I respectfully have to disagree. Putting this here since it's (IMO only) handy to learn about other games that Nintendo wanted to publish, but couldn't proceed with it. As for information, I agree that we can't publish said pages unless it's been a game that was suppose to be published, but got canned like Hyenas.

Most of these games either exist as Moved To The Next Console or as prototype versions of existing games, were only pitches and nothing more, have so little information known about them to the point we probably couldn't make pages for them, or just plain aren't cancelled games in any respect (Skyward Sword???).
