I generally trust Nintendo's judgement on these things, but one day before production must have been very frustrating.

Yeah. Too bad, Saints Row 1 was great.

Considering Nintendo is funding games like Devil's Third, there must have been something wrong somewhere

What a shame.

Now I'm just curious on what it could've been.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

That's too bad, but there has to be some underlying issues for Nintendo to do this..

Better to cancel before production started than midway through.

They didn't want it to compete with Lego City Undercover. That game has some intense moments!

It was an open world Mushroom Kingdom game. Mario walks around stomping Gombas on the head, stealing Karts, driving around. At some places the camera gets a fixed position and the world turns into a platformer (much like Lego City). When Mario finds the Wing Cap he can fly around the entire world. And when he finds the Fludd he can reach places he can't reach otherwise.
The story was of course about the evil gangster boss Mr. Bowser who kidnap the princess and Mario has to fight Mr. B:s minions to save her.
