A “Time Trial” mode was also available!ĭragon Sword was basically finished, but unfortunately, like many other N64 titles, it was destined to never see the light of day: it seems that the game was cancelled because MGM Interactive (the publisher) though that it would have not sell enough to gain profit.

Dragon Sword, officially announced in early 1998, is another cancelled game for the Nintendo 64.
