The Cancelled Maximo Adult-Only Game Pitch (Patreon)

Maximo: the Dark Knight is a cancelled “Adults Only” game pitch that was considered by Capcom USA to develop as a spiritual sequel to the Ghosts ‘n Goblins series. After Capcom of Japan shown their Ghosts ‘n Goblins N64 prototype to the press in 1996 (a game that was never released), a year later Capcom USA conceived their own pitch for Maximo on the Nintendo 64. Later the project switched to PS2 and Capcom USA created a new pitch for Maximo: the Dark Knight in late 1998, to be able to start development before Sony’s second console would be released in March 2000. Their idea was to create an action game for adult gamers, with violent gameplay, realistic visuals and a mature storyline: https://www.unseen64.net/2018/07/25/maximo-dark-knight-ps2-cancelled/
