for everything you do for me … you might not know this but you gave me a new hope when I was in the dark and had no way out … i just thought that you should know this , you mean more to me and others than you would ever imagine … thanx tylor and thnx Paps for your good camera work ( sorry I am not english so I hope you understand what I am trying to say ) blessings to the family
Castlevania resurrection looks very souls like. It would have been a trip to have a game like that back on the Dreamcast. It was such a special console for me as it was the first one I bought with my own money. I studied everything about the Dreamcast and dreamed 😂 about how awesome it was going to be when it came out. It was still a very special console that gave me so many fun times and then the games dried up.
City of the Dead for the PS2. I remember having a demo disc as a kid with a trailer for the game on it that showed gameplay and honestly it looked kind of sick. I didn't even know it was cancelled until maybe years later when I decided to look into it.
the cancelled stargate FPS from the PS2 era will always stick with me as a cancelled game I've always wanted to play. Also the mega man 1 remake on psp 'Mega Man Powered up' had a level creator so it does exist offically just without the online sharing (at least any more).
Oh man. The cancelled Castlevania game for the Dreamcast was a heartbreaker for me. Like you, I remember seeing the pics in the magazines and the video advertisements for it. I'd go to the local EB on my days off looking for information on release and pre-order information but kept getting frustrated when I'd get no news. Then like you say, it suddenly disappeared and shortly after Sega made the announcement that they Dreamcast was getting cancelled. I wonder if Konami knew something or saw the writing on the wall before it was official. I think there was also a cancelled Castlevania game for the 32x called "Castelevania The Bloodeletting" but I think it was strictly rumors not anything concrete planned.
The biggest one for me being Star Fox 2 for the SNES. I saw it in a magazine after recently getting into the original after buying it used in 94-95. But eventually we did get a release on the SNES Classic Mini. Also Shadow Hawk was another. It was an Image Comics super hero. Who had a game planned for SNES that never came out. And the most infamous, Thrill Kill for the PlayStation! But if the game was never cancelled we wouldn't have gotten the Wu-Tang Shaolin Style fight game.
Honestly i was only 1 or 2 when it was gonna come out but Jurassic Park Survival was a dream game for me, trailers and everything came out and then it was cancelled :/ just always wished i could get my hands on it
Star Wars 1313, Scalebound, Silent Hills, Megaman Legends 3 and the most recent Star Wars KOTOR 2 remaster/remake. Wasn't canceled but Mother 3 still needs to be localized.
Great video. For me, The cancelled game that hurts me the most is Primal Rage 2. It had some interesting ideas and thanks to gruntzilla, got the game playable on emulation, and it plays a lot better than 1. Too bad midway bought out time warner so they can cancel it. I always felt Primal Rage could've been a big franchise. :(
For me... it was Dinosaur Planet. I saw it on every Nintendo magazine, super hyped! Rare made all my favorite games with Nintendo... and it was "cancelled", well, we know the truth, but I could never afford a Gamecube for Start Fox Adventures.
17:12 - *Sits looking out the window at his 2002 Xtreme pouting - "It does NOT suck..." HAHAHA, no pouting, but my Xtreme is my guilty pleasure mobile.
I was too young to look forward to any unreleased games since access to that kind of knowledge was limited to me in those mid 90s days but i remember always wanting a proper super mario world sequel.
@@therealjaystone2344 I have found zero information that Wonder is a sequel related to World. Even by just watching the trailers, the games have nothing in common.
@@MyRetroLifeyes sir! I actually got to talk with the creator of Tak and he was kind enough to tell me some of the concepts from the game unfortunately it didn’t get to far because Disney bought Avalanche Software in 2005, it’s actually a miracle that Tak 3 came out because of the acquisition and in my opinion the series went out with a bang! Tak the Great Juju Challenge or Tak 3 for short was even up for best action adventure game of 2005 but RE4 beat it another one of my favorite games! :)
@@GamingwithahandicapExactly. Warner Bros. Discovery bought the game development company, Avalanche Software, from Disney after the downfall of Disney Infinity.
@@cassiodvieira I know there such amazing games! THQNordic promised fans a remake in 2018 and it’s time they fulfilled their promise to the fans! The fans have been using the hashtag #BringTakback to spread the word around everywhere so THQNordic can see! Because for a lot of people the Tak trilogy was an early 2000s staple and more people deserve a chance to play them on all modern platforms! The goal is for like a Crash N. Sane trilogy treatment for Tak and the Power of Juju Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak the Great Juju Challenge! :)
A game called True Fantasy Live Online was gonna come out for XBox. It was gonna be an MMO for XBox Live and we were excited for it back then. But it got canceled and we were all disappointed.
I know this is probably been stated so many times by others, before the Silent Hill Transmission, Silent Hills' cancellation will always be just a gut punch to us SH and survival horror fans in general....
Great Video! With all the recent previously unreleased games getting new life on the Nintendo Switch and other Limited Run game releases (like the unreleased Garbage Pail Kids NES games and Cannon Dancer:Osman); maybe we will see some of these games in the future. Heck; the upcoming Sonic Superstars; seems to be the evolved version of Sonic Extreme; (which this video has now made me more hype for.
