Are you sure they did CrossworDS?  Disaster can't be said to have been cancelled (after all, I own it! Bwahahaha!) But we can plot the story of why it wasn't released in the US easily enough. I'm still hoping Project HAMMER resurfaces. It looked like set hammer motions would happen when you did certain gestures, but we all know we wanted full control of that thing. Wii Motion Plus, anybody? Cha-ching!! says that a company called Nuevo Retro Games made it while Wikipedia says NRG and NST. NST were supposely working on a casual product after PH had the plug pulled. |

Yes, Project HAMMER was one that never made it past E3 2006...
E3 2001 had tons. There was Raven Blade (by Retro), Diddy Kong Pilot (in its original form with an gyroscope that could go multiple directions), Donkey Kong: Coconut Crackers (later reformatted as It's Mr. Pants)
EDIT: Oh, and Donkey Kong Racing.
E3 2003 Giftpia was shown. But since that was in Japan, so does it count?

Raven Blade was cancelled to bring over more developers for Metroid Prime. Interestingly, Spire from Hunters may be based on an enemy from it: |

Interestingly, Spire from Hunters may be based on an enemy from it: Ariticle is interesting but the monster in question from the trailers just looks like a generic rocky/molten rock monster. No crystal like qualitlites to it. Also on the topic of RB, it's never ever, ever going to get revived/released due to Retro not being happy with the game and destroying all disks/storage containing it. |

Not least because MP Hunters wasn't even developed by Retro Studios I think we can safely put that on the "unlikely" pile. |

Oh well, they ARE based in Austin, Texas after all...* * Austin is the "arch-rival" city of College Station and thus a lot of jokes are made, some of them are Austin's ("Keep Austin Weird") |

I remember that Nintendo Puzzle Collection was once in E3 but then was scrapped and kept as Japan-only in 2003- (-ll-)

Here's a short article from Siliconera on Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball. According to Senior Engineer Steve Snake, the game was finished, submitted and approved, but that's as far as it went. It bares echoes of Star Fox 2. SF2 was unreleased because of Star Fox 64. I wonder if Nintendo actually held back NPCB (and never ported it to the Wii) because of Wii Sports. |
