Can canceled games be revived?

[firebush03]

There are def games that get canned only to be revived a few years/decades later: Some immediately examples that comes to mind are Metroid Dread (originally teased/announced(?) for DS, but got canned due to technical limitations IIRC) and Kirby: Return to Dreamland (originally intended to be a GCN game, but got scrapped). There’s also Mother 3 (N64) — like Jumpin pointed out — that would eventually become Mother 3 (GBA).

As for what I would want to see revived? Skylanders Seven is a personal pick. Would also love to see that one Zelda game where Sheik was going to be the main protag. Mother 3 (N64) is another one.
