Game Boy Color Origins

Iridion 3D was originally being developed for the Game Boy Color platform under the name Iridion. The developers, Shin'en Multimedia decided it was much more difficult to market a game that was released on the Game Boy Color, so it was scrapped in favor of moving to the Game Boy Advance.

Iridion was said to be one of the most technically impressive games that really pushed the Game Boy Color hardware to its limits. Only a single level demo was ever seen.
