List of cancelled Game Boy Advance games

Last updated

This is a list of cancelled Game Boy Advance video games. The Game Boy Advance is a handheld video game console released by Nintendo in 2001. While seen as a success, the platform featured a shorter lifespan than its predecessor Game Boy systems, partially due to the early release and runaway success of the Nintendo DS. Originally promoted as a separate product, the DS, released in 2004, replaced the GBA as Nintendo and other software developers focused on its stronger hardware as it competed with Sony's PlayStation Portable. Its shorter lifespan, along with publishers dropping multiplatform games due to lack of interest in its weaker hardware, would lead to game cancellations. This list documents all known games that were confirmed to be announced or in development for the Game Boy Advance at some point, but did not end up being released for it in any capacity.

Title(s)Notes/ReasonsDeveloperPublisher
100 Bullets A video game adaption of the 100 Bullets comic book series was announced by Acclaim Entertainment for release on the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox. This version of the game was cancelled amid Acclaim's financial troubles in the mid-2000s. D3 Publisher obtained the rights to the franchise shortly after, and announced plans to release an unrelated game in the franchise for a variety of platforms, Game Boy Advance included, though none of those versions ever materialized either.

Aero the Acro-Bat 2 Following the release of the original Aero the Acro-Bat on Game Boy Advance in 2002, a press release indicated that its Sega Genesis and SNES follow ups Aero the Acro-Bat 2 and Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel would also be released on the GBA, though neither of those releases ever materialized. [6] [7] Atomic Planet Entertainment Metro3D
Aliens versus Predator French developer Ubisoft announced that they had obtained the rights to release an entry in the Aliens versus Predator series of video games for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Little was announced other than it would loosely follow the premise of prior entries, which entailed a 3 way battle between a Xenomorph ( Alien ), Predator, and a human. Despite the announcement, no such release ever materialized. [8] Ubisoft Ubisoft
Barbarian A scaled-down version of the 2002 console game was announced for the Game Boy Advance as well, but never materialized. The game was announced to have the same gameplay of the console games - similar to Power Stone - and feature 4 player multiplayer through the use of the GBA Link Cable. [9] Titus Interactive Titus Interactive
Battletoads GameSetWatch reported that in 2011, an early prototype for an unannounced entry in the Battletoads series that was briefly in development for the Game Boy Advance had leaked onto the internet. The game was to be made less difficult than its earlier counterparts, and had characters modernized with a more cyberpunk/skateboarder aesthetic. The game was cancelled early in development, with the prototype being very unfinished. [10] Rare Rare
Bejeweled A version of the PC and mobile puzzle game was announced for a 2004 on the Game Boy Advance as well, though this version never materialized. [11] [12] PopCap Games Majesco Entertainment
Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled Development initially began late in the Game Boy Advance's lifespan, and went well beyond it, eventually moving its successor, the Nintendo DS, where it released in 2009. [13] Studio ArchcraftGraffiti Entertainment
A Boy and His Blob: Jelly's Cosmic Adventure A sequel to A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia (1989) was announced for the Game Boy Advance at E3 2001.

Charlie's Angels A video game adaption of the year 2000 film was announced for PlayStation 2, GameCube, the original Xbox, PC platforms, and Game Boy Advance, though only the PS2 and GameCube versions ever released years later in 2003. [18] [19] Ubisoft Ubisoft
The Chaos Engine One of three older Bitmap Brothers games announced in 2002 for an updated release for the Game Boy Advance through a partnership with Crawfish Entertainment that never materialized in any capacity. [20] [21] Bitmap Brothers Crawfish Entertainment
Chronos Twins Originally announced for the Game Boy Advance in 2004, development moved to its successor, the Nintendo DS, in 2006, and released there exclusively the following year. [22] [23] EnjoyUp Oxygen Games
Contact Development for the game began on the Game Boy Advance, but transitioned to its successor, the Nintendo DS, where it released exclusively in 2006. The GBA version had the same basic premise, but would have required switching between different viewpoints rather than showing both concurrently as was done on the DS's dual screen setup. [24] Grasshopper Manufacture Marvelous Entertainment
Demon HunterAnnounced in 2002 as an action RPG similar to Diablo with large, randomly generated levels that could be played indefinitely even after being the main campaign. The developers were aiming for an early 2003 release despite not procuring a publisher yet, though the game was cancelled before any announcement on a publisher, and never materialized in any capacity. [25] [26] Independent Arts Software
Diddy Kong Pilot Originally announced in 2001 as a sequel to Diddy Kong Racing (1997), the game went through a difficult 5 year development period that was further complicated by developer Rare's purchase by Microsoft mid-way through development. The purchase lead to Nintendo revoking their access to their IP such as Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The game was repurposed and reworked into Banjo Pilot , which released on the GBA in 2005. Multiple in-process prototypes of the original Diddy Kong Pilot versions leaked onto the internet in the 2010s. [27] [28] Rare Nintendo
Diner Dash After finding success on PC and mobile platforms in 2005, versions for handheld consoles, including the PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, and Game Boy Advance were announced the following year. By the time their 2007 release date arose, the GBA version was dropped in favor of the PSP and DS releases, which were more prominent handhelds by that point in time. [29] Gamelab Eidos Interactive
Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers Initially announced in 2001 as a puzzle game utilizing Donkey Kong Country characters, similar to Diddy Kong Pilot , the game had to be reworked and rebranded after developer Rare was bought by Microsoft and as a result lost the rights to use Nintendo IP like Donkey Kong. The game was reworked to use Rare's own "Mr. Pants" mascot and releases as It's Mr. Pants in 2004. [30] [31] Rare Nintendo

