Top 10 Lost or Cancelled Video Games from Popular Gaming Franchises

Super Mario 64 was a critical hit worldwide, so it wouldn't be a surprise that a sequel was planned. Like URA Zelda, it was planned for the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive. However, several games and expansions, including this one, were canceled.

Only one demo was ever shown, and the game would have had the same art style as the first. Luigi would have been a playable character.

At the 2010 E3 convention, an announcement was made about a new Assassin's Creed game called "Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy." The plot was very similar to Assassin's Creed: Revelations, which the game would eventually be reworked into. The game was planned for the Nintendo 3DS.

The only footage available is the logo and a small teaser trailer.

Sonic has had a lot of canceled games, but this might be his most well-known. Sonic X-Treme was intended to be released for Christmas in 1996. Several plot lines were considered for the game, such as Sonic collecting the Six Magic Rings in order or trying to cure himself from Robotnik's Doom Virus.

The game was canceled due to problems with the staff, but an early demo was made.

This was supposed to be an expansion for Ocarina of Time. Not much information about this game was given by Nintendo, but some details were revealed. When Link walked in the sand, his footprints would appear. Anything that Link damaged would stay that way for the rest of the game, and the dungeons would be slightly altered.

The project was canceled due to the cancellation of the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive.

Grand Theft Auto 64 was a canceled port of the original game for the Nintendo 64. Even though not much is known about the game, it was originally going to be an original game with better graphics. It was canceled right before it was to be revealed to the public, and the only known trace of its existence is an IGN page about the game.

This was supposed to be a platformer for the Pac-Man franchise and was being developed by Namco Home Tech. It would have been the first 3D Pac-Man game released on a home console. The game was even shown at E3. Namco scrapped it due to quality issues, eventually reworking it into Pac-Man World.

Some footage of the game is available online.

This Call of Duty game was a canceled third-person shooter made by Underground Development. The plot was set in World War II and focused on Italy. The D-pad would be used to give direct orders to the squad the player is on, with several different commands.

A video showing its gameplay suggested it was far from completion, with only two vehicles and two weapons included.

Fallout Online was a massive multiplayer game set in the Fallout Universe. There isn't a lot of information available, but the game was actually completed. However, a legal dispute between Fallout's developer, Interplay, and owner, Bethesda Softworks, led to a lawsuit, ultimately causing the game's cancellation.

This game was turned into the Pikmin series. It was only a tech demo.

Not to be confused with Guitar Hero Live, this game would have featured a stringed controller and virtual music videos.
