I remember one game from the Megaman Purge of 2010 that caught my eye. Rockman Online; an crossover between X-series and Classic-series featuring everyone from the Megaman Killers to Flame Hyenard to that one intro boss from X3. Even the guys from Command Mission, which Capcom otherwise ignores, showed up.
Gameplay-wise, it was an attempt to turn a platformer into an MMO and it looked really weird. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it except for like Maplestory. You could play as X, Zero, Duo, and Cinnamon. I look at it and wonder what could have been, but it was being made in Korea so I also think its cancellation was a blessing. Still, I find it sad this was the only other game that actually acknowledges Command Mission had to get scrapped the way it did.

Most of the cancelled games I remember are all various Mega Man games. I dimly recall pieces of a mecha game that people were saying was to be somewhat like Dark Souls, focusing on melee combat, but I don't have a video of it, and searches are fruitless.

I don't know if this was cancelled as much as it was a scam, but there was this extremely edgy fighting game that was being hyped/advertised/made fun of for a stint of time years ago that was all live capture of actors like oldschool MK and it had bad fatalities.
It's title was fucking terrible, something along the lines of Deathcore or some such shit. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

It's really hard for me to remember details of it. It was a huge fucking joke on /v/, almost everyone was making fun of it saying it'd never come out or if it did release it would be horrible, and some people were trying to hype it up but if they weren't marketers they were likely /v/irgins taking the piss. I'm pretty sure this was before Kickstarter and Patreon were even a thing so I have no idea why it was being developed, I don't see how they were getting money for it.
I'm trying to remember characters. I think there was some emo fuckboy with a white and blue palette and a mask, he may have had ice powers. I remember some goth slut who was some kind of bug/spider girl? Some kind of noir cop guy. It was a real trainwreck, I found it fascinating at the time but it only recently popped back into my memory these last couple weeks.

DEATH CARGO. That's what this piece of shit is/was called. Apparently in 2017 they rebranded/reused assets as GORE BREAKER. I cannot find any fucking gameplay of Death Cargo after a cursory search. What a little chunk of fightan history that I had forgotten. Apparently the SBFP boys actually got a copy of Death Cargo from somebody and uploaded a video of them playing it but the devs killed it, I can't find any gameplay, and it used to be out there.

I think I know what you're talking about. It was I believe Italian in origin and the dev was some dumbass who called everything else pussy shit and whatnot, and one of the gameplay videos had the stage be a slaughterhouse or a morgue of sorts where hanging meat would get in the fucking way of the actual fight.
>>16381457
Bingo. You're right, it has been shoah'd.

This is the ONLY surviving gameplay I can find. This is it. I'm starting to remember more and more shit about it. It was some terrible scifi shit where the whole gimmick was the "death cargo" were living weapons, and each character was either infected or equipped with some kind of living weapon. I remember the detective guy being some regular ass noir detective but he had some kind of slug gun.
This shit is really getting my juices going. This is absolute garbage but I really want to dredge up info about it.

It should be a crime similar to false advertising to release footage of a game, and not release it.

Shantae almost had a GBA game. Here's an unreleased beta demo of it. Still as sexy as ever.
Mega Man Legend 3 was famously cancelled. Here's a promo video for it, including that cute Aero girl.
Do you remember those two Oracle Zelda games (Seasons & Ages)? There was going to be a third game called Mystical Seed of Courage, where you save the last of the 3 goddesses, Farore. Here was its finalized logo art before it got cancelled.

Just like Warcraft Adventures this was never seriously intended to release, just put into motion to buy up some studio for monopolization purposes. Same reason they hired the lead designer for Red Alert and put him in the closet to work on trash that never had a chance to succeed. It's less about staying on top and keep any potential competition out.

They were completely different games, different plots, different combat systems and different characters. Square Enix just reused the main cast and threw away everything else that was actually worthy

Scalebound really had no chance. Microsoft were too hands on with the game, when they should have just let Platinum do their thing. Now Nintendo have them locked down, but at least they get to make the games they want to make.

I still don't fully understand why they cancelled it the minute Inafune left, and why doing that necessitated they cancel literally everything else Megaman related they had at the time. Was there some sort of corporate politics going on behind the scenes?
And even disregarding all of that, what on earth compelled them to blame the fans for "showing no interest" as an excuse despite the activity on the MML3 forums at the time? They were ASKING for the bad PR there.

a combination of honor and spite. It wasn't just that Inafune left; he had called them out on working conditions in such a way as it would necessitate firing him.

How would you prosecute it? No monetary transactions took place. Unless the game took preorders and then got cancelled, in which case, sure. But it's different from false advertisement. With that, you pay money and don't receive what you expected to get. With this, you also don't receive what you expected to get, but you also did not pay for anything.

They were never even developing MP4, it will come out on the Switch and their next console just like BOTW. This was planned from the very start and they will be hailed as heroes for it because in the eyes of the public, they didn't rush out a shit game.

I think there are two big games I really wanted to see back in the early 2000s: an FPS/RPG hybrid game in the vein of System Shock and Deus Ex called Amen: The Awakening; after a handful of promising screenshots, the game vanished completely.
The other game I was waiting for was Loose Cannon, which was somewhat akin to GTA (action open world). The game got stuck in development hell. From what I recall, they first tried to cram as much content as they could, hoping computers would become powerful enough that the game could be playable as it was released. They got so sidetracked by creating detailed environments that they missed their release schedule twice and realized that what they had to show looked outdated. So then tried to up everything again until Microsoft pulled the plug after years of hyping the game. Or so I recall.
