Although released in Europe, I would of loved to play Shao Lin for the PS1, it was one of the 2 games I wanted to play (other one being Thrill Kill).

Oh, and here's hope for Shenmue III *Raise bottle of Jager*

- Not a big fan, but I think Fallout 3 (Van Buren) by Black Isle Studios could've been interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uuDKrY7eW0;
- Darkstalkers for 32X, just to know how it would turn out;
- Thrill Kill for PS1, naturally;
- Psycho Soldier for NES;
- Not that I'm a fan either, but I'd like to know what Goldeneye 007 would look like on the SNES if development wasn't moved to the N64;
- Earthbound 64;
- Mega Man V for Game Boy Color.
I thought Thrill Kill did come out for the PS1 and I know Mega Man V is out on the Game Boy, I have it upstairs.
Thrill Kill was developed entirely, but wasn't published, since it was too violent. Former developers later released it on the internet.

Mega Man V was out for the original Game Boy, but a re-release for the Game Boy Color was cancelled (it would probably be the same, but I'm a fan).

I have a theory that SC Ghost was just put out there to cover them working on SC 2.

Well, technically Metroid Dread isn't dead yet:

I loved the San Francisco Rush series (well, maybe not the first game so much but Rush 2 and Rush 2049). I just recently found out that there was a planned sequel to Rush 2049 but Midway cancelled all arcade development part of the way through the project; only 3 of the 8 tracks were finished.

You can find it online to download, if you're really interested in playing it, or you can always play Wutang: Shaolin Style for the same effect, minus much of the violence and the midget on stilts.

Isn't that the whole point of the game?
