When that wonderful little console was announced, there were a lot of little game teasers that were hyped far more than they should have been. ![]() The early days of the Nintendo Wii and vaporware go together like peanut butter and pickles, which is a great combination so don’t knock it until you try it. So I asked my fellow Destructoid writers what game are the most upset over never getting the opportunity to play. This got me thinking about game cancellations and the titles we were never meant to play. For as sad as it was for us in the west, I can’t imagine how heartbroken the 37 people who own an Xbox One in Japan felt. Last month, Xbox One owners looking forward to their own exclusive PlatinumGames title were disappointed when the plug was pulled on Scalebound. ![]() Be it company infighting, too grand of a premise or simple economics it can often feel like no excuse is good enough when you had your heart set on a particular title. In an industry that is 50% hype and 50% complaining about the hype, it’s absolutely deflating when a game you were so looking forward to is suddenly scrapped.
