Why don't companies release / finish old cancelled games more often?

I absolutely understand that it's much easier said than done, along with the original developers having likely moved on, but there are so many promising games that were essentially done, but were victims of circumstance.
I just find it weird that we have retro-inspired indies becoming mainstream, endless feux-retro nostalgia merchandising, HD Collections, yet we rarely see many true post-lifetime releases.
>>
Because most of them aren't at the state of completion that StarFox 2 was. Pretty much all it needed were menus and some presentation stuff. Cancelled games are cancelled for a reason, and most of them don't even reach beta, so they would take a significant investment to get to a point where they can be released, that's if they even have the source code archived.

Also developing for older systems, aside from the unlikelihood of making decent sales, requires skills that their current teams might not have anymore.
>>
Probably because the people that have inherited those companies had nothing to do with its creation. An aftermarket release is completely unheard of to them.

You wouldn't be asking this if you had ever embarked on any creative endeavor.

There's still a lot of baked in ideas of progress as a necessary virtue with regards to video games, since video game evolution was concurrent with computational progression for almost its entirety. You still see that kind of language in use, people talking about whether a game or mechanic or genre is obsolete. Things are getting quite stagnant at this point, so we've started to see less calls for continual remasters and an appreciation for various kinds of aesthetics and mechanics for what they are. You have to remember that all of this stuff is very very new.

how do you find other fellow retro games fans? do you have a retro community in your area?

i had a bunch of good CRT monitors but ended up selling them to scalpers because all my social circle saw them as useless junk and convinced me to threw them away, i had nobody to reinforce me in my hobby and the reasons i had them to begin with

I don't really seek them out because I don't care that much for socializing but there are demo scene events and other retro gatherings and I see advertisements for them in the physical retro computing / hacker culture magazines I read. Chances are you have something similar in your area if you just look for it. Yeah they often revolve around demo stuff and hardware fetishization but there's usually gaming related activity too even when the events are not specifically about games.

>the hardware was too complicated for most devs to really take advantage of
the hardware was flawed and should have never been released. i think the people that engineered it tested how it would work if you used just one cpu at a time and didn't think of how you'd interact with multiple cpus at the same time sharing memory. this ended up giving a programmer massive performance penalties. it's fucking comical that nobody saw this as a problem until machines landed in the laps of developers trying to make games for this thing. also it's not like atari designed the hardware either, they bought a work in progress project from a bunch of british faggots.

That's a very good point, the draw distance just feels like it fades out naturally in the Saturn version while on PSX it just ends abruptly at the end of the tile, which coupled with the way you can see the world build up tile by tile is kinda shitty

>all the way

It's amazing how everyone forgets that the franchise was considered dead until Metroid Prime revived it. The only reason they gave it to Retro Studios was precisely because the franchise was dead so there was no harm if they fucked it up.

Or rather than "forget", they don't know, because they were still young when MP was made and assume it was always like that. Super Metroid only gained its current status after MP was made and thanks to emulation with the usual trend of "new game comes out -> I'll pretend I'm more knowledgeable by talking about the old game in that series even though I didn't care about it before said new game".

It seems like ever Metroid game since Fusion and Prime has been a step down. Prime 2 not as good as Prime 1, Prime 3 was bad, then Other M was crap. After that I had no faith in the series anymore and my 3DS broke, so I never got to play the others. For some strange reason it seems like they keep trying to force melee combat into Metroid since Other M. I didn't have high expectations for Prime 4, but when I saw the motorcycle that was enough to kill any interest I had, even before everyone was crying over the soiboy.
