Welcome to my first video on cancelled and otherwise unreleased game systems lost to the annals of history. That's right, annals. I cover three systems, sort of, in this video, two that were very concrete that developers or engineers at the companies involved discussed in interviews and one that was rumored based on some magazine articles from the 90s that I remember reading, but spoiler alert, couldn't find despite many hours of research prior to this video. Maybe you guys will recognize my description and tell me what I was remembering! ANywya enjoy this look at some unreleased systems with a little bonus at the end! For best results, view at 1080p and 60fps.
