Canned games for Saturn?

Extra Hard Mid Boss
There's one list at SEGA-Network.de, but I don't know on what grounds the games were included. Some games listed (eg. Rollcage) were released so late I doubt they were even considered for the Saturn, let alone announced.

were there any that were nearly complete, like propeller arena and half-life on the dreamcast?
I'm sure that Fighting Force was almost completed, one of the saturn demo discs had a playable demo for it.
I also heard that Eternal Champions was completed and cancelled at the last minute.
A user here has dev versions of several of those unreleased games, including Return Fire (which is almost perfectly complete according to him).

Resident Evil 2 was announced, but then cancelled.
Tomb Raider II was coming to Saturn, but Sony bought the exclusive rights.
Fighting Force might've suffered the same fate (Not so sure on that though).
Sonic X-treme (We all know this one).
That's all I can think of right now.

That was a rolling demo. But it was demo that was running on the actual ENGINE in real time. Someone should hack it sometime.
Im planning to do a detailed list sometime, with information like why it was cancelled, how far in progress it was etc.
Here's some titles;
*Bedlam - Nearly or totally finished. Review copies were send out.
*Cybersled. - The only Namco title. Completed but unreleased.
*Syndicate wars (Bullfrog) - Game was complete apart from the FMV. Got cancelled when Bullfrog laid off all saturn development. (Spring '97)
*Reloaded - Playable demo released, probably near completed.
*Micro machines v3. Got cancelled because of the many delays. Had loads of development hassles.
*Chill - '98. Unreleased, probably because of the lack of pros this game had over the just released Steep slope sliders. Review copies were send out.

*Resident evil 2 - started but cancelled because of the Dreamcast announcement.
*Return fire. Completed, review copies send out. Cancelled for unknown reasons. There's threads on this board about a possible release.
*Adidas power soccer - Into testing phase. To be published by Perfect entertainment. Disappeared without a trace.
*Shredfest, EA - Ran on the Road rash engine. Cancelled for both PSX and Saturn. Probably because it was crap.
*Perfect weapon - Was to be released summer '97. Disappeared without a trace.
*Lethal enforcers 1&2 double pack - To be released summer '97..disappeared etc.
*Wild 9's - Delayed, delayed, delayed cancelled. By Dave Perry.
*Rattlesnake Red - For summer 97. Cancelled on all formats.(acclaim)
*Grand theft auto (nooooooooooooooo!) unknown reasons.
Too many other titles, but I wont list 'em all now.
Tis a shame... alot of really cool games that could have helped the Saturn out alot.
Well my quote came from an interview with Capcom. (SSM)
