The stuff of your potential nightmares -- Nintenhorse and Nintendolphin -- were almost 3DS games.
This massive bombshell was dropped by Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata during the Nintendo World Event in Japan last week. Unfortunately, both the dolphin and horse (targeted at Europeans, apparently) ideas were scrapped when Shigeru Miyamoto got a cat.
And what Shiggy wants, Shiggy gets -- Nintendogs & Cats is set to launch alongside the system this year. The game will bring the cuddly little purr pals to the handheld, along with camera support that will have the animals recognizing its owners by sight. Creepy.

Dolphins would of been awesome though, and I still want Nintendbirds to happen at some point.
Either way it's still crazy that Shiggy gets a cat and the ideas are abandoned.
*writes a letter to Miyamoto*
Shiggy: Yup, wat say we make nintendolphins and a nintendohorses and announce it at the Nintendo Worldwide Conference.
Iwata: deal!
(At world conference)
Shiggy: DUDE! SCRAP THE PROJECT, SAKURAI GOT ME A KITTY!
Iwata: but we're almost finish-
Shiggy: I GOTS A KITTEH! MAKE A NINTENDOGS+CATS!
Iwata: *sigh* then you'll make Pikmin 3?
Shiggy:<.< maybeh.
Ah who am I kidding, if they made one, there'd be at least 5 shovelware lookalike games inside the year.
