What's your most wanted canceled game?

[Anonymous No.8479568]

12 Tales Conker 64.

I don't care if it was just another kiddy Rare platformer, it looked good to me. Conker's Bad Fur day has fun multiplayer but the single player is just a series of cutcenes with humor that aged like milk.

[Anonymous No.8479591]

>>8479568
keep crying fag, go play some banjo rom hacks if you want to feel the same thing over and over again. Conker BFD is still based, I think it's one of those games I really wanted to have in physical form, not because of youtubers or some ebay pricing shit, I played the game on an emulator and said "Fuck this game is so complete, it has everything and it looks so good".

Star wars knights of the old republic 3.
Not star wars the old republic. I wanted that game so bad bros. I remember having hope when the 360 came out
>like oh maybe theyre waiting for the new consoles
Man was i wrong lmao. Wasnt unril years later. That i found out lucas arts got a new ceo and new executives in like 2004 2005. They basically looked at how much money san andreas and halo 2 made and said
>all of our games released in the past decade havent touched anything close to this kind of money
And they just canceled everything. They allowed battlefront 2 to release but all the other projects were canceled that includes
>jedi outcast 3
>kotor 3
>battlefront 3
>republic commando 2
The list just keeps going on that.

Crusader: No Mercy. The only hint of it's existence is this pic which teased at a multiplayer mode. Later, Origin was bought out by EA, and we know how that story goes. Later, a tech demo remaking stage 1 of the first game was made for the PSP as a proof of concept, but it never went anywhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJvkaw4xerY

They're likely mockups. The rumored reason for the cancelation is they lost the source code of the games and reverse engineering them to add color was too time consuming and expensive compared to what they expected to recoup.

you would pick one of the robot masters to play as, and then enter that stage as normal.

you would start the stage in the boss room as the robot master, and have like 5min to go anywhere you want (backwards) in the level, until megaman shows up and you are locked to that screen trying to kill him. megaman would have something like 9 lives and your current weakness, with great AI. if you kill megaman, you win and game ends. if you die, you select one of the remaining robot masters and do it again.

if you die and lose all of the robot masters, you start in wily stages 1, then 2, 3 and finally play as wily 'himself'.

I'm still incredibly partial to the idea that the whole project was a scam deal between Nintendo and Capcom to insure the 3DS actually sold copies at launch.

No expert, but sounds pretty hard to do with just hacking. Maybe some kind of emulator-based script/wrapper.

I don't know if Chrono Break was really "canceled." From what it sounds like the thing never existed in the first place. It was just a trademark with no actual work being done.
