Attachment A kart racer was planned to be released along side the cancelled "Crash Landed", the game was being lead by High Impact Games, a studio mostly comprised of former Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games employees. The game would have featured a number of returning characters, including Crash Bandicoot, Dingodile, and the long awaited return of Polar. A new character know simply as "Land Shark" was to be introduced. High Impact Games decided to introduce a dynamic kart modding system, in which the player could equip their character's kart with a number of crazy gadgets, including "Crab Tires" for good speed on sand, "Octopus Tires" to suction onto vertical surfaces, "Pig Engine" to belch their way to first place, and many more wacky gadgets. Unfortunately when Activision made the call to cancel "Crash Landed", the same went for this game.

Attachment In 2007, a computer animated feature based on The Legend of Spyro was announced. The movie would have been based on the then recent Legend of Spyro trilogy, and was originally going to be released around Christmas 2009, but was later pushed back to a different release date and was eventually cancelled. Daniel Altiere, who was a writer on the movie, stated that the movie was officially cancelled due to decisions made by ##Activision## to go in a different direction with the Spyro series, likely making reference to the Skylanders series.

The game was originally going to have an international release, but was eventually cancelled due to unknown reasons. It's believed the cancellation was due to copyright issues surrounding the names of the characters' Stands, all of which are musical references (i.e Gold Experience is named after the Prince album of the same name).

Attachment Developer [urli=developer/factor5/]Factor 5[/urli] was working on a Star Wars Rogue Squadron trilogy for the original [urli=console/xbox/]Xbox[/urli] which would've included online multiplayer, however it was canceled due to a change in management at [urli=developer/lucasarts/]LucasArts[/urli] at the time.

After the development of Lair, they reworked the game for the [urli=console/wii/]Wii[/urli] named Star Wars: Rogue Leaders - Rogue Squadron Wii and added new play styles like piloting ships with the Wii wheel and the Wii Balance Board to control the pedals. Also Wii Motion Plus would've been used for 1:1 lightsaber battles with 20 characters to choose from and force powers. The game would've ran on Lair's graphics engine at 60 frames-per-second. The project was finished, however canceled again due to the 2008 financial crisis.

Attachment A sequel to Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble was being developed for the GameCube and was even shown at Spaceworld 2001. The game was supposed to demonstrate how the Game Boy Advance could be used with the GameCube as a controller. The game used a special cartridge in the Game Boy Advance to detect tilting. Kirby was removed as the mascot, and the game was reworked as 'Roll-o-Rama'. It's unknown why the project was cancelled.

Attachment After the launch of Mario Strikers Charged, Next Level Games had pitched to Nintendo a Mario volleyball game titled Super Mario Spikers. Referred to during development as simply Mario Volleyball, it was to be a mix of volleyball and wrestling mechanics, and was presented with hints of a TV game show. It was intended for the Wii and work began on it around the end of 2006. Development was canceled in 2007 after the pitch had failed with Nintendo. The game was financed as a reward from the studio's previous work on the Strikers games, and the volleyball mechanic was thought to have been reused for Mario Sports Mix.

Attachment A spiritual successor to the game called "WWE Brawl" was in development by THQ, and was announced April 3, 2011 (the day before Wrestlemania 27). From the trailer, the game appeared to be a fighting game similar to the Power Stone series of games.

The first trailer was released early July on THQ's official Youtube channel, but was later removed along with all mentions of the game from their site. The game was eventually cancelled, possibly due to THQ's financial problems throughout 2011, or due to poor sales of WWE All Stars.

Attachment There were plans to release a Game Boy Color version of Jet Force Gemini in 2000, but the game was cancelled before it was even be announced, likely because previous Game Boy Color versions released alongside their Nintendo 64 counterparts (Perfect Dark and Conker's Pocket Tales) were received with low interest. In 2006, a prototype of the game was found and was said to be "nearly complete."

In an October 2012 interview, former Rare designer and producer Martin Wakeley said, "Jet Force Gemini on the Gameboy was the only occasion I can remember Rare outsourcing anything. It was being done by Bits Studios and was nearly done last time I saw it, I'm not sure what happened to it."

Attachment After the release of the first Kingdom Hearts game, Disney was planning on making an animated series based on the game. A full-color, voice-acted animatic pilot for the show was produced and received well, but ultimately the show was never made. Since Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II were formally announced around the time the pilot was made, Disney opted for Square-Enix to continue the story with more games rather than through an in-house animated series.

In 2022, the animatic pilot was uploaded online by its director Seth Kearsley.
