The Last Guardian-PS3
The Last Story (english)-Wii
Pandora's Tower (english)-Wii
A fixed and properly working FF XIV-PS3

Those are the only ones I want that I can think of that are in existence/in production that aren't available yet.

Didn't those come out in the UK? So there is an English version. But if you mean a NA release, then that indeed is vaporware, 'cause it probably won't happen. (Fuck you, Nintendo.)

It's not delayed really, it's cancelled, but I REALLY wanted Project HAMMER to become a real game. It looked like an interesting concept and would have been something very different from Nintendo, but it was dropped.

Shenmue 3 *snip*

obviously was cancelled, but I always wanted Star Fox 2. The rom is essentially the finished game (its crash happy though) so I dont get not releasing it.

The Last Story (english)-Wii

Agreed on all of these; nothing I can think of except Thrill Kill (Was that the name?)

it WAS thrill kill. It was also released as a toned down-reskinned game called: wu-tang: shaolin style. Basically Wu-Tang Clan members killing each other less violently.

It sucks that Mother 1 (Earthbound 0) was finished and never got released. There's a guy on Youtube called Ruu that owns one of the four prototype carts. He said the whole game is complete and is pretty much finished and translated. They also left in a run button that the Japanese version didn't have. It sucks they can't work out the rights for anything regarding the Mother series. I got Earthbound (Mother 2) on the SNES when GameStop was phasing out SNES and Genesis carts for 25 bucks and loved every minute of it. If they made a triple pack for the 3DS I'd buy that and the system in an instant.

I remember that but never played it. Was it decent? I Wasn't really a Wu-Tang fan, I admit.

I played Earthbound on the SNES and liked the concept, how it wasn't part of the whole swords and sorcery theme that you find with most of those games, but got stuck on it and had to quit. I might revisit it again someday. I've been debating selling the SNES cart for awhile...

I would've been interested to have played that Konami America-developed Castlevania game planned for the Dreamcast.

If you have any fondness left for SNES era RPGs (I know I do), I'd play it first before selling it. You ought to at least beat it if you ask me. The ending bits are pretty memorable.

Policenauts in English.. that doesn't require a modded PSX and a 3rd party patched japanese disc copy.

I have a friend that works for the company that makes Guild Wars 2. He says next year and that they're playing it in the office constantly.

I really want Shenmue III. I'd also like a Shenmue 1 and 2 collection. I really want to play those games again, but don't have a Dreamcast anymore.

English translations are OTW in Europe but they haven't been released yet. Still in development. But you can bet your ass I'll have them when they get translated.

BTW, I got JP versions of the games and tried them both out.

I can't imagine why anyone in my corner of the world would want to play these.

Fucking Nintendo. They need new management.

Since this is turning into a list of Ports that I really wish would happen:

Terminator Salvation (Arcade) ported to the Wii or Playstation Move.

I'd love to see that ported along with H2O Overdrive. Raw Trills wants to keep their games arcade exclusive which sucks because a lot of people aren't going to get a chance to play either game.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but Too Human 2. I genuinely enjoyed the first one and would love to see the rest of the story (and improvements on the gameplay of the first) as well as the promised 4-player co-op.

Yes I know it was canceled, but I'll go to my grave pissed off about this.

Was the whole reason I bought an import N64 and modded it to play American games at a fucking $500.00 + extra controller + Super Mario 64 pricetag. (I didn't want to wait on the Mario thing so that's why the import). I was sold on those Vaporware shots in EGM and other mags at the time, and REALLY believed a fucking ROBOTECH game was gonna come out.

:oh_no:
