Canceled Movies

Super Mario Bros. 2	N/A	Mario, Luigi, Daisy	While not outright confirmed at the time, a sequel was hinted at the end of the first movie, but would've been ultimately dropped due to the critical failure of the first movie. In 2013, a sequel was indeed confirmed planned, surviving through a webcomic written by Steven Applebaum and Ryan Hoss and illustrated by Eryk Donovan, titled "Super Mario Bros. 2". The film's surviving original writer, Parker Bennett, helped outline the webcomic's storyline, making it canonical to the film and finally revealing what could have been a sequel film.
The Legend of Zelda	Canceled by 2007	Link, Zelda	Would've been the first appearance for Link and Zelda. In 2007, Imagi Animation Studios, who provided the animation for TMNT and Astro Boy, created a pitch reel for a computer-animated Legend of Zelda movie, though Nintendo didn't take the studio up on their offer due to the failure of Super Mario Bros.
Metroid	Canceled by 2007	Samus, Ridley	Would've been the first appearance for Samus and Ridley. The movie was first agreed upon in 2003 with Nintendo being on board, but was canceled sometime in 2007 due to Nintendo not having a good grasp of Samus' origin at the time, and didn't feel comfortable with the production team being in charge of it due to the commercial flop of Super Mario Bros.
Pac-Man	Canceled by 2008	Pac-Man	Would've been the first appearance for Pac-Man. In 2008, a film adaptation of Pac-Man was announced to be developed by Crystal Sky. However, nothing has been reported since, and it was likely quietly canceled.
Castlevania	Canceled by 2009	Simon	Would've been the first appearance for Simon. In 2005, the rights to make a live action adaptation were acquired by Crystal Sky Pictures. However, due to a series of issues surrounding the studio, the film was ultimately canceled.

Fan films

Fan films are under a different set of rules: They must be well-known enough to be noticed by the original creators. If a fan film does not meet this requirement, it will not be added to this list, strike some exceptions. Additionally, all characters in this category will not follow under the "first appearance" habit, nor will any of them be removed from the "Unannounced" section if they appear here.

The Legend of Zelda	4/1/2008	Link, Zelda, Ganondorf	An elaborate April Fools prank by IGN, they released a trailer for a movie based on the franchise. Due to its high quality and the higher difficulty to validate information at the time, many fans were fooled, believing the movie was real. On April 2nd, they revealed it was a prank, sparking outrage.
Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy	9/27/2009	Snake
The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time	12/14/2009	Link, Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf	Based on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the film takes many deviations to the point where the only things similar are the main characters and story.
Pokémon Apokélypse	9/20/2010	Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, Mewtwo	While not mentioned by Nintendo, the fact that this trailer took the internet by storm and became a popular subject in the Pokémon community for quite a while is enough to warrant a mention of this.
Sonic	1/10/2013	Sonic	While not mentioned by Sega, this film did notably return the inclusion of Jaleel White as Sonic, reprising the role from the multitude of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons from the 90s.
Metroid: The Sky Calls	11/2/2015	Samus, Zero Suit Samus	While not mentioned by Nintendo, this was made by the same studio who made the aforementioned IGN Zelda trailer.

Unaired Episodes

Shaking Island Battle! Dojoach VS Namazun!!	Was scheduled to air 11/4/2004	Pikachu	This episode was skipped due to the 2004 Chūetsu earthquake, which occurred a week before the first airing of the prior episode. Likely due to the usage of Earthquake within the episode, it was considered poor taste to air it and moves such as Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude have not been used in the anime since.
Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan! (Part 1)	Was scheduled to air 3/17/2011	Pikachu	These episodes were indefinitely delayed after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, as well as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster that was subsequently caused by the event. Reports from TV Tokyo stated that they would someday air, but ultimately never did, and they were eventually written out of the anime's continuity.
Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan! (Part 2)	Was scheduled to air 3/24/2011	Pikachu

Canceled TV Shows

The Legend of Zelda

N/A

Link, Zelda

Back in 2015, a rumor spread that Nintendo and Netflix were working together to create a Legend of Zelda TV show, described as a "kid-friendly Game of Thrones." This rumor stayed completely unconfirmed until 2021, where it was revealed that a TV show was indeed in development, but quickly canned after word got out about it.

Specials

Formerly called "movie shorts", specials are in a separate category of their own, as a special could be released in a wide variety of ways in varying lengths, making classifying them as either television or movie incorrect. Specials no longer count for a debut on either side, but will still be listed anyway.
