10 Cancelled Video Games You Won't Believe Were In Development

5. Mega Man Universe

Batman Gotham By Gaslight
Capcom

Mega Man (or, Rock Man, as he’s known in Japan, for some reason - because he’s hard? Because there’s nobody... boulder... than him?) is a pretty cool guy. Created by Doctor Light to defeat Doctor Wily and his seemingly-endless robot army (in a plot which is startlingly similar to Astro Boy), Mega Rock Bloke has the unique ability to absorb the powers of whichever boss robot he brutally murders.

Now imagine that - but merged with Super Mario Maker. Imagine the ability to create your own Mega Stone Gentleman (and accompanying levels), on Xbox 360.

Every day since its cancellation, I mourn the loss of my character - Mega Cobblestone Fellow, and his world, Improperly Maintained Garden Centre Zone.

Hiya, you lot! I'm Tommy, a 39-year-old game developer from Scotland - I live on the East coast in an adorable beachside village. I've worked on Need for Speed, Cake Bash, Tom Clancy's The Division, Driver San Francisco, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, Kameo 2 and much more. I enjoy a pun and, of course, suffer fools gladly!
