Aliens: Colonial Marines is a side scrolling action game (similar to Contra / Metal Slug) that was in development by WayForward Technologies for the Nintendo DS, but the project was later cancelled along with all the other Aliens games that were going to be published by SEGA (a FPS and an RPG for the Xbox 360 / PS3). It seems that SEGA decided to not release the Aliens games for financial troubles.
Thanks to Dark_ViVi and ABetaName for the contribution!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing those screens and the video. Already looked pretty good, what a pity that it had to be dropped.
The Aliens: Colonial Marines games (for all current systems) were not actually cancelled.
Were those games posponed indefinitely? I wonder if they will really be published in the future :O
Here’s your answer, and it even links to this page.
This actually did get released eventually as Aliens: Infestation. It’s actually a pretty good game too.
oooh indeed! i need to update this page… any beta differences from this to the final version? :O
This was in a Nintendo power issue back in about their anniversary special in about 2010-2011 (the one with raccoon mario on the cover)
as other people have mentioned this game was reborn as aliens: infestation but i found two trailers that resembles the screenshots and trailer from this page but uses the name of the final version
