Before being closed down by THQ, Big Huge Games were working on a simulation / adventure game for the Wii, that was know as “God The Game”. It was going to be a mix between Black & White, Animal Crossing, Little King’s Story and Zelda.. at least from the few informations and concept arts leaked from the project. The game was cancelled in late 2008 when THQ ran into financial difficulties.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie is an RPG developed by Heartbeat and published by Enix for the Super Famicom in December 1995, only in Japan. From a beta screenshot published in a magazine, we can notice that the hero’s air looked different from the final ones.

Super Punch-Out!! was released in North America on 1994, in Europe in 1995 and finally in Japan as part of the Nintendo Power flash RAM cartridge series in March 1998. Super Punch-Out!! is the fourth game in the Punch-Out!! series and Nintendo IRD was developing this game simultaneously with Zoda’s Revenge: StarTropics II. The game is based on Takeda’s original arcade versions of Punch-Out!! and Super Punch-Out!!. Before the game was finished and released, some screenshots of the beta seen in gaming magazines showed the protagonist of the game with a different look compared to his final version seen today.

PoketMechs was a prototype for a side scrolling action game that was in development at Puppybomb Games in 2004, but sadly the project was cancelled, maybe because they did not find a publisher interested in the game.
