I knew all of these, but it was still a nice read. Well except FFVII, but I was always curious of that, so thanks. =)
I think Zelda 64 had a for more interesting and rocky development than any of these, though, going through five or six completely different incarnations with varying storylines. (Starting off as adult and going back to kid, kid going to adult and having to refill the spiritual stones once you time traveled, and just plain adult, no kid, in a pseudo-remake of Link to the Past. ^^)
I actually followed Twelve Tales: Conker 64 all through development. I was pretty excited, but then after the Bad Fur Day unveiling, I was disappointed because I wouldn't be able to play the game because I would be way too young. Because of it, I try not to get excited for games in development and just wait for their actual release. It's a sad state of affairs.
