Hey all!
As I'm sure you can tell, I'm new here. I was a Sega kid back in the early 90's and I still have and really enjoy both my Genesis and Game Gear. I'm finishing up my Game Gear collection and looking over all released games for the handheld and there is one glaring omission that really gets me down sometimes. There was never a Ninja Turtles game for the Sega Game Gear. This was due to Konami having the rights to make the games and a deal between them and Nintendo that didn't stop until near the end of the lifespan of that generation. Thus, there was never a push to put a Turtles game on the less successful handheld.
Still.... the superior technology in the Game Gear always had me scratch my head and wonder what a Ninja Turtles game would have been like on the system. I'm currently in the middle of a project bringing a hypothetical Ninja Turtles game to life. My initial plan was to mod Streets of Rage 2 to have the Turtles in it similar to the Genesis mod of the same game. Due to encryption issues though, I had to let that idea pass me up. Instead, I'm doing everything from drawing 8bit screenshots to coming up with a story and creating an instruction manual for the hypothetical game. It's as close as I'm going to get I suppose. A fun project that's time consuming, but that's basically the only game I can think of that I wish had been created, but never was.
What about you guys? Do you have a favorite system from back in the day that simply never got a game that you were hoping for? Maybe it got a game but it didn't live up to the potential? What's your story?

Treasure's Gun Beat on Sega NAOMI arcade board

I wish this was released, and ported to Sega Dreamcast. The gamplay reminds me of Bomberman Fantasy Race with Treasure's quirkiness.

skies of arcadia 2
shame that that one got cancelled. that being said though maybe it's for the best. I've seen to many great series turn bad with them modern sequels not all stuff gets better not to mention with the current state of sega better to just forget about it I can't expect much from sega in the current day and age.
let's not forget Mark of the Wolves 2 that one is a shame aswell.
-
Metroid Dread (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid_Dread) for the Nintendo DS.
It was set to return to its roots, being a sequel to Metroid Fusion. A true shame this never saw the light of day.
-
The original E3 1998 build of Duke Nukem Forever.
This is kind of cheating since it did come out in Japan, but it's criminal Sin and Punishment for the N64 was never localized for the US. The game is literally all in english except the menus. it would have been insanely easy to bring it over here. It's one of the best N64 games.
-
Lunar 3 for Sega CD (or playstation). The 2 games are still my favorite jrpg stories and characters. Sad the system died before we got the 3rd. (and then the game company that localized it went under a few years later!)
Full Throttle 2. I think this one was still in development right up until LucasArts was closed down by Disney. I don't know who could've replace Roy Conrad's gravelly voice for Ben.
Space Quest 7, Quest for Glory 6, King's Quest 9. I miss classic Sierra. (Space Quest 7 is still said to be a thing by the Two Guys, but I'm not very optimistic at this point.)
Wolf Among Us 2. Eff you, guy that bankrupted Telltale. Eff you so hard in the a-ay what do you mean it's coming after all? Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!!!!

Couldn't agree more. I don't regret importing it, but it definitely should have been released outside Japan.

Yes this I remember the preview game trailer. and I wanted it but it never came out, disappointed but during this time 3D Realms did create Duke Nukem Zero Hour for the N64 also Duke Nukem Time To Kill and Duke Nukem Land Of The Babes for PlayStation 1
BUT speaking of Duke Nukem 3D their was 3 rare sequels in the form of a Duke Nukem 3D addons.
1:Duke Nukem: Duke it out in DC
2: Duke Caribbean Life's A Beach
3: Duke Nukem: Nuclear Winter
Also I did download Duke Nukem Forever not the actual game but a mod someone made based off the Duke Nukem Forever game in 1998, you could even drive a motorcycle in that mod, it's free to download but, you'd have to find it on the internet somewhere. it might be on moddb's website
https://www.moddb.com/mods/duke-nukem-forever
But I no longer download things off the internet

Star Wars 1313. I bet it was even better than Fallen Order.

Yeah, luckily getting import N64 games to work on a US N64 is super easy. I imported it as well, but playing it baffles me why they just didn't put the small extra effort into localizing it.

Would of wanted to see what the Atari Jaguar and 32x could of done if left on the market longer. Say 1996 onwards.

Scalebound is the only game I can think of that was cancelled.
So I guess that one but I wasn’t really bothered about playing it.

I sure as heck was! Scalebound was my planned reason to pick up an Xbox One. I had money saved up, I just waiting for it to come out to make sure that stupid shoehorned multiplayer didn't screw things up too much- but I guess it did, since they canned it.
I bought a Switch instead. If it weren't for a killer Amazon Prime Day deal, I doubt I'd have an Xbox One at all right now.
I was a bit sad when I learned about Fortress, the cancelled sequel to Final Fantasy 12, becuase it was set to star Basch, who is one of my all-time favorites (I have jokingly referred to him as 'my husbando' in the past). But considering it never got officially announced or even past the concept stages, it's hard to be too upset.

