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 multiple games for the system, with commonly-cited reasons including its lower sales numbers compared to the PlayStation, its unconventional controller, and Nintendo's decision to stick with the game cartridge format, which was more costly to produce and 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 many of its games being cancelled or reworked for release on the standard Nintendo 64. This list documents all known games that were announced 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, as well as unreleased 64DD-specific versions of other Nintendo 64 games.[1][2][3][4][5]
List of cancelled Nintendo 64 games
There are currently 180 games on this list.[a]
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.[5][6] | Left Field Productions | Nintendo |
360: Three Sixty | In 1999, it was reported that the Windows release would be ported to the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation, though only the latter ever materialized.[7] | 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.[8][9][10][11] | Eurocom | GT Interactive |
64 Wars | An entry of Nintendo's Wars series announced for the Nintendo 64. Some game footage was briefly demonstrated at Nintendo Space World 1999, where it was shown to be developed by Hudson Soft instead of its usual developer Intelligent Systems, but little else was announced, and the game never materialized in any capacity.[12][13] | Hudson Soft | Hudson Soft |
7th Legion | A real-time strategy game released for Windows in 1997, it was reported that Nintendo was to work with the game's developers to create a Nintendo 64 version of the game, but this version never materialized.[14] | Epic MegaGames | MicroProse |
Acclaim Sports Soccer | A European-exclusive soccer game from Acclaim was announced early in the Nintendo 64's lifecycle, but was cancelled in 1999 after several delays, allegedly due to Acclaim's fears of strong competition from other soccer games on the system.[15][16] | Probe Software | Acclaim Entertainment |
Actua Golf series entry / Actua Golf 4 | IGN reported that multiple entries in the multiplatform Actua Golf series were scheduled to come to the Nintendo 64. Specifically, in 1999, they reported than an Actua Golf 4 was announced and in development for the N64. The title was planned on being the first to utilize the PGA European Tour license. However, later in the year, Gremlin Interactive was bought out by Infogrames and renamed to Infogrames Sheffield House, and no further Actua sports titles were released for any platforms. Infogrames Sheffield House would subsequently repurpose their work on Actua Golf 4 for use in PGA European Tour Golf (1999) on PlayStation and N64.[17][18][19] | Gremlin Interactive | Gremlin Interactive |
Addams Family Pinball | A video game adaption of the Addams Family pinball machine was announced to be in development for the Nintendo 64, but was cancelled and never released in any capacity.[20] | Digital Eclipse | GT Interactive |
Airport Inc. | IGN reported that a Nintendo 64 port of the game was scheduled to begin production after the Windows version was finished, but this never materialized.[21] | Krisalis Software | Telstar Electronic Studios |
Animal Leader | Originally planned for the Nintendo 64DD, the peripheral's failure led Animal Leader to shift its development to the Nintendo 64, for which it was presented at the Nintendo Space World 2000 trade show. The game eventually shifted development again to the GameCube, and was released in 2002. However, Nintendo chose not to localize the game for the North American market, with Atlus USA instead publishing it under the name Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest.[22][23][24] | Saru Brunei, Intelligent Systems | Nintendo |
Animaniacs: Ten Pin Alley | Released for the PlayStation in December 1998, ASC Games announced shortly thereafter that a port of the game would be coming to Nintendo 64. However, this version was never released.[25] | Saffire | ASC Games |
Assault: Retribution | A port of Assault: Retribution (1998) was planned for release on Nintendo 64, but was never released.[26] | Candle Light Studios | Midway Games |
Attack! | The caveman-based action game Attack! was announced for Nintendo 64, PlayStation, and Windows in 1999, but was never released on any platform.[27] | DMA Design | |
