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

5. Mega Man Universe

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!
