Top Gun 64 [N64 - Cancelled]

Top Gun: Fire At Will was released by Spectrum Holobyte in 1996 for the PC and Sony Playstation, but it was originally a cancelled title for the Nintendo 64.  The title features any actors from the film, with James Tolkan reprising his role as Stinger. The game’s overall plot focuses on the player-character, Maverick, going to combat in Cuba, North Korea, and Libya against a secret group of mercenary pilots called the “Cadre.”

The N64 version was probably canned because it was seen as an economic risk, and they decided to move the project on other platforms that were more cheap to develope on.  Probably the game released for PSX and PC was not the exact same one as the original N64 concept and for more informations you can download the original pitch for Top Gun 64 in here:  Top Gun Ultra 64 Pitch (PDF)
