really that was your reasoning nish okay
well welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 video games canceled for dumb
reasons before we begin we publish new
videos every day so be sure to subscribe
for more great content for this list
we’re looking at games where the reason
for cancellation has already been
clarified we won’t be considering games
that were cancelled because of funding
or missed deadlines though we’re also
not counting games where the reason for
cancellation is still in question number
10 super mario Spikers mario has
certainly become the sports fanatic
throughout the years we’ve seen him play
baseball golf basketball tennis and
soccer not to mention a kart racing but
if you think about it he’s never played
volleyball outside of the Mario Party
and sports mix of course so next-level
games was ready to make a full-fledged
Baldy ball game with some wrestling in
the mix but Nintendo was not sold an
unnamed Nintendo rep stated that the
game violated its quote code of honor we
can only assume from the animations that
Nintendo saw the violence is too
realistic for the Mario franchise okay
in an alternate universe ea never
acquired the license to our beloved
battlefront series this sequel to the
childhood memories of many would have
implemented seamless travel between on
foot and space combat developed by free
radical design the game would have been
released for the PC Xbox 360 and ps3 but
tension rose between free radical and
publisher Lucas arts missed deadlines
caused late payments which caused missed
deadlines which caused late payments and
so on and so forth
this essentially gave way to a cycle of
spite and finger-pointing once Disney
bought the rights to star worse the
project was permanently terminated the
license was sold to EA and the rest is
number eight thrill kill we live in a
world where video games can show some
pretty gruesome stuff but when someone
pushes the envelope there’s bound to be
some complaints created by paradox
entertainment thrill kill was definitely
one of those games that was filled to
the brim with offensive content I mean
looking at this footage when their
publisher Virgin entertainment was
bought by pay for it
yay well let’s just say there weren’t a
lot of smiles going around that day ea
canceled the whole damn thing weeks
before launch as they didn’t want to
publish something so senselessly violent
they would of course later go on to
number seven eight days most
cancellations happen because of budget
cuts lack of resources or time
constraints keep that in mind for a
minute
eight days was an action game designed
to last eight days utilizing a real
world clock two main protagonists and
what would have been one of gaming’s
based worlds take a wild guess as to why
Sony cancelled this one well it was no
online mode yeah the game was canceled
because Sony wanted to focus more on
games with online components yeah we’re
not even sure how to respond to that one

number six Pirates of the Caribbean
Armada of the Damned
no you didn’t miss a movie in the
Pirates franchise but we all missed out
on what could have been an epic
swashbuckling adventure developed by
propoganda Games when this RPG was
revealed at e3 2010 many people were
very excited finally the Pirates of the
Caribbean was gonna get an amazing game
that it deserved
then Disney decided to do a little
restructuring and at the time Tron
Legacy was about to hit theaters Disney
decided to push the whole resources to
Tron evolution the game in order to
coincide with the movie that game then
basically bombed which prompted is need
to close propaganda games we lost a
promising looking game to get a rushed
Ruby time thanks Disney they say dead
men tell no tales
number 5 crash landed and Crash Team
the wait for crashes returned wouldn’t
have been as long if these two games saw
the light of day serving as a reboot for
the franchise crash-landed would have
been an origin story where crash must
save tiny baby bandicoot’s releasing
sometime around it CTR 2010 would have
been an exciting new kart racer
featuring customization options similar
to the latest Mario Kart games our
nerves were pretty struck when we found
out the poor excuse for the cancellation
of these games
remember those rumors of Sony possibly
buying back Crash Bandicoot
yeah well Activision cancelled those two
games because of a rumor that wasn’t
true for the spiteful stuff Activision
[Music]
say what you want about fill fish
there’s no denying the brilliance of Fez
his 2d platformer that will challenge
your perception and observation skills
the reveal of Fez – got a lot of people
excited but unfortunately that didn’t
last long after a heated argument with
Marcus beer of GameTrailers phil fish
got fed up and not only cancelled Fez –
but announced his departure from the
gaming industry as a whole to this day
Paulie Tron is up for sale along with
the Fez IP it’s a real shame that some
criticism led to a mental breakdown for
fish which led to the cancellation of
number three Jurassic Park survival
[Music]
lesson number one in game development
the relationship between a developer and
a publisher is extremely crucial in
making good games
unfortunately Jurassic Park survival
would become victim to a horrible
relationship between savage
entertainment and publishers Vivendi and
Konami despite the great reception of
the games reveal at e3 2001 the vendee
was not happy with how the game was
turning out as its original purpose was
to be a tie-in with Jurassic Park 3
eventually Vivendi started delaying
payments frustrating savage
entertainment so much that they
ultimately cancelled the entire thing
the venn DS excuse for the late payments
was due to savage missing deadlines
games take time to make the vendee and
people gotta eat in order to make those
games number 2 Star Wars 1313 steering
away from your typical play as a Jedi
game Star Wars 1313 was gonna be a
gritty adventure where we could play as
a bounty hunter
imagine the faces of millions of gamers
gushing over the game when it was
revealed at e3 2012 then knows
previously stated Disney bought the Star
Wars franchise Disney assured fans that
development would continue with a
different studio but this would prove to
be an empty promise when Disney left
that trademark expire Disney just
couldn’t let an M rated Star Wars game
number one silent hill’s this was
Konami’s next big thing this was gonna
be their next big hit after Metal Gear
Solid 5 and they screwed the pooch
PT was the playable teaser for a brand
new Silent Hill game with Hideo Kojima
directing along with filmmaker Guillermo
del Toro and starring Norman Reedus
the whole darn thing got canned after
Kojima and Konami had confliction and
Kojima came out to announce his
departure from the company as soon as
mgs 5 was finished Kojima and del Toro
are now working on the mysterious deaths
stranding but we may never know what
silent hill’s would have been like what
we do know is that Konami will never be
able to live this down do you agree with
