List of cancelled Nintendo 64 games

This is a list of cancelled Nintendo 64 video games. The Nintendo 64 is a video game console released by Nintendo in 1996. The console was a moderate success with its 32.93 millions units sold; it was three times as much as one competitor, the Sega Saturn, but only a third of the sales of its other competitor, the original PlayStation. Third party game developers cancelled games due to its unconventional N64 controller and Nintendo's decision to stick with the game cartridge format, which featured far less storage than the PlayStation's CD-ROMs. Additionally, the brief lifespan and commercial failure of the 64DD, a Japan-only Nintendo 64 add-on, led to the cancellation or reworking of many first party games. This list documents all known games that were confirmed for the Nintendo 64 at some point, but did not end up being released for it in any capacity. It also documents cancelled 64DD games, or 64DD-specific versions of games never released. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}

Title(s)	Notes/Reasons	Developer	Publisher
1080° Snowboarding 2	Shortly after the release of 1080° Snowboarding (1998), Nintendo announced that Left Field Productions was taking over development for a sequel title on the Nintendo 64. Pre-production planning was done on the game, but it was cancelled early on in favor of moving development to the then-upcoming GameCube platform. When Left Field later ended their exclusivity contract with Nintendo, their work was returned to Nintendo, and the game was reworked internally to release as 1080 Avalanche (2003) for the GameCube.

360: Three Sixty / 3Sixty	In 1999, it was reported that the PC release would be ported to the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation, though only the latter ever materialized. [7] [8]	Smart Dog	Cryo Interactive
40 Winks	A platformer in development for the Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation. The N64 version was far enough along to have review copies sent out to publications such as Nintendo Power , but just prior to the PlayStation version's 1999 release, financial troubles with the game's publisher, GT Interactive, and their subsequent buyout by Infogrames, led to the delay of the N64 version. That, combined with the PlayStation version's poor reviews, led to its cancellation. Twenty years later, Piko Interactive obtained the rights, raised money through a successful Kickstarter and released an unofficial, aftermarket N64 version of the game in 2019.

64 Wars	An entry of Nintendo's Wars series announced for the Nintendo 64.

Beetle Adventure Racing 2 / Adventure Racing 2	A sequel to the original Beetle Adventure Racing (1999) was started shortly after the completion of the first title. During development, the team decided to drop the Volkswagen Beetle licensing and experiment with a number of other different non-licensed vehicles instead, leading to the name change of Adventure Racing 2. The game was eventually cancelled, as the original title was a critical success, but a commercial failure. [25]	Paradigm Entertainment	Electronic Arts
Cabbage	A pet raising/breeding game in development by Nintendo employee Shigesato Itoi with Shigeru Miyamoto for the 64DD. The game featured a protracted development cycle between 1997 and 2000.

Catroots	Appeared at E3 2000 at Nintendo's booth without even ever being previously announced. Even Nintendo of America reps at the event did not know any information beyond being instructed to show off the game at the event. Shigeru Miyamoto later gave a little background on the title - it was an N64 game in development from Marigul Management, a company Nintendo created and funded to help developers create more software for the N64.

Publications reported it was scheduled for a 2000 release and classified it as a 3D first person shooter. In early 2000, the N64 version was quietly cancelled and the project was restarted for the GameCube, eventually releasing in 2002 as Die Hard: Vendetta . [49] [50] [51] [52] [53]	Bits Studios	Fox Interactive
Dinosaur Planet	Originally started as an original IP for the Nintendo 64 in 1997, the game featured a lengthy development process, which included a re-brand midway through, moving it into the Star Fox series of games. Eventually the Nintendo 64 version was cancelled in favor of a GameCube release, where it released as Star Fox Adventures (2002). [54]	Rare	Nintendo
Donkey Kong 64 DD	Donkey Kong 64 was originally in development in 1997 for the 64DD, but its development was cancelled and transitioned to the regular Nintendo 64, where it released in late 1999. This version of the game played far differently from the final product; early versions played more like the Donkey Kong Country games on the SNES. [55] [56] [57]	Rare	Nintendo
Dragon Sword	Announced in 1997 as a The Legend of Zelda inspired game coming to the Nintendo 64 first, and PC platforms and the PlayStation sometime after, the game went through many changes over its multiple years of development, including a transition more into a simpler, Golden Axe styled action game. The game was cancelled in 2000 due to its publisher pulling out, citing fears regarding its profitability. An early beta version leaked onto the internet in 2010. In 2019, Piko Interactive bought the rights to the game in hopes of selling an aftermarket unofficial version in the future, though this release has not materialized to-date. [58] [59] [60]	Interactive Studios	MGM Interactive

