Some entries that mention being cancelled on another platform may have originated from that platform's respective cancelled video games entry, and copied there. Probably not an attribution issue because I probably wrote the entirety of the entry there too, but just for completeness sake. Sergecross73 msg me 18:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is a list of remaining games listed in the Cancelled N64/64DD Games categories but not on this page; each of these will need to be checked to confirm their accuracy or find sources to verify them, at which point they should be added to the list; if no source can be found, they should be removed from the category That part's done. I've also included a few edge cases that aren't clear in whether they should be included or not.

Any assistance verifying the games listed above would be much appreciated. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Tracked down a source confirming   Done ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth was considered for N64. The "25 games" article from TheGamer also claims   Done Gradius IV was planned at one point, but I haven't found any others. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Organized the list based on progress made. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wow, we actually made a lot of progress pretty quickly here. Makes writing the entries easier when you've already got this stuff lined up. I probably won't have any more time today, but I'll try to start writing up some entries tomorrow. Sergecross73 msg me 20:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Happy to have helped. I couldn't find any sources for those last handful of games, so I took them off the list and removed them from the categories; they should be in sync with the article now. I'll let you make the final call on whether the edge cases above qualify. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nintendo64Ever edit

Found a few more games by checking Nintendo64Ever, which is itself an unreliable source, but does feature several scans of contemporary magazines that were doing previews at the time and would count. An issue of Next Generation also features several previews for upcoming games, including some of the ones below.

If nothing else, it's more leads to go on. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 01:51, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the heads up. I'd been working on removing them as a source, but I hadn't noticed their scans previously. That could be helpful. Sergecross73 msg me 17:05, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
More progress steadily being made, along with adding a TOC to keep things organized. We've covered every game in that "25 Games" article from The Gamer as well, so we don't need to rely on that anymore. There's around 30-35 games left, so the article should hopefully be in mostly compete shape soon. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 17:01, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you again for your assistance on this. Its looking great. I'm planning on bouncing back to it here and there over time. (Side note: It's funny, I just fell down a rabbit hole reading about how Die Hard 64 turned into Die Hard Vengeance and came to see you had already added the same thing. We're on the same wavelength!) Sergecross73 msg me 16:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ha ha, thanks; funny how that works out. It's nice to see the list getting meaningfully filled out. Once the remaining games from the Nintendo64Ever list above have been added, I might do a sweep of Unseen64's list to see what we don't have in the article already and try to find any reliable sources that mention them. Probably won't be able to find anything for most of them, but I figure it's worth a shot. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 16:39, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Lots of progress made today. We're down to 10 remaining games from the Nintendo 64Ever list; I imagine one of us could probably bang some write-ups out for those over the next week or two. The one real "white whale" left across all these lists is X'Treme Roller. It feels weird not to list a game that has a playable prototype out in the wild, but I can't even find any reviews or articles for the version that did release on PlayStation, let alone the N64 version that didn't. Might be a lost cause. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
And THAT is officially the end of the Nintendo64Ever list. Like I said before, I think there's room to revisit this by searching through Unseen64 to pull together a list of games we don't have logged and looking around to see if better sources can be found, but for right now, I'm absolutely calling this a win and content to take a well-earned break. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, thank you, you've done amazing work. Its absolutely wild to see its current status to where it started the year at before we both started cleaning it up. It's come a long ways! Sergecross73 msg me 16:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
No kidding; super happy with the state of things. I did take a quick look at that old revision to see if there was anything we missed, and did find reliable sources for the existence of   Done Centipede X,   Done Derby Day, Extreme Sports 64,   Done Ikazuchi no Go,   Done On & Off Racing,   Done Warball, and   Done Waterworks, along with the previously unmentioned   Done Chanbara Fighter. One of us can add those later. (I know DidYouKnowGaming also did a video on cancelled N64 games at one point, and while that's obviously not a usable source, it could at least be used to help inform what else to look for and where to look.) -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 17:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ended up adding all of the above, save for Extreme Sports since apparently the report that was coming to N64 was false. Unless someone goes combing through Unseen64 and DYKG to find every game we don't mention and check them all for sources, I think we're good. Heck, it might even be good enough for a Featured nom by now. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:53, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Okay, after combing through Part 1 and Part 2 of DYKG's "Every Cancelled N64 game" videos, and removing entries that we already have or that have no details whatsoever, I've compiled a list of every game mentioned there that we might be able to include if we can find better sources, along with what little information could be provided from unreliable sources.

Again, none of these are good enough on their own (with one or two specific exceptions), but it does at least give us some names to keep an eye out for. Thoughts on if any of these are worth pursuing or adding would be appreciated-- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:22, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
