^ Speaking of that, if you read the Wiki page for Super Mario 64 (I think it's on that page) it mentions that there were ideas for a 3D Super Mario on the SNES that would utilize the Super FX chip, but the project was eventually turned into Mario 64.
Also, the 64DD console had a ton of games that were either just idea or had some development on that turned into regular N64 games.
Canceled games that turned into other games?

I remember HALO (DC) became HALO (XBOX).
And the spiritual sequel to Nightshade (NES) was Shadowrun (SNES).

No, Halo was a Mac game before it was switched over to Xbox. It was never in development for DC.pakopako wrote:I remember HALO (DC) became HALO (XBOX).

Bungie also advertised a Windows version before the game became an XBOX exclusive. The Windows and Mac versions still happened, but got delayed a long time and handed to other development teams because of the XBOX deal.BoringSupreez wrote:No, Halo was a Mac game before it was switched over to Xbox.

The thread has made it this far without anyone mentioning Contra Force? That one was originally supposed to be unrelated to the Contra series, under the name Arc Hound.