Automobili Lamborghini Add-On | IGN reported it as one of multiple Titus Interactive games to receive a separate 64DD release with additional content added from its standard Nintendo 64 release, though the 64DD version never released. While no reason was given, the standard version only released in the West, while the 64DD never released out of Japan.[28] | Titus Interactive | Titus Interactive |
BattleSport 2 / BioSwarm | A sequel to BattleSport (1997) was planned for the Nintendo 64, Panasonic M2 and PlayStation, but never released for any system.[29][30] | Cyclone Studios | 3DO |
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.[31] | Paradigm Entertainment | Electronic Arts |
Blade & Barrel / Ultra Combat 64 | The multiplayer helicopter combat game Blade & Barrel, to be released as Ultra Combat 64 in the United States, was announced in 1996. The game never released, though some members of the press speculated that elements of the game were carried over into Kemco's later aerial combat game Knife Edge: Nose Gunner (1998).[32][33] | Software Creations | Kemco |
Buggie Boogie | As a result of a strong partnership with Nintendo early in the Nintendo 64's development, Angel Studios began collaborating with designer Shigeru Miyamoto on the vehicular combat game Buggie Boogie. Miyamoto issued three-month contracts to the company, not retaining any documents and returning every three months to check on the game's progress. Angel Studios spent 45 days creating a "design bible" for its first meeting with Miyamoto, who rejected it and asked the studio to "find the fun" over the next three months. The game would have seen vehicles consume each other, absorbing their DNA to obtain their powers. After six to nine months, the title was canceled as Nintendo prioritized a prototype of Diddy Kong Racing.[34][35][36][37] | Angel Studios | Nintendo |
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. The game was eventually cancelled without any footage ever being shown, but it was reported to have influenced the development and gameplay of future game series Animal Crossing and Nintendogs.[2][38] | Nintendo | Nintendo |
Caesars Palace 64 | Following their acquisition by Crave Entertainment in 1998, Lobotomy Software began work on a gambling adventure game set in the Caesars Palace casino. In 1999, internal restructuring at Crave resulted in the shutdown of Lobotomy Software, and the game's release was indefinitely postponed. While it was initially reported that the game would be finished by Crave's internal development, Caesars Palace 64 ultimately never released.[39][40][41] | Lobotomy Software | Crave Entertainment |
Carnivàle: Cenzo's Adventure | A video game adaption of the Carnivale film in development for the Nintendo 64, the game was cancelled at about 50-60% complete after its developers suffered financial problems and layoffs that led them to be unable to complete the game. The game was demonstrated briefly at E3 1999, and in 2022, the E3 build leaked onto the internet.[42][43] | Terraglyph Interactive Studios | Vatical Entertainment |
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. Footage shown depicted a Tom and Jerry or Itchy and Scratchy dynamic between a cat and mouse character. The game was never mentioned again after the event, and was cancelled, not being released in any capacity.[44][45][46] | Marigul Management | Nintendo |
Cavalry Battle 3000 | A racing video game announced in the late 1990s for the Nintendo 64. Little else was revealed about the game, and it never materialized in any capacity.[47] | Japan System Supply | Japan System Supply |
Centipede X | A 3D reinvention of Centipede (1981) was announced alongside several other similar arcade revivals by Midway Games, but was never shown or released in any capacity.[48] | Midway Games | Midway Games |
Championship Motocross featuring Ricky Carmichael | A Nintendo 64 version of the 1999 PlayStation release was announced to be in development by Pacific Coast Power & Light, who was previous responsible for the PlayStation to N64 conversions of Nuclear Strike 64 and Road Rash 64, but the N64 release of Championship Motorcross never materialized.[49][50] | Pacific Coast Power & Light | THQ |

Shiren-jō!. However, this game was never fully revealed, and Fūrai no Shiren 2 was the company's only game released for the system.[62] | Chunsoft | Chunsoft |
Desert Island / No Man's Island / Super Real Island | Super Real Island was intended to be a hybrid RPG/simulation game for 64DD, with players cultivating an island to grow food and stay alive while contending with dangerous wildlife that emerge as a result.