Its cool you and your dad shared the interest of gaming. It was reversed for me I think I actually inspired my dad into gaming with the Atari 2600 and then he played the nes, snes, playstation, ps2, and finally ps3. Dad departed in 2020 and I miss him dearly.
Nice video. I'm fortunate to have hard copies of half of these games you mentioned, and I have to agree... it's painful we didn't get to see these games fully fleshed out and released to the masses. Castlevania and Sonic X-treme in particular were two I REALLY wanted to see. I do have a Castlevania Resurrection hard copy and I agree... they were on to something. Would have looked really good on the Dreamcast.
I was born in 1982 I had an NES in 1989 one game that was supposed to come out but was cancelled was Married With Children it was supposed to be the first NES adult only game
I was born in '86 and my first console was the Nintendo Entertainment System. I beat Super Mario Bros. when I was 15 years old in mid/late 2002. Before The California Raisins: The Grape Escape hit the stores, yeah I know it never did but read on anyway, Capcom included a poster with Bionic Commando, I believe, as an advertisement for their upcoming Disney games, Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers and Adventures in Disneyland the latter 2 which later was renamed to Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers and Adventures in the Magic Kingdom respectively. It also featured small descriptions of their current games, 1943: The Battle of Midway, Strider, Legendary Wings, Mickey Mousecapade, The California Raisins, Mega Man 2 and Bionic Commando, yes I know California Raisins wasn't released, you don't need to remind me, but Capcom seemed to be pretty far into the production since they decided to mention it as released. I was not sad when The California Raisins: The Grape Escape being cancelled, due to The California Raisins popularity because of the decline in raisin sales in the late 80's to early 90's. The game appeared to have been largely finished as it was given a full review, along with hints, by Video Games & Computer Entertainment: Complete Guide to Nintendo Video Games (November 1990), the “Nintendo Game of the Month” in “Game Player’s Magazine, #19 (January 1991)”, Videogames & Computer Entertainment (January 1991), “Game Player’s Strategy Guide to Nintendo Games, Vol. 4, No.3 (March 1991)” as the Hot 100, and “Game Player’s Encyclopedia of Nintendo Games Vol. 3 (April 1991)” released a complete walkthrough for the game in their 3rd edition encyclopedia. “Visit your local game retailer today!!! Hottest titles for Nintendo!” The mystery surrounding this Raisin game only gets more mysterious as we follow its trail. Flyers included with Capcom NES games such as DuckTales, the Game Boy DuckTales, Disney’s Adventures in the Magic Kingdom, Chip ’n Dale Rescue Rangers, Gargoyle’s Quest, Little Nemo: The Dream Master, Street Fighter: 2010: The Final Fight, Destiny of An Emperor, Yo! NOID, and Mega Man 3 released around 1990 also included the title as an upcoming game. In 2006, I had purchased a book from 1990 entitled VideoGames & Computer Entertainment's COMPLETE GUIDE TO NINTENDO VIDEO GAMES. According to VideoGames & Computer Entertainment: Complete Guide to Nintendo Video Games, ONLY $9.50, California Raisins was released, was officially categorized as "Crime Fighting," and was good. Especially the violence rating-- only 1 out of 10? What kind of crime fighting game doesn't involve violence? The only thing I can think of is a game where you paint and hang up signs that say, "Please no crime. Thank you!" It's nonviolent, non-offensive arcade entertainment at its most bland. But that wasn’t the only reason it canceled the game. By the time this NES title was ready to hit the market, Nintendo would’ve have already released its next-generation Super NES, making the NES (and all its games) obsolete. This game appeared on the Spring Summer and Fall Winter 1991 Sears Wish Books advertised for 44.95. It was so close to release there was a multi cheat (2 page guides mostly? Some built in codes, plus Game Genie codes at a Scholastic book fair that had guide/code for this game as “the latest hit.” And the game wouldn‘t resurface online for another 13 years until a prototype of this game was found in Florida on January 21, 2003 by Brandon Murphy. After an article was published, game collectors began haggling with Brandon to sell the game and release the ROM, and so the cart was sold to collector, followed by a ROM image being released 7 months later, on August 1 of that same year. So it is a valuable collectors item. But if the whole raisin why toxic things wasn’t the reason Capcom decided to release it. According to many sources, the game was to be released in around early 1991, which contradicts previous knowledge that it was to be released in 1990. Got a VidPro card with preliminary artwork. What this game lacks is a grape with appeal. This is why the undoubtable one of the most well known unreleased games of all-time for the NES. But none the less, a very cool piece of NES history has been saved… I played California Raisins: The Grape Escape on a emulator and I didn't beat yet.

Great video Tyler! For me personally, that game would be Star Wars Battlefront III. I have to ask where did you buy that TG16 hat??? It's sick man! I love it!
for me it wasnt cancelled games.. i grew up in a small town so was at the whim of whatever our video store got, so many games i dreamed about but never showed up at our local video store one i can remember for sure is RPG Maker on PS1
I actually just discovered a video game this morning that was canceled, that would have been very interesting had it released *SimMars* for the PC. It was supposedly in the early stages development around the same time as The Sims (then known as SimPeople) and was even teased on the Sims City 3000 disc (where I discovered of it's existence) I was bummed to find out that it never came to be.
It'll be cool if Limited Run Games or one of those physical media production companies would pick up and officially release a lot of these cancelled games that were basically finished just never released. I'd love if Thrill Kill would offically be released and playable on a PS1 without modding it. That's one of my cancelled games I wish came out.
