New Cancelled Games & Their Lost Media Added to the Archive

The last issue of Official Nintendo Magazine UK arrived at Cubed today, and inside they found an interesting interview with  Steve Lycett, executive producer at  Sumo Digital, the software house that created Sega Superstars Tennis.

Update: Horatio & Danny make us notice that this video is from a sonic fangame, named “Sonic Robo Blast 2”, with a Banjo WAD. Thanks for this info! Searching through google i have found an “official” website for the game, but it seems down at the moment..
