The game was almost made for the failed Nintendo 64 Disk Drive add-on. The game would've allowed players to import their cities from the original SimCity (also on the 64DD), and fly around it. It was shown off at Tokyo Game Show, according to UnSeen64. Unfortunately, the add-on was never released outside Japan, and sold poorly in said country, resulting the game being cancelled entirely.

After development of the first game, Nintendo was considering developing a sequel with the working title 'Wind Waker 2'. According to producer Eiji Aonuma, the demand for a more Ocarina like game with Zelda made them reconsider the idea. Artist Satoru Takizawa stated The game would've been set on land rather than at sea.

"To tell you the truth, we had begun the initial steps towards creating Wind Waker 2 around that time. However, demand for a more Ocarina-like game was growing by the day. We did our very best with Wind Waker, and put everything we had into it…
However, Wind Waker 2 would have taken place in a more land-based setting, rather than on the sea, so that we could have Link gallop across the land on a horse.

But Link’s proportions in Wind Waker weren’t very well suited for riding on horseback, he was too short, and an adult version of Toon Link did not seem appropriate either. So, while we were stuck on those problems, we became aware of the greater demand for a more realistic, taller Link. High-budget live-action fantasy movies were also huge at the time, so with all things considered, we decided to have at it. I was on board with the project as art director, and started off by bringing [Yusuke] Nakano on to do the design for Link."

It was going to be published by Fox Interactive, but the game was never actually shown to the press or the public, only being documented in magazine articles of the era until gameplay footage was shown by a former employee of Bits Studios on February 27th, 2017.

According to said former employee, the release was cancelled because it was late within the N64 life cycle.

Sony's own gaming ventures appear to have been influenced by this as the canceled reader was dubbed "The Play Station", akin to the PlayStation.

Attachment In 2002, Pseudo Interactive created an early prototype for a sequel to Cel Damage, entitled "Cel Damaged 2". Pseudo was aiming to fix what was considered wrong with the first game as well as introduce new elements to the game. A character line-up with some of the characters that appeared in the first game was made as well. The game would've featured new characters(their names were not mentioned in the documents). The new characters in order were a caveman, a robot, an Egyptian queen, and a king sheep.

The game was pitched to EA Games, Sega, Ubisoft, and lastly Midway Games. All of which were rejected due to the game's poor performance in sales.

A console port of the game was planned but never came out. This is most likely due to the closure of Rogue Entertainment in 2001.

The game wouldn't see a console release until 11 years after it's release, when it was released for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 as a extra included in the sequel, Alice: Madness Returns.

There was almost going to be a Sonic game based on skateboarding made for the Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation 2 called Sonic Extreme (not to be confused with the cancelled Sega Saturn game of the same name). This game was developed by a San Diego company called Vision Scape Interactive.

Development began in 2003 shortly after Vision Scape finished up Bare Knuckled Grind. The game was initially planned to be ported to other consoles. There were also going to other skateboarding games using the same engine, but with different intellectual properties, including the Nickelodeon TV show Rocket Power. Unfortunately, budget issues is what resulted in all 13 projects cancelled. They later worked on cutscene animations for Sonic Heroes, and later pitched to Sega the Sonic Extreme prototype.

The prototype was finished in a week, and originally had planned to use hoverboards. The player would be to race against Sonic or Shadow. Yuji Naka, former head of SEGA, was impressed at the time and asked Vision Scape to make design documents for the game. However, when they did show the documents to SEGA, they went silent.

Later on, in September 2005, Sonic Riders was announced. People at Vision Scape believed that SEGA took some of the concept from Sonic Extreme. and used it for Sonic Runners. However, legal issues from SEGA forced Vision Scape to shut down in 2006.
