People who don't realize that Super Mario Sunshine is basically Super Mario 128 should be tortured.  It was just a dumb codename for Super Mario 64's followup.

Also, to hell with Glover. Ravenblade should be on the list. (Retro's never-finished pre-Metroid Prime project)

Even more so, Starcraft Ghost. Half the games on the list weren't even cancelled, they were just rumored and never materialized.

Miyamoto has stated that the concepts of Mario 128 were put into Pikmin and Mario Galaxy, not into Mario Sunshine.

Have you seen the Mario 128 video?  It's a perfect cross between Pikmin and Galaxy.

 

Oh I know that Mario 128's ideas ended up in Pikmin/Galaxy (I'm one of those poor bastards whos treats every nintendo rumor as gospel). Let me clarify what I meant: Mario 128, such as it was, was a loose assembly of ideas for the next Mario game, and a tech demo. Ultimately it would have just been the next Mario game. Sunshine ended up being the next Mario game, so once it came out...Super Mario Sunshine kind of stole it's status as the next Mario game. The fact that 128 was gonna be Super Mario 64's sequel (augmented by Sunshine's mediocrity) I think is what gives 128 it's near-legendary status.
