There was a game by the name of Cabbage which was to be developed and released for the Nintendo 64DD, an expansion peripheral for the Nintendo 64. The project began development in 1992 and was helmed by Shigesato Itoi, creator of the Mother series, with other big name developers like Tsunekazu Ishihara, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Satoru Iwata eventually being added on to help finish the project. Even with this help, it would never see the light of day. It was said by Miyamoto that, "the conversations and design techniques that popped up when we were making Cabbage are, of course, connected to Nintendogs and other things that we're doing now." Those "other things" most likely refer to the Animal Crossing series, as it used many of the base elements said to have been made for Cabbage including the internal clock feature of the N64DD. To this day there are no known screenshots, videos, or demos of this cancelled game.