Man, the 32X was my bummer as a kid. I was so pumped to get that thing. Aside from X-Men not being released, the library itself ended up being so small and the announcement of the Saturn crushed my dreams of any other games. That said, I wish I still had that system, haha
If there's a system that's known for canceled games it's the virtual boy. Bound high looked like it could've been a good title on the level of wario land that took advantage of the systems hardware features
StarCraft Ghost was a big one for me, Star Fox 2 (glad we got that one eventually.) A game called Killing Day shown on PS3 at E3 in 2005. Star Wars 1313, Battlefront 3 on PS3. Other than games, I wish that the SED and FED displays from Cannon and Sony had released. I remember seeing video of those displays at CS 2007 or 2008 oh, I was so excited I grabbed my wallet when I saw them.
I have seen the raisins game talked about a couple of times throughout the years. I think the game would be weird and funny. I love these wonderful retro game videos. Cool video. ^_^
I was born in 89 and my first system was the sega genesis. I remember being 5 years old playing Sonic 2 and Ecco the Dolphin lol. Ecco the Dolphin was too difficult for me at that time, as was Sonic 2. I wasnt able to pass chemical plant zone act 2 for a while lol. Good times lol.
Highlander, early ps3 era, you would go through early era scotland, roman age, revolution, stuff like that to modern day, sounded so awesome and being scottish and loving the movie i was super hyped! I'm sure it had a trailer, still have the magazine i think.
I'm one of the people who went through the Tiny Toons development drives that leaked and tried to figure out what was on there. I built the code in a few different folders. There were several builds, but none of them were anything you'd call a game - barely moving around the level, with a gimmick of the Toons being forced to alien planets to do... well, it's never explained. In some of the builds they shoot the aliens. Terrible controls and the art quality of what was there varied. "Coming soon" in all the ads was a complete lie, it was never even close. ;)
For me, it’s the original Resident Evil on GameBoy Color. Like that looked insane. Probably wouldn’t have been very good, but still super freakin cool.
Soooo many games I wanted to play that got cancelled, Star Wars 1313, The Force Unleashed 3, an untitled Darth Maul game, a complely different Episode 7 of Star Wars but in game format instead of a movie, Star Wars Battlefront 3 for the Xbox 360 (that one became a PSP game) only because Disney bought the rights. The original concept of Aliens: Colonial Marines, the Goldeneye remaster for the Xbox 360( which can be played but without the achievements activated and a only the 1st levels available), Prey 2 ( I was really devastated for that one), Pirates of the Caribean: Armada of the Damned, the Xbox 360 version of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, and more recently Scalebound for the Xbox One. By the way, Propeller arena battle, looks very similar to Crimson Skies and Skydrift Infinite. I really think SEGA should really release this one as a limited collectors edition or maybe on a SEGA game collection.
I kept waiting for the X-men games on N64 and 32X. At least I bought a used copy of Spider-Man Web of Fire on the 32X. I got it on the early days of online shopping for $10 or $15.
Everyone knows about the earthbound game that was supposed to come out for the N64 disc expansion. I was super disappointed about that, but the one I don’t really hear many people talking about it’s an original Xbox game called BC. It was going to be a caveman survival game with dinosaurs and fire that spread. I think even hunger and thirst too. Real survival stuff
Well you can play Mother 3 on GBA if you wish. Which I think ended up as the better version. Look at stuff like Quest 64 and you can see why they cancelled it.
I don’t understand how Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still coming out 20 years after the original and after 15 years of development. It popped into my head randomly the other day and I had to check it wasn’t cancelled.
Timing was crucial for companies and there are games that are finished yet sitting there for too long. StarFox 2 and Shantae Risky Revolution are two examples.
I also was looking forward to Propeller Arena for the multi-player aspects and was very bummed when it didn't release. There still aren't many similar games. I didn't know there was a ROM available. I'll have to check that out, thanks.
I got that X-Men for Sega 32X, it was like a prototype but it was the full game. Sega did have it finished but it never got released. Thankfully I knew someone in the market who gave it to me and it's a fun game

Woah, didn't even know there was gonna be a #3! What console was it going to be for?
@@LegallyInsaneGamer the 3ds

Will MP4 be cancelled after all these years of them working on it?
Blame Keiji Inafune. He left Capcom out of nowhere and left them in the dust. I don't blame Capcom for not taking a risk on a project when the dude overseeing said project quit randomly. From the outside we can all say we would have bought MML3, but at the time Capcom wasn't doing great financially and a lot of their games were underselling.
Hey, that Tiger GameCom Castlevania SotN is shockingly pretty good!! An unfinished build leaked last year and despite not releasing, it was nearly finished!
Its impossible for me to think about cancelled games without thinking about Starcraft Ghost. I was so unbelievably hyped for it.
I was too! Shame that one never came out
The one I was the most disappointed when it was cancelled was Earthbound 64
The game was still released though. Just on GBA which I think was the better move. It would be severely limited by the N64 tech.
