A VIDEO game which was set to be released on the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X has been canned just days before its release.
Fans were gearing up to purchase Nickelodeon Splat Pack when it dropped on January 30.
However, Mighty Rabbit Studios and Limited Run Games’ latest release has been spiked.
The package features a selection of five retro fan favourite including Rocko’s Modern Life: Spunky’s Dangerous Day, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and GUTS.
But gamers will be happy to hear that there are other ways to enjoy the throwback offerings.
The Nintendo Switch, PC, and PS5 versions of the release will be available to purchase.

Reasons for shunning Xbox’s inclusion have not been revealed, though a lack of interest from users has been tipped as a motivating factor.
It comes just days after Ubisoft slammed the brakes on six video games as part of a company “reset” that has already seen around 3,000 jobs axed.
The French gaming giant, behind blockbuster hits like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Just Dance, confirmed it has cancelled projects, shut studios and delayed titles in a sweeping shake-up of its business.
Boss Yves Guillemot said the painful moves were needed to steady the ship and “create the conditions for a return to sustainable growth” after a tough few years for the firm.
But investors weren’t convinced, with Ubisoft shares plunging a staggering 33 per cent on Thursday morning following the bombshell announcement.
The headline casualty is the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, a reworking of the beloved 2003 classic that sold millions and has been stuck in development hell for years.
That decision has left fans stunned, especially at a time when remakes and remasters are booming, with refreshed versions of games like Super Mario Galaxy, Oblivion and Metal Gear Solid 3 proving huge hits in 2025.
