Major Damage is an unreleased Sega Saturn action game once due to be published by Capcom.
In Major Damage players take on the role of one of two characters, and traverse across stages shooting enemies while jumping across platforms. It is a "2.5D" game, in which backgrounds are rendered in 3D, but gameplay is played in two dimensions. Sprites are made from pre-rendered computer graphics, pioneered by the likes of Donkey Kong Country.
Major Damage was reportedly axed due to Sega's decision to cease supporting the Sega Saturn console. The game was nearly finished, so the developers instead pitched the idea to Sony for the original PlayStation. Sony rejected it, potentially due to the game's similarities with the game Blasto. David Siller of Capcom Digital Studios has also suggested it was cancelled for just being a bad game[1].
Two early prototypes of the game have since been leaked onto the internet.
