List of cancelled Sega CD games
Appearance
This is a list of cancelled Sega CD video games. The Sega CD never established much of a userbase, which resulted in a multitude of cancelled games. Early in its lifespan, many upgraded Sega Genesis ports were cancelled, while later in its lifespan, game development was cancelled in favor of moving games to the Sega 32X, Sega Saturn, or even Sony's original PlayStation console. This list documents all known games that were confirmed for release for the Saturn at some point, but did not end up being released for it.[1]

Akira | An adaptation of the 1988 anime film Akira was planned for release on Sega Genesis, Super NES and Sega CD in 1995, with Game Boy and Game Gear games based on the film also being considered.