Fear Effect Inferno and Timesplitters 4.

that would have been one heck of a xbox one exclusive wich it really needed
My guess is that platinum games went to hard on the development budget wich microsoft didnt like since according to interviews both sides had faults.
it might come back as a switch exclusive though as some might say.

Mega Man Legends 3.

Boba Fett is painfully overrated, but I'm sure it would've been one heck of a game, though.

Since I'm never up-to-date with anything related to Xbox, I learned about Scalebound when it was announced that it was getting canned; I think it was an Angry Joe video if memory serves. The game looked promising, I liked what I saw, but just one game wouldn't have been enough for me to get an Xbox One, what with their lack of exclusive and all. But again, the game did look promising.

This is news to me! I did some quick Googling and I liked the direction the game was taking. I very much liked FFXII, so I would've certainly been all over this.
Mega Man Legends 3.
I wanted that, and Universe as well.
-
The original Prey.
-
-Scalebound
-Phantom Dust reboot
-Dead Phoenix (cancelled Gamecube exclusive developed by Capcom)
Not cancelled but region locked that i want to mention
-Fatal Frame 4

Most notably, the cancellation of Silent Hills was a huge disappointment and its controversy seems to have successfully killed the series. Project Rap Rabbit is another missed opportunity, for sure. A new rhythm game from the mastermind who pioneered the genre with Parappa the Rapper partnering with the creator of cult classic Gitaroo Man? I was a day one Kickstarter backer based on that alone.
-
Silent Hills...
-
Sonic X-treme. There's an infinite amount of parallel universes and I got stuck in the one where SEGA actually did the freaking unthinkable. I'm not suggesting it would have been the greatest game ever, but who knows? It's probably the most epic of fails in the history of cancelled games. At least we don't live in the universe where Super Mario 64 was cancelled.

In my defense, there were other games (or I wouldn't have picked up an XB1 later for any price), but Scalebound was the reason for pushing to get it over the Switch. I'm still a mite salty over that one- I actually kept the preorder link active in my Amazon wishlist for the next several months, until Amazon themselves deleted the listing.

Right, right, jokingly.

Half-Life on the Dreamcast! It would've been amazing!!

Well of course- I got me a proper flesh & blood one. He's even a blonde too. (And yes, he's got his own 'waifu'- Kos-mos from Xenosaga :p)

I remain eternally curious about Echo Delta for the DD. I wish it had been released, even willing to trade one of the Mario Artist releases for it. My suspicion is that the game would be very basic by modern standards and only a curiosity, but still. Something about it really sticks out to me. Single unit(?) RTS where you play as a submarine underwater. As I said, its a shame we didn't get it.
-
Echo Delta [...]
It seemed like an interesting game, and quite frankly seems like one I would've played. It's a shame the game got cancelled near its completion because, while just one game, the N64 could've used all the games it could back then.

Hang Up Los Angeles
What’s that?

Castlevania: The Bloodletting. There's a sprite of Richter and some other dude online and it looks cool, but unfortunately never became it's own game.

Shining Force III B and C were only released in Japan for Saturn and I can't read Japanese.

I'm pretty sure that there was a version of Daytona planned for the 32X. I would have loved to see how that turned out as Virtua Fighter and Racing are my favourite versions on that system. On the DC we should have seen more arcade ports. Scud Race, Daytona 2 etc. I would also have liked to see Sega Rally 2 and Virtua Fighter 3 ported across to either XB or PS2 as the Dreamcast releases were rushed.
Oh well its not like I am short of games to play :)
-
Given how short lived the console was their are many games to choose from, but Dragon Hopper on Virtual Boy seems like it would've been a fun game to play.

Pretty sure they announced the Wolf Among Us 2 in the last Nindies Direct. Check and make sure!
EDIT: NVM I read that wrong, yeah it's happening.
Mine's StarCraft Ghost. I'm pretty sure I got a GameCube just for it.
-
Weirdly for me it's Silent Hills.
Weird, because I very rarely finish horror games. I have a low tolerance to being scared witless!
But I do like trying them at least until I have to stop, and I never got to play PT.
I like to think that Kojima and Konami could bury the hatchet in 10 years time and it finally gets made...I'm a dreamer :)
-

Yeah... I really wish we could have played Silent Hills too...
Other than that, Half Life on the Dreamcast is a game that comes to mind...
-
EarthBound 64. This one just breaks my heart even to this day. I know we got Mother 3 eventually on GBA - well, not the US, but at least the game was fan translated and the fact that it exists is enough for me. But EB64 was my most hyped game ever, until it was cancelled. Would've loved to see what it turned out to be and compare it to the GBA game that did get released.
Project Dream - the prototype SNES game that eventually became Banjo-Kazooie on N64. I don't know much about it but this was created by Rare during the height of their greatness. Every game they put out was gold and I have little doubt this would've been as well. Plus I would've loved to see how different or similar it is to Banjo-Kazooie.

Secret of Mana on the SNES CD
Scalebound
Star Control IV
Star Command X: Armada
There’s more but I’m drawing a blank. :(
