Marvelous has just announced that Kaio: The King of Pirates (supposed to come out on 3DS) has been cancelled. It was the game Keiji Inafune worked on, at Comcept.
It was supposed to be a big cross-media project, but due to rapid changes in market conditions, it looks like it became too hard to make this project. I believe they aw how Bomba Crusher, Gyrobomba and Hero Bomba did, and went all "NOPE". From the looks of it, the whole project cost them 461m Yen.
Trailer for those who can't remember the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6aggT5JENs