Development was almost complete in 2022, but was cancelled just prior to release due to its publisher's financial issues. In the years following, a playable build of the game leaked onto the internet. [32] Soft Brigade Cryo Interactive
Game Boy Music The music game Daigasso! Band Brothers went through a difficult, five year development cycle that started under the name Game Boy Music on the Game Boy Color, transitioned to the Game Boy Advance, and then moved a second time to the Nintendo DS, where it finally released in 2004. The Game Boy iterations were cancelled due to their hardware limitations; the developers felt the Game Boy sound systems could not create a high enough quality of sound, and lacked enough buttons for gameplay input. The DS hardware and touch screen helped them finally solve these issues. [33] Nintendo Nintendo
GB Rally AdvanceAfter cancelling a similar rally racing game for the Game Boy Color, the development team moved on to creating a 3D version of the concept for the Game Boy Advance. The game was to feature 42 difference races courses, and the ability for 4 player multiplayer through the GBA Link Cable. However, much like the GBC iteration, the developers did not have a publisher for the game, and it too never materialized. [34] Raylight Studios
Grand Theft Auto III At E3 2001, Rockstar Games announced that they were partnering with Destination Software to adapt some of their biggest PlayStation 2 games into alternate versions that could be played on a Game Boy Advance. Three were announced - Smuggler's Run , Midnight Club and Grand Theft Auto III . While the first 2 released, the Grand Theft Auto attempt was cancelled in favor of the unrelated Grand Theft Auto Advance (2004). [35] [36] [37] Crawfish Interactive Destination Software

The Haunted Mansion A video game adaption of the Disney ride of the same name, rather than the 2003 film of the same name, was announced for PlayStation 2, GameCube, the original Xbox, and Game Boy Advance. The GBA version was to be simplified, but still maintain 3D movement and gameplay, a relative rarity for the platform. Screenshots for the GBA version game were released during development, but it was the only iteration of the game to never release. [38] Pocket Studios Ingram Entertainment
Haven: Call of the King During a preview playtest of the PlayStation 2, GameCube and original Xbox versions of the game, a Game Boy Advance version was also mentioned by GameSpot].

MythriThe role playing game Mythri began development for Game Boy Color at the independent studio Team XKalibur, who sought to create a game inspired by classic Japanese RPGs such as Final Fantasy . After years of development, progress stalled due to being unable to find a publisher to fund development. In 2003, the game was picked up by publisher Variant Entertainment, with plans to move development to Game Boy Advance. However, Variant never ended up providing the necessary funding, forcing the team to cancel the game and split up to work at other studios. Tomm Hulett, one of the game's designers, later released the game's prototype onto the internet in 2016. [47] [48] Team XKaliburVariant Interactive

Quake Randy Linden, the programmer responsible for completing the thought-to-be-impossible port of Doom (1993) to the SNES in 1995, created a playable prototype of Quake for the Game Boy Advance. His initial intent was to pitch the game to id Software for official release, but the dwindling popularity of the GBA lead him instead chose to repurpose his work into the release of his own original IP, Cyboid , instead, something he was able to do because he did not use any of Quake's original assets in its creation. A playable version of the game leaked onto the internet in 2022. [51] [52] Randy Linden id Software
Rick Dangerous A version of the 1989 PC platformer was announced to be in development for the Game Boy Advance by developers Spoutnick Team, though the following year they announced that the copyright holders of the game were now refusing to sell them the rights to release the game due to "internal reasons", leading to its cancellation. The team noted that they hoped that "internal reasons" meant that a different development team was working on a game in the series, though no further games have been release to date. [53] [54] Spoutnick Team
Rolling The roller skating game in the vein of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games was originally announced in 2002 and in development for the PlayStation 2, original Xbox, GameCube, and the Game Boy Advance. However, during development, developer Rage Software suffered financial issues that eventually lead to its closure in 2003. The game was almost cancelled outright, until new publisher, SCi Games came in to salvage their work and release the game later that year. However, SCi only chose to release the PS2 and Xbox version; the GameCube and GBA versions went unreleased. [55] [56] [57] Rage Software Majesco Entertainment
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution Shortly before the release of Shantae (2002), WayForward began work on a sequel for Game Boy Advance. However, the company struggled to find a publisher due to the weak sales of the first game, leading them to shelve the project in 2004. The work done on Shantae Advance would go on to influence several later titles in the series, most significantly Shantae: Risky's Revenge (2010). In 2023, WayForward announced that development had resumed on Shantae Advance, and the game would receive an aftermarket physical release on Game Boy Advance through Limited Run Games in 2024, along with emulated releases on newer platforms.

[61] [62] [63] [64] Treyarch Activision
Sonic Riders While never publicly announced at the time, Sega commissioned Backbone Entertainment for an adaptation of the original Sonic Riders (2006) game for the weaker Game Boy Advance hardware. A prototype was produced and sent to Sega of Japan, who approved of the work, but requested more 3D elements be added to the game. Unable to make the changes with the limited hardware and time left until its intended release date, the GBA version was cancelled. Years later, developers from Backbone would talk publicly about the game, and note that, while the game was cancelled, Sega was impressed by the effort, and it lead to further collaborations throughout the 2000s, including the Sonic Rivals games.
