Attribution
Some entries that mention being cancelled on another platform may have originated from that platform's respective cancelled video games entry, and copied there. Probably not an attribution issue because I probably wrote the entirety of the entry there too, but just for completeness sake. Sergecross73 msg me 18:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Categorized but not listed.
This is a list of remaining games listed in the Cancelled N64/64DD Games categories but not on this page; each of these will need to be checked to confirm their accuracy or find sources to verify them, at which point they should be added to the list; if no source can be found, they should be removed from the category That part's done. I've also included a few edge cases that aren't clear in whether they should be included or not.
- Sources found
- Fin Fin on Teo the Magic Planet (64DD)
- I believe this was listed under the IGN databases as "Teo" or "Teo 64" or something. Sergecross73 msg me 19:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos
- Only source I could find was TheGamer. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Looney Tunes: Space Race
- Sourced in article [1] -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Montezuma's Return!
- Sourced in article [2] -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Mortal Kombat: Special Forces
- Sourced in article [3][4] -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Pikmin (video game)
- Found a source [5] -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- POD (video game)
- Sourced in article [6] -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Rampage Through Time
- One of those Gamerant/TheGamer websites I found covered this, I think. I try to get better websites when I can, but I sometimes settle for them when I have to, it's not contentious, and they give enough info to write an entry. Sergecross73 msg me 19:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Red Baron (1990 video game)
- Sourced in article [7][8][9] -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Snatcher (video game) (64DD)
- Sourced on 64DD article [10] -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:00, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Tenchu: Stealth Assassins
- Cited at the top. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Tomb Raider (1996 video game)
- Editor KGRAMR provided a couple sources at the very top of the talk page. Didn't have the chance to use them yet, but they do confirm abandoned plans for an N64 version. Sergecross73 msg me 19:15, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Fin Fin on Teo the Magic Planet (64DD)
- Edge cases:
- Darkstalkers 3
- Rumored, but never announced -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Dragon Quest VII (64DD)
- I previously removed this and tweaked its own wording in its article because I couldn't find any sources to confirm it was actually ever proposed/considered/cancelled. The only sources present were ones saying that it was expected to be on 64dd by magazines and websites, not that it necessarily ever actually was by Enix. Sergecross73 msg me 19:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Dead or Alive (video game)
- Rumored, but never announced -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001 video game)
- Pitched by Nintendo, but rejected and never entered production -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Jeff Gordon XS Racing
- Only coverage that could be found is a preview from X64 magazine, the French counterpart of N64 Magazine. Need to check it against a translator. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:58, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- V-Rally 2
- Seen in Infogrames promotional footage, but no reliable coverage). -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- X'Treme Roller
- Confirmed to exist via a released prototype, but no reliable coverage) -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Darkstalkers 3
Any assistance verifying the games listed above would be much appreciated. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Tracked down a source confirming ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth was considered for N64. The "25 games" article from TheGamer also claims Gradius IV was planned at one point, but I haven't found any others. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Organized the list based on progress made. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Wow, we actually made a lot of progress pretty quickly here. Makes writing the entries easier when you've already got this stuff lined up. I probably won't have any more time today, but I'll try to start writing up some entries tomorrow. Sergecross73 msg me 20:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Happy to have helped. I couldn't find any sources for those last handful of games, so I took them off the list and removed them from the categories; they should be in sync with the article now. I'll let you make the final call on whether the edge cases above qualify. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Found a few more games by checking Nintendo64Ever, which is itself an unreliable source, but does feature several scans of contemporary magazines that were doing previews at the time and would count. An issue of Next Generation also features several previews for upcoming games, including some of the ones below.
