Pining for a Game Boy Advance version of Command and Conquer? There was an upcoming RTS game, cheekily titled Command and Destroy Advance, but it was cancelled. We say cheekily titled, as the game looked rather similar to Westwood’s classic Command and Conquer. Inspiration or plagarism? The game took place in 2018, in a scenario where Earth is stripped of all natural resources. You could have play as three different sides: Humans, Aliens or Worms (big worms, mind). There were 50 different units to build and control, and multiplayer skirmishes. Sadly, the developers never found a publisher..

It seems that this game was somehow released on the DS, but it appears that it wasn’t carried in stores and was only sold by mail order.

Rick Dangerous advance was cancelled because Spoutnick Team received a mail announcing that the copyrights holders of “Rick Dangerous” doesn’t want to sell their license for “internal reasons”. So the team cannot legally continue to work on a game which is not their property and they decided to stop developing a non releasable project.

Chronos Twins is an action-adventure released for the DS in 2007. The game show a different perspective on time travel than most games. Instead of revisiting an area in two different times, both screens show the same setting during two eras as gamers explore the land with a present-day hero. Chronos Twins was originally planned for release for GBA, but after the Nintendo DS rise the game has been ported to it. In 2004, the GBA version was cancelled due to the publisher’s fear to legal disputes with Capcom, after graphics rips were discovered on Capcom BBS and other Internet forums violating Capcom’s Copyrights. Three Wonders, Marvel Vs Capcom and Magic Sword graphics are still visible on the released videos in the major gaming websites. Surprisingly enough, the publisher’s website still shows GBA screenshots on their game’s website. – [info from Wikipedia]

Mythri was an upcoming American-developed, Japanese-style RPG for the Game Boy Advance. Originally for the Game Boy Color, development switched gears after the GBA was released. The game has been in development by Team XKalibur since around 2000. Message from Keith Martineau, Co-Owner of Team XKalibur: “Mythri was officially cancelled at the end of 2005. Team XKalibur has been disbanded, due to lack of resources. Most of our team is now scattered across the games industry working for various companies. Co-Owner Tomm Hulett and myself may one day make a new studio and attempt Mythri again, having learned many lessons from our first attempt at launching an independent games studio. So hopefully everyone who supported us in the early going will get to experience Mythri someday. – [info from Wikipedia]

A playable prototype of the game was released online by a former member of the team in September 2016.

Protodude has made us to notice about a rare beta video of MegaMan Battle Network 1 from the Tokyo Game Show 2000, in the Youtube channel of SuperMega233. There’s quite a bit of superficial differences between this build and the final such as:

Odd PET icon, “jumps” when Netto receives mail/call.
Unused “matrix” scrolling background in battles
Unused “matrix” scrolling background in school computer
Alternate dialogue in School Sequence
Peculiar Battle Chip above Rock’s head, removed?
Unused Internet background
Alternate sound effects in battle, buster shots

Thanks a lot to Protodude for the contribution!
