I had the Edge interview with Jez San put up on here a while ago, Jez saying company never did any Jaguar games because they knew when not to take risks etc.I also interviewed another Ex-Arg.coder a little while ago, for upcoming Classic Console Magazine piece, quote from it:

 

A: I know we had dev kit/s. I remember them coming in. I remember the tech department were looking at them but I’m not sure they went out to the dev teams. Creature Shock was being ported to anything with a CD and I do think porting work probably started for the Jag.

I can’t speak for Jez but I would assume it never surfaced for a few reasons. We were probably asking a bunch of money for the port and also Jez was smart in always seeing the next thing, and the Jag wasn’t it.

 

 

So yes, they had Jag Dev.kits, but as for actual games properly being started on Jaguar...looks like Argonaught joined many others in simply not seeing Jaguar as being commercially viable enough to support.