DT Bloodmasters	A game announced in relation to the formation of Marigul Management, a company co-founded by Nintendo to create more games for the Nintendo 64. It was a digital trading card game for the 64DD that would have allowed for the transfer of cards to and from a Game Boy using Marigul's unreleased 64 GB Cable accessory. It would have allowed for players to play the game on a television but hold their cards privately on their Game Boy screen. The game was cancelled due to the commercial failure of the 64DD, though its GBC counterpart, DT: Lords of Genomes, was released in 2001. [62] [63] [64]	Marigul Management, Game Studios	Media Factory
Earthbound 64 / Mother 3	The third entry in the Mother video game series had an extensive 12 year development history plagued by platform changes. Originally conceived for the SNES, development was moved to the Nintendo 64 after being inspired by the 3D graphics and movement of Super Mario 64 (1996), where it went by the name Earthbound 64. However, the game's large scope, and the development transition to and from the 64DD, caused slow progress with the game, and it was eventually cancelled in favor of moving Nintendo's software teams to working on the GameCube in late 2000. Development was later restarted on Game Boy Advance, where it was reworked for its hardware and finally released, exclusively in Japan, in 2006. [65]	HAL Laboratory	Nintendo
Echo Delta	Debuted and playable at Nintendo Space World 2000, the game was a real time strategy game with the premise centered around controlling a submarine to resurface sunken ships within a time limit. The game was reportedly 90% complete at the time, but was cancelled and never officially released. In 2006, a prototype reportedly leaked and was being sold on eBay. [66] [67]	Marigul Management, Clever Trick	Nintendo
Emperor of the Jungle	At the Shoshinkai 1996 trade show, Nintendo announced they were developing a video game adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's Jungle Emperor manga, scheduled for release in 1998. Shigeru Miyamoto was said to be heading the project in collaboration with Tezuka's son, Makoto Tezuka. However, the game experienced development difficulties, partly due to Tezuka's busy schedule and unfamiliarity with producing video games, and was ultimately never released. [68] [69]	Nintendo	Nintendo
Eternal Darkness	Originally starting development in the mid/late 1990s for the Nintendo 64, the game was almost complete, and playable at tradeshows, in 2000. A few months away from completion, Nintendo asked if developers Silicon Knights would move the project to the GameCube. Due to the request, the Nintendo 64 market starting to slow down by 2000, and the high cost of manufacturing cartridges, Silicon Knights agreed to cancel the N64 version in favor of releasing it on the GameCube in 2002. The developers described the N64 as more of a "rough draft" of the final version; the GameCube version required significant reworking, and in that process, aspects like graphics and mechanics were refined and improved. [70] [71] [72]	Silicon Knights	Nintendo
F/A-18E Super Hornet	A combat flight simulation game originally announced for the Nintendo 64 in 1998 as Super Hornet F-18, the game only ended up releasing on PC platforms as F/A-18E Super Hornet in 2000. [73] [74] [75]	Titus Interactive	Titus Interactive
Final Fantasy VII	The earliest work on the game began on the SNES in 1994; a few months of pre-production and planning work was done, but was then dropped when much of the development staff was pulled away to finish Chrono Trigger (1995). When they returned to the project, they put together early plans on what the game could look like on the Nintendo 64 and its 64DD add-on, and did various technical tests with the N64 hardware, though no substantial work on it was finished, and the work was scrapped as they moved on to developing for the PlayStation again, where the game released in 1997. [76]	Squaresoft	Squaresoft
Fire Emblem 64 / Fire Emblem: Maiden of Darkness	An entry in the Fire Emblem series was reported to be in development for the Nintendo 64 and the 64DD as early as in 1997. The game was in development for years, but was cancelled as a result of the commercial failure of the 64DD. Most of the game was scrapped, but a few elements were worked into the Japan-only release of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (2002) on the Game Boy Advance. [77] [78] [79]	Intelligent Systems	Nintendo
First Samurai 64	Announced in 1998 as a revival of the original First Samurai game, it entered the planning stages of development, but was cancelled shortly after, and never released in any capacity. [80]	Vivid Image	Vivid Image
Freak Boy	Originally announced at E3 1996 under the name "Stacker", Freak Boy was forced to undergo revisions and restart development multiple times due to management at Virgin Interactive believing the game would not appeal to the Nintendo 64 audience. The constant changes created development issues and left the game in an unstable state, forcing the project to be placed on "indefinite hold". [81] [82]	Zono	Virgin Interactive
Frogger	IGN reported in 1997 that a port of Frogger was being considered by Hasbro Interactive, though this never came to pass. [83]	SCE Studio Cambridge	Hasbro Interactive
Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge	The game initially began development for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, and underwent a lengthy development period. By the time the game released in 2000, the N64 version had been cancelled due to the cost of manufacturing N64's game cartridges, and instead released on CD-ROM based platforms including the PlayStation, Dreamcast, and Windows. [84] [85] [86]	Interactive Studios	Hasbro Interactive
Ghouls 'n' Ghosts 64	In late 1996, a journalist at Edge was privately allowed by Capcom to play some of their games scheduled for 1997, one of which was a 3D entry in the Ghosts 'n Goblins that played similarly to Super Mario 64 . Despite an early playable build being present, the game was cancelled without any gameplay ever being released publicly. IGN speculated that Capcom scrapped it in favor of developing other titles for the PlayStation, which was Capcom's preferred platform through the late 1990s. While Capcom did return to the Nintendo 64 late in its lifespan for some PS1 ports like Mega Man 64 and Resident Evil 2 , rather than revisiting the initial idea, a new idea Ghosts 'n Goblins spinoff, Maximo was started, but was cancelled as well, in favor of a PlayStation 2 release. [87] [88] [89]	Capcom	Capcom
Glover 2	A sequel to the original Glover was announced in 1999 for a release within the following year for the Nintendo 64. The game was roughly 85% complete, but was cancelled after publisher Hasbro Interactive erroneously ordered far too many cartridges for the production of the original title, which almost bankrupted the company. A playable version of the game leaked onto the internet in 2011, and Piko Interactive, who acquired the Glover IP in 2018, have expressed interest in finishing and releasing the game. [90] [5] [91]	Interactive Studios	Hasbro Interactive
Golden Sun 64	Shortly after the completion of Shining Force 3 (1998), Camelot Software Planning was recruited by Nintendo to develop games on the Nintendo 64. While the original request was to make another JRPG, Camelot wanted to create a simpler game while they learned how to develop for the N64's hardware, which led to the release of Mario Golf (1999). After its completion, the team returned to create a game design document for a new RPG for the N64. However, by then, they had heard about Nintendo's plan to succeed the N64 with what would be the GameCube in 2001, and knowing RPG's often have lengthy development periods, the company cancelled their plans to develop the game for N64. Instead, they developed another smaller project for the N64 with Mario Tennis (2000), and restarted their work on an RPG in what would become Golden Sun (2001) on the newly released Game Boy Advance. [92] [93]	Camelot Software Planning	Nintendo
Golgo 13	A video game adaption of the Golgo 13 manga series was announced in 1997, and scheduled for release in 1998, but was cancelled prior to release and never materialized in any capacity. [94] [95]	Vic Tokai	Vic Tokai
Gradius 64 / Gradius IV	A Nintendo 64 port of Gradius IV (1999) was planned for release in late 1999, but was cancelled due to the console's waning popularity; the game would receive a home port the following year as part of the Gradius III and IV compilation for PlayStation 2. [5]	Konami	Konami

