Attachment Star Wars Outpost was a canceled game for browsers, iOS and Android being developed by LucasArts' Singapore studio. Inspired by games like EVE Online and Settlers of Catan, players could manage outposts, trade resources with other players and choose to support either the Empire or Rebels. The game was nearly completed until it was shut down in April, 2013. The game would've also featured interconnectivity with the also canceled title Star Wars: First Assault, where players who built weapons and ships in Outpost could then have them available in First Assault.

Super Noah's Ark 3D
Super Noah's Ark 3D (1994)

▼
Super 3D Noah's Ark originally began development as a game based on the Clive Barker movie Hellraiser. Wisdom Tree acquired the rights to make a game based on the film for $50,000, and licensed the Wolfenstein 3D engine from id Software, believing that the Wolfenstein 3D engine and the first-person shooter genre would be a good match for the license. Development for the game began on the original NES, using a cartridge equipped with a co-processor that would have tripled the processing speed of the NES to allow the game to run fast enough. However, development of this version was halted because Wisdom Tree could not work around the NES' strict palette limitations, and because the cartridge itself would have been prohibitively expensive, with an estimated cost of $100 per cartridge for the consumer. Wisdom Tree then allowed their Hellraiser license to expire, and instead retooled the game for the SNES as Super 3D Noah's Ark.

Attachment Kirby Air Ride was originally going to be released for the Nintendo 64. When the game was first announced, it was known as Kirby Bowl 64. A year later, the name was changed to Kirby's Air Ride along with many elements. Reportedly, the game's development was very long and was mostly quiet. After the game went through many changes, it was eventually cancelled. Years later, the game was resurfaced on the Nintendo GameCube in the form of a short preview in March of 2003 at the D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas and at E3 in May 2003.

Attachment Rebel Warrior was a concept for a game where you play as a Wookiee fighting against Imperial forces. The idea was pitched to George Lucas for a game that would become Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, however, he shot the idea down believing that a Wookiee protagonist who could only make grunts and barks to communicate wouldn't allow for great character development and interaction.

Attachment Star Wars: Smuggler, later becoming the project Scum and Villainy, was a canceled Star Wars game which only reached the concept stage of development. The project began in 2004 when Jim Ward became president of LucasArts and part of an effort to find stories to develop into games. You would play as a smuggler in an Imperial-dominated galaxy where you could buy items for low and sell high and gain big rewards from them, however you would be at risk of entangling with Imperial forces. Concept from the project would later be used for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Attachment A third entry in the Knights of the Old Republic series, Knights of the Old Republic 3, was planned but canceled due to LucasArts hitting the most difficult period in its history, with the project only reaching the concept stage. The project began circa 2003 with team members and design elements being brought over from the canceled "Proteus project".

Concept artwork for the game were of a Coruscant vehicle, a new character named Naresha, a character head sketch, Taloraan, Mandalore City layout, Environment with map, and a Rodia crash site. Team members on the project were John Stafford as designer, and Molly Denmark and Corey Allemeier as concept artists.

According to Stafford about the game, "got quite a bit of traction... we wrote a story, designed most of the environments/worlds, and many of the quests, characters, and items."

Attachment The NES prototype of Mother has an anti-piracy message, preventing it from being played on an emulator.

A ROM-translating group, "Neo Demiforce", created a ROM that circumvents the anti-piracy measures. They also added the word "Zero" to the title screen in order to prevent confusion with Mother 2, released in North America as Earthbound for SNES.

There is an unfinished instance that lays just north of Stratholme. It can be seen on the world map but is otherwise inaccessible without the use of glitches or exploits. It contains segments of Stratholme that are inaccessible through normal play including an untextured model of Naxxramus.

Through the use of glitches in 5.4.2, it was possible to fall out of the Naxxramas dungeon in Northrend, walk to a glitched instance of Stratholme, past the unused portal in Stratholme to find the unfinished model of Naxxramas.

Attachment A new entry in the Conker series called Conker: Gettin' Medieval was at one point planned but never made. The game would've heavily focused on multi-player to the point where it'd be completely online. The game would've been set in Medieval times, with Death serving as the main character and Conker shifting into a guest role. The game's world would've been populated by characters from the Future War scenario in Live & Reloaded, only with their designs altered to become medieval counter-parts.
