Unreleased games you wish saw the light of day

Secret of Mana was also originally intended for the cancelled SNES CD-ROM and apparently had to be greatly scaled down to actually fit on a cartridge. Still bummed that CD attachment never happened, we could've got some great games out of it.


There's a number of cool sounding unreleased games I've seen listed on GameFAQs that I can't think of right now.

Was just reminded of another one-Rainbow Six Patriots. This one had a really interesting sounding plot and it ultimately didn't happen for reasons we weren't quite sure about for years. Though now it seems like we have a pretty good idea-after all of the allegations about Ubisoft higher ups lead to several resignations, it came to light that one of the main offenders-Serge Hascoet(at least I think that's how his last name was spelled, whatever he was an asshole anyways so i'm not going to dignify him by bothering to look it up)had the power to completely cancel games without ANY input from anyone else and nobody could override his decisions and it was mentioned that he generally had a dislike for single-player narrative focused games-which was exactly what Patriots was meant to be, so it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out why the game ultimately got cancelled. It's infuriating that just one person had that level of power to be able to screw devs who worked on games for years just like that.

Hell yes, I can honestly say the lack of a true Sonic game on Saturn was the main reason I never ended up getting that console.

I already had 3-D Blast on Genesis(and I thought it was fine overall in spite of some issues) so I saw no reason to get another version that only had new music and 3-D special stages to offer. Plus I also had the Sonic 3 in 1 compilation on Genesis so I had no use for Sonic Jam either. As for Sonic R that just made me scratch my head at the time(a Sonic racing game? What were they thinking?)though I did end up having some fun with it when it came to Gems Collection(though that was apparently the superior PC version and the Saturn version played and ran terribly).
