Thomas and Friends: Hero of the Rails is a video game developed by Silverball Studios and published by Barnstorm Games in Europe and Oceania for the Nintendo Wii and DS, in 2010. It was to be released by Majesco Entertainment in North America, but it was never released as it was either postponed indefinitely or just cancelled for no legitimate reason, despite Thomas & Friends' large popularity and major success there. Additionally, now that support for the Nintendo Wii and DS has been discontinued and it has been confirmed that Nintendo Wii games are no longer made as of October 2018 whereas the DS games haven't been made anymore since 2015, a revival and a second release attempt of the US version are unlikely.
In the United Kingdom, the Nintendo DS version of this game was also bundled in "Thomas & Friends Gift Set" with two storybooks.
