How about Star Fox 2? Nintendo Power had this huge preview on it and everything, it looked pretty awesome. Judging from the most recent prototype ROM that someone found, the game was nearly complete when Nintendo pulled the plug, too. It's wierd how marketing works; the game probably would have sold tons of copies, but they were too obsessed with pushing the N64. Then again, that was just one of a long period of questionable management decisions in Nintendo.
I remember reading a long article about some game on the PS1, I forget the name now, that was supposed to be co-starring Bruce Willis. It had Willis as the player's partner, and you went through the game like in a buddy action movie, covering each other and even competing for powerups. There was talk of having the two of you share life bars, even. It sounded like a pretty promising idea.
The game that came out, they tossed the entire concept and just made it a shitty generic 3rd person action game because the playtesters wanted to play as Bruce Willis' character themselves. Interference from above probably had something to do with that too.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