@@CapChronicEven that was only in Japan, so it was double disappointment. 😅
@@CapChronicdid you mean Nintendo DS? Isn't the 64 more powerful than GBA
@@entertainmentgaming8738no, it's game boy advance
I'm old. I remember hearing the news that Starfox 2 was coming to the SNES. Imagine my dismay to hear that the completed game wouldn't see the light of day. Thank goodness the SNES mini came out. It wasn't as polished as I had hoped, but I kind of expected that since it was scrapped so many years ago
I also remember that two Mega Man titles were about to be scrapped on the SNES. Mega Man 7 and Mega Man X3 almost didn't happen. They were saved after being shown at the first ever E3 in the mid 90s. It was noted that there was still some interest in the Mega Man series. I really miss E3
I was a huge fan of Eternal Champions for the Sega Genesis as a kid. Somehow... it had this uniqueness that was undiscovered compared with its competitors, Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat...
I 100% agree
@@MyRetroLife Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my comment. Subbed 👍
That 3D Sonic for the Saturn really hurt, things might have gone differently for the Saturn had they released a Sonic game for it.
Completely agree
@@MyRetroLifeThere is a fan game called Sonic Z-treame
At least we got sonics adventure for the dreamcast so there was a light at the ebd if the tunnel
Well Sonic couldn't even save the Dreamcast from bombing of I doubt it would be any different for the Saturn
Mine was Half Life 1 on the Dreamcast. I went all the way to FYE with my savings on the day of "release" only to be met with a poster of the game outside the store.. further peaking my excitement, then finding out inside that they didn't have it.
WOW I'd forgotten all about that port. I remember seeing it in a bunch of gaming magazines back in the day, and always wanting to play it!
Same! I did the exact same thing on the release date only to be disappointed.
When Mega Man Legends 3 got canceled back in 2011, that really hurt my feeling. just like Shemue 2 for the Dreamcast, The story of Megaman Legends series was not finished and Mega Man legends 3 could've been an opportunity the finished the storyline properly. Megaman legends 2 is one of games that needs a sequel.
We got Shenmue 2 on Dreamcast in Europe.
The one cancelled game I wanted has to be Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution.
The game was announced on March 2003, but never saw the light of day, and from everything I've seen, it looked quite promising. The graphics looked gorgeous, the mechanics looked interesting and fun, but sadly, development would be halted by 2004 when it was half finished. We did eventually get Shantae: Risky's Revenge and later sequels, but they're not quite the same, as Shantae Advance was more like Shantae GBC in terms of overall charm.
But on the bright side, something unexpected happened, at LRG3 2023, Shantae Advance would be announced, as a full native GBA game, and seeing that announcement trailer shocked me, as Mr. Bozon got some of the original team to finish Shantae Advance using the tools, assets and source code from the GBA era, and the game in the LRG3 trailer looked pretty much identical to the 2003 screenshots.
Long story short: Shantae Advance getting cancelled was devastating, but it's now coming back as a full game somehow, and will bridge the gap between GBC and Risky's Revenge.
Hey Tyler, you should definitely make a part 2. Surely there had to have been more cancelled games you were looking forward to playing at the time; but couldn't, because the got cancelled.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen this subject on RUclips on this level. Well done man! I gotta remember to check out you channel on the regular!
If you're going to talk about California Raisins you have to also mention Yo! Noid, another Capcom game that latched on to the 90s marketing campaign and mascot for Dominos Pizza.
For me it was Secret of Mana 2/Seiken Densetsu 3… That one hurt so bad! I loved Secret of Mana so, so much, and Secret of Mana 2 was in magazines being previewed since it was out in Japan already, showing off amazing artwork and the ridiculously awesome-looking characters, so to say that I was super hyped would be an understatement. So from then on I kept checking for it, hoping to see more and more of it each month until release, but then it was just radio silence and I started calling all the stores and asking etc. I couldn’t accept that it just seemingly disappeared from being released and nobody knew anything about this… then sometime a few years later in middle school I saw in a gaming magazine that it got canceled over here in place of Secret of Evermore… which I also loved lol. But yeah it was salt in the wound to see it again and learn of its fate. Then a couple years later I found out about emulation and finally got to play it smile😊…but it wasn’t the same experience at all I would’ve had playing it legit if it was released. Crazy to think nowadays that Seiken Densetsu 3 was held back from us!
Well you can play it now on trials of mana.
@@CapChronicIt had an excellent fan translation a long time ago if you want the original.
For me this was almost every single SNES RPG. The joys of being a PAL gamer.
My biggest disappointment was Killer Instinct never coming out at home for the Ultra 64. We were promised an exact arcade port and we never got it. I didn't get to play it until 7-8 years later in 2002 via modded OG Xbox.
Agreed ! I hyped up the 64 and Killer Instinct saying it’s going to destroy anything PS and Sega throws out to my friends . My friends gave me lots of crap years later for that to this days lol .
Propeller Arena is an amazing game. One of my favorites for the Dreamcast.
I was very excited about Sonic Xtreme (it was Sega answer to Mario 64). I got upset when i know this game never saw the light of day...
The only cancelled game I ever wanted was Nightmare Creatures 3, I was a huge fan of that series and definitely the target audience, I loved the design of the monsters and just loved the games in general, and I saw the trailer when it first was revealed and got really excited.
Not so long after, Kalisto Entertainment went bankrupt, it was devastating.