However, this version never materialized, and only an unrelated port to the PlayStation by Electronic Arts resulted the following year.[67] | Blizzard Entertainment | Nintendo |
Die Hard 64 | A video game adaption of the Die Hard films was never officially announced, but was reported as being in development by multiple publications, including a 1999 incident where screenshots were leaked and published by magazines. 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, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, eventually releasing in 2002 as Die Hard: Vendetta.[68][69][70] | 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).[71] | Rare | Nintendo |
Doom Absolution | After Doom 64 was completed, the development team began working on a sequel based around two-player deathmatches. In July 1997, Midway Games confirmed the project had been cancelled.[72] | Midway Studios San Diego | Midway Games |
Dragon Sword | Announced in 1997 as a The Legend of Zelda inspired game coming to the Nintendo 64 first, and Windows and the PlayStation sometime after, the game went through many changes over its multiple years of development, including a transition 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.[73][74][75] | Interactive Studios | MGM Interactive |
Driver | According to Spanish video game magazine Magazine 64, GT Interactive was conducting development tests to see if they could get the PlayStation version of Driver (1999) on the Nintendo 64, though no such release ever materialized.[76] | Reflections Interactive | GT 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.[77][78][79] | 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.[80] | 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.[81][82] | 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.[83][84] | 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.[85][86][87] | 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 Windows as F/A-18E Super Hornet in 2000.[88][89][90] | 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.[91] | 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.[92][93][94] | Intelligent Systems | Nintendo |
First Samurai 64 | A revival of the original First Samurai game was announced in 1998. The game entered the planning stages of development, but was cancelled shortly after, and never released in any capacity.[95] | 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".[96][97] | Zono | Virgin Interactive |
Frogger | IGN reported that a port of Frogger (1997) was being considered by Hasbro Interactive, though this never came to pass.[98] | SCE Studio Cambridge | Hasbro Interactive |
Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge | The sequel to Frogger 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 game cartridges, and instead released on CD-ROM based platforms including the PlayStation, Dreamcast, and Windows.[99][100] | Interactive Studios | Hasbro Interactive |
Gendai Daisenryaku: Ultimate War | An entry in the Daisenryaku series of war simulation games was presented for the 64DD at Nintendo Space World 1999. Development switched to the standard Nintendo 64 platform the following year, and was again present at Nintendo Space World 2000, though the game was never finished and never released in any capacity.[101] | SETA Corporation | SETA Corporation |
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.[102][103] | Capcom | Capcom |
Glover 2 | A sequel to Glover (1998) 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.[5][104][105] | 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.[106][107] | 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.[108] | 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 |
Grand Theft Auto | After the PlayStation version of Grand Theft Auto was released, development began on a Nintendo 64 port, but it was cancelled during development.[109] | DMA Design | Rockstar Games |
Harrier 2001 | Originally announced as Flights of the U.N. at E3 1997, this flight combat game was delayed multiple times, changing its name twice to Harrier 2000 and Harrier 2001. Developer Paradigm Simulation placed the game on "indefinite hold" in November 1999, subsequently filing a lawsuit against publisher Video System alleging breach of contract in not providing sufficient support for the game's development.[110][111][112][113] | Paradigm Simulation | Video System |
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone | In 1999, Nintendo of America sought to obtain the exclusive rights to produce games based on the Harry Potter series. Two teams within Nintendo Software Technology began developing Nintendo 64 prototypes to pitch to the rights holders, with one prototype based on the main narrative of the books while the other was based around Quidditch. The pitch was unsuccessful, with Electronic Arts ultimately obtaining the license, and no Harry Potter games were released for the N64.[114] | Nintendo | Nintendo |
Hype: The Time Quest | Released on Windows in 1999, console versions were scheduled for release across 2000 and 2001 for Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and PlayStation 2, though only the PlayStation 2 port ever materialized.[115][116] | Ubi Soft | Ubi Soft |
Ikazuchi no Go | A Go game for Nintendo 64 was announced by SETA in 1997, but was cancelled during development.[117] | SETA Corporation | SETA Corporation |

However, the PlayStation and N64 versions were cancelled, with only the Windows and GBC versions releasing.[118] | Real Sports | ASC Games |
Jest | Jest was a 3D platformer starring a trainee jester named Jax in the bizarre world of Humorous. The game was announced in 1998 for release later that year, but was pushed to 1999 before being quietly cancelled.[119] | Curved Logic | Infogrames |
