Don’t know if it was ever announced to be in development and existed in any form outside of being told there was going be 3 games, but would absolutely love to have seen what the 3rd Sonic book game would have been like. I still need to play the Black Knight game, but would absolutely hop on board the 3rd if it existed.
That, and would absolutely LOVE if Sega uncanceled the Riders series. Best racing game series to ever exists in my opinion. Too bad the 3rd game sucked so hard it caused the beautiful rose that is the Riders series to wither away.
I may be stretching the definition of cancelled a bit because we don't know if it was ever in development to begin with, but I will forever have a chip on my shoulder about Puyo Puyo 30th Anniversary.
The three best games in the series were Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary (2006), Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary (2011), and Puyo Puyo Chronicle (2016, this game is 25th in all but name). None of these games were released outside of Japan, but after Puyo Puyo Tetris's Switch port got localized in 2017 and sold really well, fans had high hopes that the pattern would continue and the next one of these would get localized too.
The pattern did not continue. Instead, Sega responded to PPT selling well by making Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. It's literally the exact same as the first game, only much buggier. It's a terrible game and I hate it.
To this day, we still have not gotten a proper mainline game. In fact, Sega just announced they're rereleasing Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S as a Switch 2 launch title. This is all the series will ever be from now on.

After being defeated, Satan joins the party and promises that the way back home lies at the top of the Color Tower, and all Arle would need to do now is scale it to return home.
Hmm.
I think “Satan as a playable character” might be one of those cultural-issue things that would come up when considering localization.
I was one of those people who bought Puyo Puyo Tetris as their first Puyo game, mainly to have a 1v1 Tetris on Switch. Turns out I really like Puyo though, but… “the tetris player is at a slight disadvantage”. Or, as this video essay explains, the problem with PPT is that the two games are fundamentally so different it’s impossible to balance them. Forcing them to play competitive online against each other, will always end up with a monoculture. In this case no one can play the first half of the Frankensteined game.
I’m sure Sega must realize that. Now they just have to care.
Silent Hills, it would have been interesting to see what Kojima and Guillermo del Toro would have created… but unfortunately.
Also: Starcraft Ghost, the original Fallout 3, Fez 2, Mother 3 on N64, Legacy of Kain the sixth game (not Dead Sun/Nosgoth), the original Duke Nukem Forever, and probably a bunch of others that I can’t remember right now.
I am also so incredibly disappointed in switch 2 news. We have a steam deck, so it won’t be too missed. I don’t think I’d be able to resist, though, if it were in my face every day like that. Good luck!
I picked up death stranding free giveaway recently and am waiting for the summer to dive in. Pretty stoked for it.
Right now, been playing marvel rivals with my kids. It’s a blast, and my daughter is a marvel nerd.
My thoughts on the Switch 2 are…contradictory. I like what they’re doing, but it feels iterative. I love my Switch because it is so small and cute, but it makes sense that a bigger screen (and joy-cons for ergonomics?) is better for a gamer. Worst is Nintendo doing Nintendo things and being a bit too predatory for my liking! From what I can see…it’s better to get an OLED and get a chip installed (CFW is soooooo nice to customize everything!). At least until maybe some sales on hardware happen? IDK.
Please let me know what you think of Death Stranding! I love to hear people’s thoughts. It can be so polarizing.
I have one of the hackable OG switch, no chip needed. Tried all the OS options. Pretty fun to tool around with. So cool that people spend that kind of energy making cfw and the like.
I had an original V1 which I had the jig/payload method for, and I’ve had a couple of OLEDs which I micro-soldered the chips onto. But after selling all mine off long ago (I preferred to emulate the games on my Steam Deck after getting it!), I picked up a cheap V2 and chipped it, too!
I love themezer (choosing themes are like a daily fun thing for me to do!)
I’ve played Subnautica so much that it’s no longer a challenge, even on hardcore. I installed this mod (Deathrun Remade) to increase the difficulty and had the most fun I’ve had in a while