Tyler, you must have to have the best, most interesting channel on this entire platform. The memories, the way you have unlocked all of our memories by sharing these amazing videos. I wish my family had a video camera around for all of these important memories, but you have definitely helped me reminisce back to the good old days where everything was so magical and fun
Atari Jaguar's BLACK ICE / WHITE NOISE. This game legit looked 64-bits (the developers took the Atari Jaguar and actually utilized the hardware). This game would have been awesome... if it had been released. Why didn't it release? It was being developed as Atari was slowly going out of business. Development stopped when Atari imploded. There is a playable build of the game online (it's NOT complete, but from what they completed, BLACK ICE / WHITE NOISE is cool).
For me it’s two games that you mentioned eternal champions on the Sega Saturn, that was the reason why I chose to buy a Sega Saturn!!!. I hope this brings you comfort, when it was canceled I called up Sega and cursed out the person who answered the complaint line (I was around 13 at a time) and Castlevania on the Dreamcast I was really looking forward to that game. And you’re right I did play it and I agree with everything you said about the tech demo I think it could’ve been something really special as well. But anyway great video keep up the good work
honestly that Starcraft Ghost game on OG Xbox looked good and almost finished, a cool stealth action game as that Ghost character would have been fun at the time.
I'm not sure about universe looked but the idea lives on in Mega Man Maker fan game. They even ran it at SGDQ recently.
Sonic Xteme hurts a bit because some concept art shows that Sally Acorn might have been game at some point.
One I remember seeing and wanting was a game called B.C. on the og xbox. You played as a caveman in what looked like an open world with dinosaurs. It looked like a great game but for whatever reason it was canceled and never came out.
I always wanted Black & White for the PS1 as a kid. I remember buying the official playstation magazine in the UK that had it as the main feature on the front cover. It never came out in the end. I did get it on PC but always wondered how that ps1 version would have played
You have so much footage of your childhood, its insane. I have a smartphone and take less footage of my kids than your family did in the 90s...
I enjoy the story's with your dad he sounds like a special guy.
Glover 2 is one I wish saw the light of day. Was a big fan of the first game. It's a shame that the sequel never came out.
Totally agreed!
Tylor my Buddy 😅 My future wife ( hopefully ) literally decorate my gift cards with you mentioned all over … you became part of our relationship and although it does not meen to much to you just image what your paps meant to you and how much your little princess means to you … you are doing the exact same thing to me and I really appreciate it , I started collecting retro “replica” consoles … one day ill collect the real deal .. just need to get my studies car ect paid off first . Thank you for everything you do for me … you might not know this but you gave me a new hope when I was in the dark and had no way out … i just thought that you should know this , you mean more to me and others than you would ever imagine … thanx tylor and thnx Paps for your good camera work ( sorry I am not english so I hope you understand what I am trying to say ) blessings to the family
Castlevania resurrection looks very souls like. It would have been a trip to have a game like that back on the Dreamcast. It was such a special console for me as it was the first one I bought with my own money. I studied everything about the Dreamcast and dreamed 😂 about how awesome it was going to be when it came out. It was still a very special console that gave me so many fun times and then the games dried up.
City of the Dead for the PS2. I remember having a demo disc as a kid with a trailer for the game on it that showed gameplay and honestly it looked kind of sick. I didn't even know it was cancelled until maybe years later when I decided to look into it.
the cancelled stargate FPS from the PS2 era will always stick with me as a cancelled game I've always wanted to play.
Also the mega man 1 remake on psp 'Mega Man Powered up' had a level creator so it does exist offically just without the online sharing (at least any more).
Being born in 2002 my first console was the PlayStation 2. So many memories playing online and sitting next to my dad.
Oh man. The cancelled Castlevania game for the Dreamcast was a heartbreaker for me. Like you, I remember seeing the pics in the magazines and the video advertisements for it. I'd go to the local EB on my days off looking for information on release and pre-order information but kept getting frustrated when I'd get no news. Then like you say, it suddenly disappeared and shortly after Sega made the announcement that they Dreamcast was getting cancelled. I wonder if Konami knew something or saw the writing on the wall before it was official. I think there was also a cancelled Castlevania game for the 32x called "Castelevania The Bloodeletting" but I think it was strictly rumors not anything concrete planned.
I was born in 87, first console was Sega Genesis in 94
Growing up, we used the Hardees Californian Raisin toys in our pool to dive for them.
The biggest one for me being Star Fox 2 for the SNES. I saw it in a magazine after recently getting into the original after buying it used in 94-95. But eventually we did get a release on the SNES Classic Mini. Also Shadow Hawk was another. It was an Image Comics super hero. Who had a game planned for SNES that never came out. And the most infamous, Thrill Kill for the PlayStation! But if the game was never cancelled we wouldn't have gotten the Wu-Tang Shaolin Style fight game.
Honestly i was only 1 or 2 when it was gonna come out but Jurassic Park Survival was a dream game for me, trailers and everything came out and then it was cancelled :/ just always wished i could get my hands on it
Star Wars 1313, Scalebound, Silent Hills, Megaman Legends 3 and the most recent Star Wars KOTOR 2 remaster/remake. Wasn't canceled but Mother 3 still needs to be localized.
