Sega Blackbelt or Kitana, I don't remember. (A system Sega of America was working on while Sega of Japan was working on what would eventually become the Dreamcast).

Ultra 64 became the N64 it was the same thing, but Ultra was the original name for it.
As far as software goes I'd say FF6 for Ultra 64 and Kurby's Air Ride for N64. For PSX Bio Hazard 1.5 ( Capcom scrapped the project near complettion).

It was FF7 for Ultra...FF6 models were used in the tests while Square was still considering whether or not to stick with Nin

Yes they are. As an analogy it doesn't matter if you swap out a geforce card with a radeon card...it's still a PC.

If you are going to count "revisions of hardware" as vaporware then every system has prototype versions that exist that never were intended for public release.

Shenmue 2 ain't vaporware, it came out in JPN and Europe, vaporware means NEVER released period.

Something I wanted to know about the M2:

I recall seeing all sorts of screenshots and demo movies of what is "could possibly" do and what a game using the hardware "may look like." Then it disappeared off the proverbial map.

Were actual games ever in development for it? Did it even get that far? Anyone have screenshots? Design notes? Game press kits? Anything?