However, the game was cancelled before any content was shown for the game, and it never released in any capacity. [99] [100] [101]	Player 1	Midway Games
Kameo: Elements of Power	Shortly after completion of Donkey Kong 64 , Rare started early work on Kameo for the Nintendo 64. [102] By the time it was publicly announced at E3 2001, development had already shifted to the GameCube. [103] In 2002, when Microsoft bought Rare, the GameCube version was cancelled and development was shifted to the original Xbox. [104] The game experienced a lengthy four year development period from there, leading to it being cancelled on Xbox in favor of releasing as a launch title for the Xbox 360 in 2005. [105]	Rare	Nintendo
Killer Instinct	Killer Instinct was initially planned as a launch title for the Nintendo 64 in 1995, with its arcade release advertising the "Nintendo Ultra 64" home port in its attract mode. However, due to the delay of the console's launch, the game was instead ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. A port of Killer Instinct 2 , titled Killer Instinct Gold , was ultimately released shortly after the system's launch in western territories. [106]	Rare	Nintendo
Killer Instinct 3	Developer Rare did early preliminary work on a third entry of their Killer Instinct series of fighting games for the Nintendo 64. Unlike prior entries, the game would have had fully 3D graphics, and would have been a prequel that focused on characters as children, similar to Virtua Fighter Kids . However, the game was cancelled due to their belief that the 1990s popularity of fighting games was declining, and Rare instead focused on developing Diddy Kong Racing (1997). A third Killer Instinct game would not see release until 2013 as a launch title for Xbox One. [107]	Rare	Nintendo
Kirby Ball 64 / Kirby Bowl 64 / Kirby's Air Ride	Work on a sequel to Kirby's Dream Course (1994) began on the Nintendo 64 directly after the original title's release, and was initially reported to be a launch title for the system. Early iterations of the game included controlling Kirby characters in snowboarding races and a battle mode to physically bump other player out of designated gameplay areas. Gameplay was shown at events like Nintendo Space World 1995 and E3 1996. By 1998, it was reported that the game was put on-hold while Nintendo concentrated on finishing up 1080° Snowboarding (1998). The concept was eventually reworked and released for the N64's successor, the GameCube, as Kirby Air Ride (2003). [108] [109] [110] [111]	HAL Laboratory	Nintendo
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time DD / Zelda 64 / Ura Zelda	Ocarina of Time was originally planned for release for the 64DD before moving development to the standard Nintendo 64 platform, where it released in 1998. After the move, Nintendo began work on an alternate, remixed version of Ocarina of Time for the 64DD called Ura Zelda . This version was later cancelled as well, but later released on the GameCube in 2003 under the name The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest . [112] [113]	Nintendo	Nintendo
Looney Tunes: Space Race	Originally announced in 1998 as Looney Tunes Racing for the Nintendo 64 shortly after Infogrames obtained the Looney Tunes license for video game development, the game only ended up releasing for the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 across 2000 and 2001. [114]	Infogrames Melbourne House	Infogrames