Man such a shame about Propellor Arena! I get why but looks like such a fun game! Great video Tyler.
fantastic video as usual.....some very unknown games for me too
Great video. For me, The cancelled game that hurts me the most is Primal Rage 2. It had some interesting ideas and thanks to gruntzilla, got the game playable on emulation, and it plays a lot better than 1. Too bad midway bought out time warner so they can cancel it. I always felt Primal Rage could've been a big franchise. :(
GGA has one of the 2 existing arcade boards of the game and I got to try it but I wasn’t good at it
@@admiralAlfonso9001 Cool!
That Sonic yeah that looked interesting.
Specially for back in the day it would be so cool !
For me... it was Dinosaur Planet. I saw it on every Nintendo magazine, super hyped! Rare made all my favorite games with Nintendo... and it was "cancelled", well, we know the truth, but I could never afford a Gamecube for Start Fox Adventures.
That’s a good one!
This is a crazy list. Only you could've put together this list.
Two thumbs waaaay up
i wish I could've played as bad box art megaman
17:12 - *Sits looking out the window at his 2002 Xtreme pouting - "It does NOT suck..." HAHAHA, no pouting, but my Xtreme is my guilty pleasure mobile.
I was too young to look forward to any unreleased games since access to that kind of knowledge was limited to me in those mid 90s days but i remember always wanting a proper super mario world sequel.
Mario bros wonder is now a sequel to Mario world
@@therealjaystone2344 I have found zero information that Wonder is a sequel related to World.
Even by just watching the trailers, the games have nothing in common.
@@28Pluto Mario wonder feels like a true successor to Mario bros 4 (Mario world) and no NSMB doesn’t count because it’s a reimagined Mario bros
I wish we could get a new Castlevania game. It would be a great time to “resurrect “ the franchise
Me too I was looking forward for Propeller Arena and Eternal Champion Final Chapter plus Sonic Extreme 👍 video Tyler
My most upsetting cancellation was Tak 4 by Avalanche Software unfortunately the studio got bought out by Disney in 2005 still upsets me
Oh wow didn’t know they were making a Tak 4!
@@MyRetroLifeyes sir! I actually got to talk with the creator of Tak and he was kind enough to tell me some of the concepts from the game unfortunately it didn’t get to far because Disney bought Avalanche Software in 2005, it’s actually a miracle that Tak 3 came out because of the acquisition and in my opinion the series went out with a bang! Tak the Great Juju Challenge or Tak 3 for short was even up for best action adventure game of 2005 but RE4 beat it another one of my favorite games! :)
Oh wow, I had no clue about Tak 4. I loved the trilogy! I'd love to see a remastered trilogy release.
@@GamingwithahandicapExactly. Warner Bros. Discovery bought the game development company, Avalanche Software, from Disney after the downfall of Disney Infinity.
@@cassiodvieira I know there such amazing games! THQNordic promised fans a remake in 2018 and it’s time they fulfilled their promise to the fans! The fans have been using the hashtag #BringTakback to spread the word around everywhere so THQNordic can see! Because for a lot of people the Tak trilogy was an early 2000s staple and more people deserve a chance to play them on all modern platforms! The goal is for like a Crash N. Sane trilogy treatment for Tak and the Power of Juju Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak the Great Juju Challenge! :)
I saw the advertisement on a poster in 89' or 90' for the raisens. I had no idea the game was never made.
A game called True Fantasy Live Online was gonna come out for XBox. It was gonna be an MMO for XBox Live and we were excited for it back then. But it got canceled and we were all disappointed.
And probably why Level 5 wont give Xbox an rpg. Shout out to Namco for giving Xbox Ni No Kuni
I love the Sega Saturn controller, but man those shoulder buttons are unforgivable 😢 specially the American model 1 version
The 90s were Extreme! I'm talking Paco Jeans and Flannels :P
Wow you had every console back in the day! This was the dream of every boy I knew as a child.
I know this is probably been stated so many times by others, before the Silent Hill Transmission, Silent Hills' cancellation will always be just a gut punch to us SH and survival horror fans in general....
Dude! I could so see this as a show man! Wonder years mixed with fresh off the boat with a sprinkle of the goldbergs! I would so watch it!
Deep Down, Fable Legends, Scalebound, and Star Wars 1313 broke my heart.
I don't remember any cancelled game I missed except no sonic game for saturn. Nights in to dreams filled this roll well though.
Great Video! With all the recent previously unreleased games getting new life on the Nintendo Switch and other Limited Run game releases (like the unreleased Garbage Pail Kids NES games and Cannon Dancer:Osman); maybe we will see some of these games in the future. Heck; the upcoming Sonic Superstars; seems to be the evolved version of Sonic Extreme; (which this video has now made me more hype for.
Its cool you and your dad shared the interest of gaming. It was reversed for me I think I actually inspired my dad into gaming with the Atari 2600 and then he played the nes, snes, playstation, ps2, and finally ps3. Dad departed in 2020 and I miss him dearly.
Nice video. I'm fortunate to have hard copies of half of these games you mentioned, and I have to agree... it's painful we didn't get to see these games fully fleshed out and released to the masses. Castlevania and Sonic X-treme in particular were two I REALLY wanted to see. I do have a Castlevania Resurrection hard copy and I agree... they were on to something. Would have looked really good on the Dreamcast.
I would've loved so very very much to have had MegaMan Anniversary Collection GBA and be able to play the GB MegaMen in full color!
How did you even know about that California Raisins game?
