Major Damage
Platform: Saturn, PlayStation
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom

The Basics
It may have been a comic game, but it wasn't to be a kiddie game. Major Damage would have taken the 2D shoot-em-up formula and added a sense of humor, supported mainly by the cartoony rendered characters, enemies, and city landscape. Major Damage would've placed a premium on one- or two-player simultaneous mass destruction, causing anything on the screen to became a potential target: buildings, windows, garbage cans, etc. Also, items in the background were designed destructible - and once destroyed, they would have occasionally revealed power-ups.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Major Damage was canceled once Capcom halted US development plans, shortly after the disappointing performance of its Fox Hunt title.

Pinky & The Brain
Platform: Saturn, PlayStation
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Konami

The Basics
Warner Bros.' Animaniac characters Pinky & The Brain almost made their video game debut on the Sega Saturn and the Sony PlayStation, but it didn't happen. Brain, of course, is the smarter of the mouse duo and he uses his genius to devise plans for taking over the world. Pinky, on the other hand, isn'tall that interested in world domination; he just hangs out with his pal Brain and usually fouls up his partner's plans. The Saturn version would have generally followed this storyline in the planned singleplayer action game.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Quietly canceled.
