Retro Studios is best known for its work on the Metroid and Donkey Kong franchises. Still, the developer has dabbled in a number of intriguing projects that have unfortunately wound up on the cutting room floor.

DidYouKnowGaming is back with another deep dive video looking into the studio's history, specifically detailing 8 projects that have, for one reason or another, ended up being cancelled.

The first is a project known as 'Adept', which the studio started working on after development on Metroid Prime 3: Corruption had concluded. The game again utilised the first-person perspective and is perhaps best described as 'Portal with combat', with the player able to shoot 'cylinders' that could instantly transport enemies, potentially trapping them or leading them away from the player.

There is an accompanying video if you're interested in learning more about these games - but, disclaimer: I haven't watched it. It's 43 minutes long !

Still, a shame some of these were cancelled... the 'Adept' game sounds like it would've been fun!