"WELL I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE"
I was born in 1982 I had an NES in 1989 one game that was supposed to come out but was cancelled was Married With Children it was supposed to be the first NES adult only game
StarCraft: Ghost is probably my #1.
I was born in '86 and my first console was the Nintendo Entertainment System. I beat Super Mario Bros. when I was 15 years old in mid/late 2002. Before The California Raisins: The Grape Escape hit the stores, yeah I know it never did but read on anyway, Capcom included a poster with Bionic Commando, I believe, as an advertisement for their upcoming Disney games, Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers and Adventures in Disneyland the latter 2 which later was renamed to Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers and Adventures in the Magic Kingdom respectively. It also featured small descriptions of their current games, 1943: The Battle of Midway, Strider, Legendary Wings, Mickey Mousecapade, The California Raisins, Mega Man 2 and Bionic Commando, yes I know California Raisins wasn't released, you don't need to remind me, but Capcom seemed to be pretty far into the production since they decided to mention it as released. I was not sad when The California Raisins: The Grape Escape being cancelled, due to The California Raisins popularity because of the decline in raisin sales in the late 80's to early 90's. The game appeared to have been largely finished as it was given a full review, along with hints, by Video Games & Computer Entertainment: Complete Guide to Nintendo Video Games (November 1990), the “Nintendo Game of the Month” in “Game Player’s Magazine, #19 (January 1991)”, Videogames & Computer Entertainment (January 1991), “Game Player’s Strategy Guide to Nintendo Games, Vol. 4, No.3 (March 1991)” as the Hot 100, and “Game Player’s Encyclopedia of Nintendo Games Vol. 3 (April 1991)” released a complete walkthrough for the game in their 3rd edition encyclopedia. “Visit your local game retailer today!!! Hottest titles for Nintendo!” The mystery surrounding this Raisin game only gets more mysterious as we follow its trail. Flyers included with Capcom NES games such as DuckTales, the Game Boy DuckTales, Disney’s Adventures in the Magic Kingdom, Chip ’n Dale Rescue Rangers, Gargoyle’s Quest, Little Nemo: The Dream Master, Street Fighter: 2010: The Final Fight, Destiny of An Emperor, Yo! NOID, and Mega Man 3 released around 1990 also included the title as an upcoming game. In 2006, I had purchased a book from 1990 entitled VideoGames & Computer Entertainment's COMPLETE GUIDE TO NINTENDO VIDEO GAMES. According to VideoGames & Computer Entertainment: Complete Guide to Nintendo Video Games, ONLY $9.50, California Raisins was released, was officially categorized as "Crime Fighting," and was good. Especially the violence rating-- only 1 out of 10? What kind of crime fighting game doesn't involve violence? The only thing I can think of is a game where you paint and hang up signs that say, "Please no crime. Thank you!" It's nonviolent, non-offensive arcade entertainment at its most bland. But that wasn’t the only reason it canceled the game. By the time this NES title was ready to hit the market, Nintendo would’ve have already released its next-generation Super NES, making the NES (and all its games) obsolete. This game appeared on the Spring Summer and Fall Winter 1991 Sears Wish Books advertised for 44.95. It was so close to release there was a multi cheat (2 page guides mostly? Some built in codes, plus Game Genie codes at a Scholastic book fair that had guide/code for this game as “the latest hit.” And the game wouldn‘t resurface online for another 13 years until a prototype of this game was found in Florida on January 21, 2003 by Brandon Murphy. After an article was published, game collectors began haggling with Brandon to sell the game and release the ROM, and so the cart was sold to collector, followed by a ROM image being released 7 months later, on August 1 of that same year. So it is a valuable collectors item. But if the whole raisin why toxic things wasn’t the reason Capcom decided to release it. According to many sources, the game was to be released in around early 1991, which contradicts previous knowledge that it was to be released in 1990. Got a VidPro card with preliminary artwork. What this game lacks is a grape with appeal. This is why the undoubtable one of the most well known unreleased games of all-time for the NES. But none the less, a very cool piece of NES history has been saved…

Great video Tyler! For me personally, that game would be Star Wars Battlefront III. I have to ask where did you buy that TG16 hat??? It's sick man! I love it!
for me it wasnt cancelled games.. i grew up in a small town so was at the whim of whatever our video store got, so many games i dreamed about but never showed up at our local video store one i can remember for sure is RPG Maker on PS1
Digital stores made it way easier for small towns to buy games that aren’t available on retailers
11:22 - I can sum it up - It was so bad it was good. Like some cars are so odd they're awesome. Bill Thomas' (Chevy) Cheetah, as an example.
I don't remember many being cancelled as a kid but one I do remember being gutted about was gremlins on ps1
I actually just discovered a video game this morning that was canceled, that would have been very interesting had it released *SimMars* for the PC.
It was supposedly in the early stages development around the same time as The Sims (then known as SimPeople) and was even teased on the Sims City 3000 disc (where I discovered of it's existence) I was bummed to find out that it never came to be.
It'll be cool if Limited Run Games or one of those physical media production companies would pick up and officially release a lot of these cancelled games that were basically finished just never released. I'd love if Thrill Kill would offically be released and playable on a PS1 without modding it. That's one of my cancelled games I wish came out.
