There's only six seconds of footage from it, but Cosmic Walker was such an interesting concept: https://youtu.be/Y4V2XPVCXO4
Disaster: Day of Crisis US release
Wind Waker 2 for GameCube, they haxed it to focus on Twilight Princess. Wind Waker art style was so beautiful, the DS hardware couldn't do it justice.
The cancelled Argonaut Yoshi game could have been great, but I hadn't anticipated it in any way.
Super Mario 64 2
And no, Sunshine definitely doesn't count.
How about the first trailer of Re4?
https://youtu.be/bBA8shVPZ64
That time the game was about terror and contamination. Very different than the final product.
If it ever really existed, then Metroid Dread.
man I could have sworn someone showed something. Maybe it was a Halo game for the DS though that im thinking about.
Since we're on the subject, I remember there being some evidence that Dread existed in some form at some point. But does anybody have the links or know exactly what the "evidence" was? I recall interview conversations where it was mentioned I think?

I dont know how many times RE4 changed, but i liked the Supernatural version, or at least it looks more interesting to me.
I thought Winter looked amazing. I watched that trailer so many times.
Looks like an atari jaguar game lol!Is this only first party?
If not I would have to say I was crushed Robotech never made it
out.
I haven't played Tokyo Mirage Session yet (apparently it's pretty good), but that's definitely not the game people initially anticipated of Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem.
Sadness for Wii.

Also Fire Emblem 64 would have been cool. Idk if it would have ever come stateside.
Is the screenshot real? Seems an April fool joke.Metroid 64
They actually worked quite quite a bit on it before Twilight PrincessIt never existed.
It's not cancelled when it was never greenlighted or even prototyped to begin with.

Anyone else remember Dead Phoenix?
This and some game called Silicon Valley by some guys who made the Lemmings games...
Honorable mention would have to go to the "Zelda 2 remake on SNES" proof of concept that ended up being used as the basis for OoT on the N64. I loved Zelda 2, so I just remembered being mystified that there was supposedly some type of "BS-remake" ROM that never saw the light of day, years ago.
This has been mentioned a few times already.
I'm pretty sure there is no video of Metroid Dread in existence, publically anyway. Would love to be proven wrong though.
That's the first I've heard of it (a sizzle reel). Surely if it existed something would have surfaced about it by now?I'm not sure if there is anything publicly available, at least in my brief moment searching youtube, but I was at E3 the year I think it was mentioned and at the Nintendo booth they had a video wall playing a sizzle reel of various games and Dread was one of them. It was like 30s or maybe a minute or something. Really short. Game looked like ass. You could tell it was super early in development. Maybe someone out there took video of that video wall when it played and has it sitting somewhere. Or maybe my Google skills are lacking.
I was always intrigued by Cosmic Walker, even though we basically knew nothing about it.
This is a great one!!!Star Wars Rogue Squadron Trilogy on Wii

Yeah, Mother 3.
Also...does Dinosaur Planet count ?
Anything Rare Gamecube, specially Perfect Dark, miyamoto said in one e3 interview he had footage of it running on GC but never showed it.
Someone from IGN (Craig Harris?) claimed they'd been shown a script or GDD or some other internal document related to Metroid Dread, I forget the specifics.
My choice too. Was so hyped just from the little we saw. I alway imagined it to be Endless Ocean in space.
Don't you mean that it showed up on a list of games Ninty was exhibiting at that one E3? That's the only "document" story I know of in relation to Dread.
Another good one!Either Star Fox 2
