Nintendo has confirmed today that Shigeru Miyamoto’s pet project Project Giant Robot has been canceled. Alarm bells rang when the experimental Wii U game wasn’t mentioned in Nintendo’s latest earnings report. However, Nintendo did say previously that there wouldn’t be any other first party titles for the Wii U after The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Nintendo told Polygon it’s been cancelled “after considering our overall product and development strategy.”
Project Giant Robot Has Been Canceled
||Good, spend those resources on real weapons…||
am taking everything…
am everything…
*I’m, not “Am” you fucking Moron.
am not taking advices from pawns like you…
Thank god. Lol
Thank god! This game looked horrible!
Thank God X 2*
Yeah, I figured it was scrapped a while back when nothing ever came of it.
I didn’t know that development ever actually proceeded. Besides the one demo they showed at E3, I never saw anything on it.
Good, because when they showcased it, it was beyond cringeworthy. Also, it was predictable, considering project guard (which looked far more interesting, became a tack on to Star Fox Zero.
This game was just plain weird. I kinda want to play it for that reason tho… Well not really, I won’t miss it.
YAY.
I actually completely forgot about that game. But perhaps it’s for the best. The game looked rather shallow
RIP
I had a feeling this was the case but this puts me at ease.
to be honest, people are unfair. It was demo which I believe was made to demonstrate the gameplay. I do believe the game would have been much more interesting and polish.
If the initial showing doesn’t capture the audience, nothing will.

Not surprised at all by this.
OK now I remember that game. No wonder it has not been mentioned since then. i knew it’s gonna get cancelled.
it could be the predecessor to Arms in the way you use you body to knock out the opponent. they probably thought about how to turn Project Giant Robot into an esport and came out with Arms.
Yeah, I wasn’t really thrilled about this one anyway.
It looked more like a physics engine test than an actual project.
It also didn’t help that they BARELY ever mentioned this project after they announced it. Even Scalebound (another game that was cancelled (not to mention a game I wish was NEVER cancelled) had a lot more going for it than this.
Granted part of me actually WAS curious on what the final product would’ve looked like to see if it would raise interest, but now that it was cancelled that’s obviously not going to happen.
But when a third party supporter cancels a switch/wiiu version all the fanboys lose their minds.
Yooka-Laylee is a spiritual return of the already famous and loved Banjo-Kazooie series. This is/was an experimental new IP for a doomed system with a less-than-stellar line-up of games (with the top-tier games plague by their own share of disappointments). This game probably would’ve gotten the same baggage as Mighty No. 9, Star Fox Zero, Amiibo Festival, and Ultra Smash (have I missed any?).
But from a glance, it could’ve been another god game like Doshin the Giant.
Wouldn’t Arms be considered the spiritual end product of Project Giant Robot?
He should take a back seat and just coast it.
There are plenty of other Nintendo IPs that deserve comebacks (mainly platformers), before anyone gives a crap about this game.
I actually forgot this existed. So how long before Forma.8, RIVE, Action Henk, Hive Jump, and Kerbal Space Program get the ax too.
More “Nintendo-quality shovelware” for the Weak U. Won’t be missed.
And next to fail is the Nintendo Ditch! ggregz
Thank god
Project Giant Robot > 1, 2, 3 Switch. Just saying…
Looked really gimmicky, and not in a good way. Don’t really care.
This was almost an excuse to show something more at e3, to show that wiiu would be getting more games, and to show that Nintendo was really trying to use the gamepad functions. Just that.
Good. The game looked shitty anyway
Shame because a part of me was interested in it. Least it seems to be living on in some form thanks to ARMS which seems to be a spiritual successor, anyway.