Man, the 32X was my bummer as a kid. I was so pumped to get that thing. Aside from X-Men not being released, the library itself ended up being so small and the announcement of the Saturn crushed my dreams of any other games. That said, I wish I still had that system, haha
I had fun with it. Doom alone made it worth it for me as a small child.
@@CapChronic oh yeah, Doom and that Star Wars game were both really fun!
If there's a system that's known for canceled games it's the virtual boy. Bound high looked like it could've been a good title on the level of wario land that took advantage of the systems hardware features
Always Love The Tiny Toons Games!
Even Found A Boxed Copy Of Buster Breaks Loose!
Enjoy The Videos Tyler They Are Awesome❤️
StarCraft Ghost was a big one for me, Star Fox 2 (glad we got that one eventually.) A game called Killing Day shown on PS3 at E3 in 2005.
Star Wars 1313, Battlefront 3 on PS3.
Other than games, I wish that the SED and FED displays from Cannon and Sony had released.
I remember seeing video of those displays at CS 2007 or 2008 oh, I was so excited I grabbed my wallet when I saw them.
Can you make a video exclusively about Manny?
Like Oppenheimer, destroyer of worlds…
Manny, Master of games!
I think it’s a good idea.
I wa disappointed when Lufia was cancelled for the Sega Genesis I would Love to see how it would sound in Sega Genesis form.
What makes me so sad is that with each new home video Tyler shows that's one less video we will have 😭😭😭 Tyler please tell me there is a lot left
Still a lot that I haven’t shown but it is finite
I have seen the raisins game talked about a couple of times throughout the years. I think the game would be weird and funny. I love these wonderful retro game videos. Cool video. ^_^
Your number 2 is my number 1. My number 2 is the Robotech/Macross game for N64.
I was born in 89 and my first system was the sega genesis. I remember being 5 years old playing Sonic 2 and Ecco the Dolphin lol. Ecco the Dolphin was too difficult for me at that time, as was Sonic 2. I wasnt able to pass chemical plant zone act 2 for a while lol. Good times lol.
Highlander, early ps3 era, you would go through early era scotland, roman age, revolution, stuff like that to modern day, sounded so awesome and being scottish and loving the movie i was super hyped! I'm sure it had a trailer, still have the magazine i think.
I'm one of the people who went through the Tiny Toons development drives that leaked and tried to figure out what was on there. I built the code in a few different folders. There were several builds, but none of them were anything you'd call a game - barely moving around the level, with a gimmick of the Toons being forced to alien planets to do... well, it's never explained. In some of the builds they shoot the aliens. Terrible controls and the art quality of what was there varied. "Coming soon" in all the ads was a complete lie, it was never even close. ;)
Wow what a mess! I wanted it so bad as a kid thinking it would be like the Konami games
For me, it’s the original Resident Evil on GameBoy Color. Like that looked insane. Probably wouldn’t have been very good, but still super freakin cool.
That actually DID come out! EDIT - Oh I’m thinking of RE Gaiden
Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned & Scalebound, I was so disappointed they got cancelled, I just think of what could've been. 😞
AvP CD, AvP2 on Jaguar, AvP on PS1, Killer Instinct 2 and Wing Commander 2 on SNES
Soooo many games I wanted to play that got cancelled, Star Wars 1313, The Force Unleashed 3, an untitled Darth Maul game, a complely different Episode 7 of Star Wars but in game format instead of a movie, Star Wars Battlefront 3 for the Xbox 360 (that one became a PSP game) only because Disney bought the rights. The original concept of Aliens: Colonial Marines, the Goldeneye remaster for the Xbox 360( which can be played but without the achievements activated and a only the 1st levels available), Prey 2 ( I was really devastated for that one), Pirates of the Caribean: Armada of the Damned, the Xbox 360 version of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, and more recently Scalebound for the Xbox One.
By the way, Propeller arena battle, looks very similar to Crimson Skies and Skydrift Infinite. I really think SEGA should really release this one as a limited collectors edition or maybe on a SEGA game collection.
I kept waiting for the X-men games on N64 and 32X.
At least I bought a used copy of Spider-Man Web of Fire on the 32X. I got it on the early days of online shopping for $10 or $15.
Everyone knows about the earthbound game that was supposed to come out for the N64 disc expansion. I was super disappointed about that, but the one I don’t really hear many people talking about it’s an original Xbox game called BC. It was going to be a caveman survival game with dinosaurs and fire that spread. I think even hunger and thirst too. Real survival stuff
Well you can play Mother 3 on GBA if you wish. Which I think ended up as the better version. Look at stuff like Quest 64 and you can see why they cancelled it.
Space Queens from Sonic Xtreme is one of my favorite pieces of Video Game music
I don’t understand how Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still coming out 20 years after the original and after 15 years of development. It popped into my head randomly the other day and I had to check it wasn’t cancelled.
Timing was crucial for companies and there are games that are finished yet sitting there for too long. StarFox 2 and Shantae Risky Revolution are two examples.
I also was looking forward to Propeller Arena for the multi-player aspects and was very bummed when it didn't release. There still aren't many similar games. I didn't know there was a ROM available. I'll have to check that out, thanks.
I got that X-Men for Sega 32X, it was like a prototype but it was the full game. Sega did have it finished but it never got released. Thankfully I knew someone in the market who gave it to me and it's a fun game
