Daigasso Band Brothers, Ridge Racer DS, And More Were Almost Released In China

Today our friend Chinese Nintendo has revealed several games that were almost released in mainland China but never saw the day of light.

During ChinaJoy 2005, iQue, the Chinese subsidiary of Nintendo, put out a schedule of upcoming titles for iQue DS and iQue Game Boy Advance. While many of these titles were eventually released in China, some did not for reasons unclear.

iQue DS titles that never saw the day of light include Daigasso Band Brothers, Ridge Racer DS, Metroid Prime Hunters, Electroplankton, and Kirby: Canvas Curse. We have the official Chinese logos for Daigasso Band Brothers and Ridge Racer DS:

And here are the canceled iQue Game Boy Advance titles:

  • WarioWare: Twisted!
  • Advance Wars
  • Kuru Kuru Kururin
  • Mario Kart: Super Circuit
  • Golden Sun: The Lost Age
  • Fire Emblem
  • Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
