Little was ever known of Raven Blade, other than that it was an RPG in which you were cast in the role of a sword-wielding medieval knight who had to battle dragons and demons. It was one of the first projects initiated by Retro Studios.

WHAT HAPPENED?
In July 2001, Nintendo announced that it had canned Retro Studios' GameCube RPG project, Raven Blade. After the game was canceled, the Austin, Texas-based developer laid off some of its employees and reallocated its resources to focus on another title, Metroid Prime, also for the GameCube.

"Raven Blade has been canceled," Nintendo of America said in an official statement. "It was a business decision and was made clearly based on the need to focus on Metroid and to ensure that it is a great game. We wanted to consolidate the resources that would have been needed to finish Raven Blade."
