Cancelled Eartbound on GameCube, Pirate Adventure, 16bit shmup (Patreon)

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

Spanish Blood [Playstation, Saturn]:a cancelled pirate-themed adventure game that was in development by Scavenger, planned to be released for Playstation and Sega Saturn. While there are no details about Spanish Blood’s gameplay, we can speculate it would have been a seafaring adventure, with players exploring the sea on their boat, fighting against pirates and finding hidden treasures: https://www.unseen64.net/2019/11/04/spanish-blood-playstation-saturn-cancelled/

Zodiac [Mega Drive]: a cancelled shoot ‘em up in development at Ubisoft around 1992 – 1993, by a team composed of  Frederic Houde (one of the designers behind the original Rayman and Tonic Trouble) and Laurent Cluzel (who worked on Starush, a 1992 Amiga shmup, and later on The City of Lost Children): https://www.unseen64.net/2019/11/04/zodiac-ubisoft-megadrive-cancelled/

Earthbound [GameCube]:in 2003 Baten Kaitos director Yasuyuki Honne proposed to Nintendo a new Mother / Earthbound RPG for GameCube, but in the end the game was cancelled. This project was pitched in summer 2003, just a few months before the release of Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, possibly to become their following collaboration between Nintendo, Monolith Soft, tri-Crescendo and Namco: https://www.unseen64.net/2019/11/03/earthbound-mother-gamecube-cancelled/
