The Star Wars Rogue Squadron Compilation. This one hurts the most. The game was completed. It would have fulfilled the promise of motion-controlled lightsaber fights with motion-plus. It could be brought to the Switch with minimal effort and just upscaled to HD and with the motion controls mapped to the joy cons. And they just won't do it. I don't know if there's licensing issues or if EA is just being horrible again, but this game should have released every year since work on it was completed and its a crime we still don't have it.

I didn't know about this one.  That sucks.  I just looked it up.  What I could find was that as Factor 5 went bankrupt, they sold the game to a newly created company that was basically just Factor 5 management and developers.  They finished the game in 2009, but due to lawsuits with former employees of Factor 5 that were not resolved until 2015, LucasArts decided not to release the game.  Once those lawsuits were resolved, it was just too late.
