Jungle Emperor (Taitei, Kimba) Nintendo 64 Beta Unreleased

Cancelled game based on Osamu Tezuka’s famous anime series (Junguru Taitei, aka Kimba: The White Lion). Following game creator Shigeru Miyamoto’s admission that the project had run into “some trouble“ at E3 1998, Miyamoto hinted that the project may be on indefinite hold. When asked what he would consider to be his biggest failure, the Mario-creator answered: “I cannot tell you specifically what title it was, but a while ago we asked a popular celebrity to become a game director -- and together with me he was going to make a game. But that celebrity was too busy to concentrate on game-design, so even though we spent a lot of time working on the game, we could not release it to the market.“