Magic Flute	A game announced for the Nintendo 64 by Sunsoft. Little is known beyond the fact that it was an action game and that it was never released in any capacity. [116] [117]	Sunsoft	Sunsoft
Mario Artist	Mario Artist was a suite of creative tools for the 64DD, which could be used in conjunction with one another to create and share art, animations, and 3D models. Four entries in the series were released between 1999 and 2000: Paint Studio, Talent Studio, Polygon Studio, and Communication Kit. However, four additional entries were planned but cancelled due to the 64DD's failure: Game Maker, Graphical Message Maker, Sound Maker, and Video Jockey Maker. [118]	Nintendo	Nintendo
Marionette	While never officially announced, Marionette was accidently published on a list of titles in development by Nintendo at E3 2001; the developers would later give a few details on the project years later. The game was designed to utilize the Nintendo 64 controller in unconventional ways to control an in-game marionette puppet. Many gameplay tests were created, but it hit roadblocks in making it into a full-fledged game. With it being tied to the N64 controller, the game was cancelled in the company's transition to GameCube development later in the year. [119] [120] [121]	Nintendo	Nintendo
Maximo: Ghosts to Glory	Development for the game, a sub-series of the Ghosts 'n Goblins series, originally began for the Nintendo 64, but development spanned beyond its lifespan, and Capcom made the decision to move it to the PlayStation 2 instead, where it released exclusively in 2002. [89]	Capcom	Capcom
Mega Man 64 2 / Mega Man Legends 2	After Capcom released Mega Man Legends (1998) on the Nintendo 64 as Mega Man 64 (2000), Capcom announced they would be doing the same with Mega Man Legends 2 (2000). However, the poor sales of Mega Man 64, coupled with the Nintendo 64 approaching the end of its lifespan by the time they would have even begun porting the game to the Nintendo 64 in late 2000, led to its cancellation. [5]	Capcom	Capcom
Metal Gear Solid	A version of the 1998 PlayStation release was reported to be in development for the Nintendo 64 in 2000, towards the end of its lifespan, by GameSpot. However, the poor hardware sales of the N64, coupled with the limited storage space of the N64 cartridges, led Konami to reconsider the plans, and nothing further on the N64 ever materialized, though a remake, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was released on the N64's successor, the GameCube, in 2004. [122] [37]	Konami	Konami
Metroid 64	Publications reported that a Metroid series game was in development for the Nintendo 64, but creator Yoshio Sakamoto's development tests for an entry in 3D were all deemed unsatisfactory, and a 3D entry would not come until much later on the GameCube with the Retro Studios developed Metroid Prime (2002). [5] [123]	Nintendo	Nintendo
Michelin Rally Masters: Race of Champions / Test Drive Rally / Rally Masters	Originally announced as Rally Masters in 1999, the game saw a name change when original publisher Gremlin Interactive was bought out by Infogrames, to Test Drive Rally , and then again to its final name. Originally scheduled to release on Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, the PlayStation, and PC platforms, both the Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast version were cancelled prior to the other versions release, with Infogrames stating that those version were not meeting their internal standards, despite IGN previously previewing a playable build of the game and giving generally postitive remarks.

Need for Speed 64	Developer Electronic Arts was planning on bringing an entry in its Need for Speed series to the Nintendo 64 in 1997, but wished to develop a different sort of entry that would help it stand out from the already crowded market for racing games on the platform. Their efforts to make something different, coupled with their recent partnership with Volkswagen to make a game featuring their Volkswagen New Beetle vehicle, led to scrapping the Need for Speed title in favor of creating Beetle Adventure Racing (1999).
