10 Amazing Video Games You'll Never Get To Play

10. Mega Man Universe

What it was meant to be: Before Nintendo came along and fully realised the idea half a decade later with the brilliant Super Mario Maker, Capcom had already been brainstorming something similar. Not with the Big N's mascot, of course, but one of its own.

Sporting a trendy 2.5D aesthetic and a dedicated campaign based on Mega Man 2, Universe had also intended to provide players with the choice of creating their own custom stages and sharing them online for others to enjoy. Sounds, familiar, right?

Why you'll never play it: Capcom has never provided a concrete reason beyond a stock "various circumstances" response for Universe's cancellation, but it doesn't take a genius to join the dots. Just several months prior to the official announcement, Mega Man co-creator and Universe's producer Keiji Inafune confirmed his departure from Capcom, citing a desire to begin anew as the catalyst for his resignation.

Inafune, of course, went on to form Comcept and release Mighty No. 9, a supposed spiritual successor to Mega Man that became entangled in controversy over its numerous delays and eventual subpar quality. Oh dear.
