Here is a topic I just ganked from Ezboard.  I spent a lot of time on it and I like it :)
I hope you all enjoy it!

I decided to make a topic of this since I am going through some cool stuff.  There are some GREAT games that were cancelled :(   oh well.. let the memories, wishes, and after thoughts live on!

Item #1: Golgo 13 was supposed to be released!!
http://ign64.ign.com/articles/060/060986p1.html
but canned 

Item #2 Grand Theft Auto was Supposed to be released:
http://ign64.ign.com/articles/131/131436p1.html
**Note the Quote:
Grand Theft Auto N64 promises loads of mindless violence.
but was canned. Too bad it didn't come out. Then those Ps2 fanboys wouldn't have a kiddy argument against it.**

item #3: Pilot Wings 2
http://ign64.ign.com/articles/061/061767p1.html
*dead... I am betting a 2004 GCN release  *

Please post up your comments.  There seems to be a lot of good games here.

A lot of these games did look cool IMO.

heck.. even Grand Theft Auto was going to be on the N64. I bet Sony Paid Rockstar to keep that from happening... honestly.

Heck... I would have loved to see Golgo 13.... ESPECIALLY Ultra Descent.

I was SOOOO hyped to get that game. Split screen Multiplayer DEscent on the N64 would have been awesome. I saw screen shots of it...etc... and man did it look like a cool game.

I really loved this game called "Shadowgate" for the 64 and there was supposed to be a sequel, never happened. That would be cool if the developers made it and released it, it would be like going back in time :lol :lol
 
Two that had their development moved from the 64 to GC are Eternal Darkness and Dinosaur Planet (Now Starfox Adventures).

did you see the N64 screens of Eternal Darkness? That didn't look too bad IMO.

I wouldn't doubt that either. If Nintendo had as many fans as Sony, than Nintendo would be on top. Apparently, Sony made a smart move on their part.
 
Sony made a couple good moves and happened to guess the market right honestly.

ALTHOUGH they could have gone bust just as well as NEC, 3D0....etc.

It just happened to work into their favor... and they just hit the market at the right time.. and had the right amount of advertising... and somehow scored developer relations in angst with Nintendo.

Honestly though.... if GTA and many of these other planned games hit the N64... I Wonder if the tables would be more even ... or not.

Guess I was wrong :lol

I checked those RE0 pics for the 64. Thats one that I'm glad they saved for the GC. I do remember playing RE2 on the 64, then on the GC. Honestly, it was a decent game, but you think they would have worked out some kinks for the GC.

Still, I agree with the whole thing about if GTA came out for the 64.
 
I'd like to add this one....way back on IGN 64.com days, there was..

#10. GHOULS N GHOSTS 64

GNG 64, eh?  That is sweet.  I wish there were some screen shots for it...

btw.. I modified my post above and included yours as well :)

Did you like this topic?

I saw you made a Ghouls topic... I think I am going to add that here

Edit... nevermind... I already did ::D I think I am losing it a bit :lol
It is ALWAYS cool to see these games though.

Bv :hat
 
:lol I think I am doing ok :D

But I am bumping this topic... it has some decent information on MIA N64 games :)

Here are afew that I remember

Too Human - pushed to GC, then Xbox 360.
Final Fantasy VII(google some pics, they are pretty sweet) I guess the 64 Carts wouldnt hold as much info as Square wanted to use.
I remember hearing of more, but it has been too long ago.
