WWE All Stars (2011)

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.

Platform: Dreamcast

▼
A Dreamcast light gun was never released in the USA until Mad Catz developed the Dream Blaster, which was reminiscent of the type 2 phaser found in Star trek. Sega did produce their own official light gun, but it wasn't sold in the United States, possibly because Sega didn't want its name on a gun in light of recent school shootings (the Columbine High School massacre).

RTX Red Rock was originally also developed for the GameCube, but development on that version fell behind the Playstation 2 version, and neither one was going to be ready for the release date. The decision was made to shift development resources to the PS2 version so that at least one version would release on time, rather than delay both.

A sequel was once in the works for the game, though very few screenshots and only one gameplay video were ever released. These materials revealed new playable characters such as The Hulk and The Juggernaut. However, due to poor game sales and the eventual closing of EA and Marvel's partnership in 2008, the game was eventually cancelled.

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock was originally intended to be part of a trilogy, however the sequels were later canceled. It's speculated that they were shelved due to the bugs present in the game at launch, and it receiving average review scores. The BBC has said that a sequel could still be made in the future, but did not have anything planned at the time.

Metropolis Street Racer had an extremely rocky development cycle. Multiple delays of the game pushed its European release date from late 1999 to late 2000, and the Japanese release was cancelled entirely.

After its release in Europe, various bugs in the game resulted in a recall, with Sega issuing replacement discs. The re-issued European version became the US release.

Attachment PlayStation and Game Boy counterparts of the game were planned but later canceled. The PlayStation version was being developed by BlueSky Software and featured completely different gameplay, without the rings and more akin to Tomb Raider. It was canceled possibly due to Titus' license expiring (though another trailer suggests it was to be published by Interplay).

In 2020, a prototype build of the game dated at June 22, 2000 was uploaded to the Internet Archive.

Attachment Mighty the Armadillo's sprite sheet is nearly identical to Sonic's sprite sheet from Sonic Crackers, a Genesis prototype game from which Knuckles Chaotix drew its elastic ring mechanic.

This has led fans to speculate that Sonic was originally intended to be in the game instead of Mighty, but was changed late in development. This, as well as the theory that Tails was also meant to be included, is backed up by other assets in the game, including Amy Rose being hidden in a sound test and Sonic and Tails appearing in the ending screen when the game is completed with all 7 Chaos Rings.