Joust 64 / Joust X / Joust 3D | A 3D reinvention of the original Joust (1982) was announced as one of a number of arcade game revivals planned by Midway Games. However, the game was cancelled before any content was shown for the game, and it never released in any capacity.[56][120][121] | Player 1 | Midway Games |
Jungle Bots | Details on Jungle Bots first emerged in March 1998, with the game described as a third person shooter set on a tropical island inhabited by mutated animal robots. In April 1999, it was announced that the game had been cancelled.[122][123] | Conceptual Realities | Titus Interactive |
Kameo: Elements of Power | Shortly after completion of Donkey Kong 64, Rare started early work on Kameo for the Nintendo 64. By the time it was publicly announced at E3 2001, development had already shifted to the GameCube. In 2002, when Microsoft bought Rare, the GameCube version was cancelled and development was shifted to the original Xbox. 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.[124][125][126][127] | 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 SNES. A port of Killer Instinct 2 (1996), titled Killer Instinct Gold, was ultimately released shortly after the system's launch in western territories.[128][129] | 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.[130] | 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 immediately 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 in which player characters physically bump each other 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).[131][132][133][134] | HAL Laboratory | Nintendo |
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time DD / Zelda 64 / Ura Zelda | The Legend of 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.[135][136] | Nintendo | Nintendo |
Lethal Encounter | Lethal Encounter was an arcade-style shooting game in which players controlled a tank battling alien invaders. While the game was demonstrated for journalists at Edge in 1998, it was ultimately never released.[137] | Digital Image Design | |
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.[138][139] | Infogrames Melbourne House | Infogrames |

Wet Corpse | Announced for the Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64 and present at E3 1996, very little was known about the title other than it was a survival horror game in the vein of Resident Evil. It was quietly cancelled in 1997 and never materialized in any capacity.[263][264][265] | Vic Tokai | Vic Tokai |
Wild Metal Country | The tank-based action game was originally announced for release on both Nintendo 64 and Windows, but only the latter version released in 1999, followed by a Dreamcast port in 2000.[266] | DMA Design | Rockstar Games |
Wild Water World Championships | The racing game Wild Water World Championships was first revealed for Nintendo 64 in 1999. Shortly thereafter, this version was cancelled, alongside a prospective Dreamcast port, with the game eventually releasing on PlayStation and Windows as Renegade Racers (1999).[267][268] | Promethean Designs | Interplay Entertainment |
WildWaters | WildWaters was a Kayak-based racing game first shown behind closed doors at E3 1999. Due to the closure of developer Looking Glass Studios in 2000, the game was never released.[269] | Looking Glass Studios | Ubi Soft |
X-Men: Mutant Academy | Following the release of X-Men: Mutant Academy (2000) on PlayStation, an expanded version was announced for the Nintendo 64, but was cancelled prior to release.[270][271] | Paradox Development | Activision |
Untitled X-Men game | In addition to X-Men: Mutant Academy, a second game related to the X-Men franchise was announced by publisher Activision for the Nintendo 64, though it never materialized in any capacity.[271] | Activision | |
Xena: Warrior Princess | An action-RPG based on the Xena: Warrior Princess TV series was scheduled to begin development following the completion of Xena: Warrior Princess: The Talisman of Fate (1999). However, the game failed to materialize.[272] | Titus Interactive | Titus Interactive |
Yoshi Racing | After the success of the original Star Fox (1993), developer Argonaut Software pitched bringing the Super Mario series into 3D gameplay, with a game that took the Yoshi character and combined the gameplay of Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart. However, Nintendo rejected the pitch, saying that they already had plans for the first 3D Super Mario. Argonaut instead stripped the Super Mario branding from the game and repurposed it into Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, which released on the competing Sega Saturn and the PlayStation instead in 1997.[273][274] | Argonaut Software | Nintendo |
Young Olympians / Saffire | A mission-based action game featuring characters from Greek mythology, it was later renamed Saffire and shifted to GameCube and PlayStation 2 once the N64 was nearing the end of its lifespan. The story was also set to be expanded through versions for Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance and a comic miniseries from Image Comics. While the comics were released in April 2000, the game was cancelled early in both systems' console cycles, though some of the game's elements were later used in 2002's Barbarian.[275][20][276][277][278] | Saffire | Saffire |
Zenith | Developed by DMA Design, Zenith was a competitive platformer featuring climbers racing to the top of a wall. However, due to the troubled production cycle of another DMA game, Body Harvest (1998), Zenith was cancelled and its team was moved to that project to assist in its completion.[279] | DMA Design |
