Lost Saturn SRPG by Gainax, Coop Tomb Raider & N64 Coop with Ostriches (Patreon)

Keeping up with our niche queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, this week we added 3 cancelled games in the Unseen64 archive:   

Shinbatsu [Sega Saturn]a cancelled strategy / simulation game that was in development for the Sega Saturn around 1995. The project was being produced by popular animation studio Gainax, just a few months before the first original run of their cult-series: Evangelion https://www.unseen64.net/2019/04/03/shinbatsu-gainax-sega-saturn/

Raiders [PS3, Xbox 360, PC]a cancelled project in the Tomb Raider series, that would have been developed for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC as a coop multiplayer spin-off, before Crystal Dynamics decided to instead working on Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Raiders’ concept was heavily different from The Guardian of Light, as it would have been much more similar to the original Tomb Raider games, with third person exploration, platforming and shooting combat https://www.unseen64.net/2019/04/03/raiders-coop-tomb-raider-cancelled/

Joust X [Nintendo 64] The original Joust is a 1982 arcade game developed by Williams Electronics, that became quite popular at the time. As we can read on Wikipedia, “The player uses a button and joystick to control a knight riding a flying ostrich. The objective is to progress through levels by defeating groups of enemy knights riding buzzards” https://www.unseen64.net/2019/04/03/joustx-nintendo64-cancelled/
