/vr/ - Retro Games

I can't imagine we'll be getting any more SW97 leaks. Seems plausible that the ROM is on Nintendo's servers somewhere if the Pokemon SW97 demos were.

Who cares
Those ladies look cute

Im still foolishly holding out hope that the one /v/ "leak" from a while back is true and that Nintendo's next big rpg project after the last Xenoblade is going to be a finalized/remade version of the original Mother 3. But then again the Mario RPG remake exists so probably dead regardless.

>>10511501
Huh? What leak? You've got my attention

>>10511603
He's probably talking about the gigaleak

>>10511603
>>10511742
No, wasnt giga leak related. Just some anon that brought it up in a Mother thread on /v/ who linked a thread started by someone else who was discussing it from about a month prior and provided some sources of their internal info. Its probably bullshit, but the fact other people remembered the original thread when the other guy brought it up and the way the original guy described his "inside sources", plus the reluctance to do any non Japanese release of the original version as of yet, ehh its just wishful thinking. When Xenoblade Chronicles 4 or some other major non remake gets released, i will give up on it having any hope of occurring.

>>10511828
We've got at least 2 years before XC4 so, we'll see

>>10511839
Yeah. Currently only thing that may already discredit it is the Mario RPG remake, but idk if that would be considered a "big rpg project". Until I see something big and 3D, I will keep my fingers crossed.

>>10511849
I'm just praying we magically get dev assets of mother 64 or even a dev build before the decade ends

Why did it take until the fucking 2020s for Westerners to realize they could just read old Japanese magazines to get information on old video games?

>>10512049
lmao

>>10512049
I'll do you one better:
Why haven't natives contributed to online discussions and documentation?

>>10512879
They almost certainly have —you just can't read it.

>>10511936
If the online sources are correct with the information they've gathered, there was A LOT more data involved than what we got out of 2018-2020.
The Giga Leak and SpaceWorld9X chronicles are but drops in a cup.

>>10512882
Okay smartass
>contributed to western online discussions in a language the host domain's audience can comprehend

>>10512879
You just don't know how to look, or how to read what you find.
Stop being mystified by this shit and learn Japanese. And when you do, stop sharing it with westerners and treating it like some kind of lost trivia.

>>10512891
I only learned enough gana/kana to read the onomatopoeia in hentai on nyou booru and sad panda.

>>10511306
Is that Misato Katsuragi?

>>10511429
tfw no 90s Japanese waifu

KEK

>>10512891
what if i want to share it is that allowed

>>10511306
What's Misato doing up there?

This was feb 1998 so it was peak Eva popularity in Japan. Probably the girl was wearing that outfit on purpose.

>>10512890
Why would they? How often do Americans go on 2ch can give long, exhaustive explanations of Usenet, shareware, and why all video game displays literally faced wherever the toy department was in most big box stores until the 00s? Hell, for that matter; how many Europeans do the same thing with Americans? Most of them know at least a kindergartner's level of English.

>>10517589
soul, I love Japan so much

>>10511306
>1998
New info....

>>10517589
Ah, nice. Cool to see Eva and Mother next to each other like that.

>>10520884
As previously stated, Westerners have only just now found out that they can just find old industry magazines from Japan to learn information about Japanese things.

>>10511828
That's retarded. Monolith has nothing to do with Mother. There's no reason to associate them.

Faggot this is obviously fake. Look at that blurry-ass image and those faces on the girls that don't even have proper human features. This is AI generated.

That ain't mother 3, I can see Pokeballs in the background for the menu.

>>10521251
No dummy, never said Monolith was apart of it. The post said Nintendo's next "big rpg project" after Xenoblade 3, as in the next major rpg they were publishing/funding was going to be a full M3 remake/finished version based on original concept. I merely was saying if another major rpg comes out soon, like say a Xenoblade 4 announcement, since thats really the only major rpg IP Nintendo has now(unless we count fucking modern paper mario) then the rumor is definitely dead. The Mario RPG remake though possibly could or could not also have already killed it.

>>10521352
Maybe it's an early version of Pokemon Stadium?

>>10512049
kek accurate

why dont fans make their own mother 64 using all available information, even a demo would be cool. Theres been total remakes before.

What if mother 3 came out but it's actually just a mid n64 game

>>10511334
The Pokemon SW97 roms were apparently tucked away in a backup of the gen 2 source code.

>>10521286
Oddly thematically appropriate given how Mother 3 ends

>>10522852
I think there was a project to recreate the original ideas for 64 in the style of the current Mother 3 but I have no idea if it went anywhere, I can't find any info about it on MotherForever.

>>10512879
>Why haven't natives contributed to online discussions and documentation?
Why would they? Video games are just mindless child entertainment of no value

>>10522858
There is proof that Mother 64 had its assets reworked for Blues Brothers 2000. Follow the clues.

>>10512890
Okay faggot, why haven't you contributed to eastern online discussions in a language the host domain's audience can comprehend? Have you ever went on Japanese forums to tell them, in Japanese, about the development of Doom and Quake?

>>10524018
>

This looks like a Pokémon Stadium debug menu.

>>10525574
Wouldn't be surprised if Mother 3 and Pokemon Stadium shared staff.

>>10525575
>Wouldn't be surprised if Mother 3 and Pokemon Stadium shared staff.
Satoru Iwata [HAL Laboratory], possibly along with other staff, assisted with the development of Pokémon Stadium's porting of the Battle System from the Game Boy games.
HAL also worked on the Mother series from the second installment-onward.
>Creatures Inc. is the successor of Ape Inc., the main developers of the first two Mother titles
>Also affiliated with Game Freak
People often hyper-focus on the big names in the game when ingesting their articles,
but the main thing they overlook are the keywords such as Developer(s), Producer(s) and Publisher(s).

>>10525653
Yeah there's a lot of overlap between Mother and Pokemon.
I also know PAX SOFTNICA (who worked as assistants on Mother 1 and 2) also worked on Pokemon Snap.

Any chance at staff overlap between EB64 and Okage on ps2? Thats probably the closest releases game that feels like the original M3.

>>10525661
The main distinction is observing the roles between Visionaries and Engineers.
Sure, the Visionaries can program, but the Engineers make it can happen and often devise unusual methods to ensure that it does.
It's helpful to regard this distinction when analyzing software. Makes things more comprehensible when unravelling a (set of) method(s).

>>10525575
They did share some staff.

>>10522858
>What if mother 3 came out
It did come out. Why do people talk as if it doesn't exist

>>10512049
>>10512891
Is your annoyance implying that you've known about these facts for years and just never thought to bring this up to the western community?

>>10527048
soul

>>10527414
It's not my job to share what I read about with the whole internet.
I could go on for hours about JP-only novels and other shit I've read that I found very interesting, and I do have these discussions with certain close friends or my brother, but there is no need for me to share it with everyone on the internet. Packaging it as DID YOU KNOW GAMING tier facts is in bad taste and reeks more of attention seeking than it does genuine interest to share information with others.

>>10512049
They knew, it really just takes that long to become competent in moon runes.

>>10530681
>ummm I know secret game information but I won't tell it to you... out of politeness
Well then I won't tell you what my dad is working on at Nintendo either

>>10530725
Learn to read English, retard.

>>10530681
>It's not my job to share what I read about with the whole internet.
Then you aren't useful to us nor do we want you.

>>10531138
You know what to do then.

>>10511429
Son those women are blurry, you can't tell they're cute.
