There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of games that have been canceled over the years. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to get to experience these unreleased games years later through ROMs leaked on the internet or even in an official capacity, like what happened with Nintendo’s Star Fox 2 on the SNES Mini.

Konami, IP owner of the NEC TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine, has announced three new upcoming mini consoles, the TurboGrafx-16, PC Engine, and Core Grafx Minis. Each includes a controller and their own lineup of games. While I am normally dismissive of the plastic monstrosities that are mini consoles, if this is done well, it would […]
st1ka has released the final part to his documentary about the now infamously unreleased game Paprium. It’s an interesting look at an extremely odd situation that left many people without their money. Or game. Or custom controller. Here’s all three parts, posted in chronological order:
