>>2103525
I laughed. I'm still laughing. I'll be laughing for a while.

>>2103525
You motherfucker.

>>2103507
Having never beaten Mach Rider I'm not understanding the mystery here.

>>2103507
>You will never be the girl on the right.

wait, so you insert a coin, and he turns into a bikini chick?

this is a fucking goldmine. why arent we doing this now?

Obligatory.

But seriously, I spent a good 2 years of my childhood reading about this and trying to find hints. I dunno if I dreamt this but I think I remember the day that Rare confirmed it was scrapped entirely, broke ma heart

>>2103638
>>2103738

As you beat Vs. Mach Rider, the girl on the right is formed tile by tile. She shows up gradually before finally revealing herself. No one knows if the girl is indeed Mach Rider or someone else.

>>2104475
She's pretty ripped for a girl, then.

>>2103785
Fucking Nintendo.
Why'd they have to shorten the time that games stay in memory?

>>2103785

They did.

I remember that the reason was that the games were supposed to carry the eggs from one to another. But, the process was going to be done by taking the game out and inserting the other one in during play. Nintendo didn't like that idea so it was scrapped.

>>2103514
its just the master quest
you probably mean the disk drive expansion that was never made

>>2104802
its not that nintendo "didnt like it"
rare was exploiting a design flaw in the rambus architecture where ram memory would stay powered for a few seconds after turning the console off
you were supposed to switch carts in these couple seconds and the next cart would read the leftover memory

thing is that with later N64 models they fixed that fault, now memory gets wiped out almost instantly which ruined the gimmick and the possibility of a cold swap

>>2103785
Didn't they add it back in for the x360 version?

>>2104902
kind of, but you only unlocked xbox live avatars and vehicle pieces in nuts and bolts

>>2104517
And she has the pecs of a man.

>>2104832
The GBA had a thing where the hardware was designed to allow you to pull carts with the power on. If the cart is removed it triggers an interrupt that sticks the CPU onto a pre-set code path in RAM to allow your game to set things up for a swap or at least to pause and say "Stick the cart back in dingus." No one used it that I know of and I get the impression they didn't want people to do it anyway.

>>2104942
It also did things for the XBL version of Tooie.

>>2106994
You unlock Stop 'n' Swap 2.
Rare still now how to fuck people over.

>>2106983
When using the e-Reader you could load a game and run it, then take the e-Reader out and still play the game.

>>2104830
He does, the one where Miyamoto wanted to go full TECHNOLOGY about 10 years before it would have been realistic to do so.

Now we have the tech, but we don't have the ace team and miyamoto is an old man depleted of energy. It is a sad thing that we have lost to time.

>>2104545
>>2104545

Maybe it causes some obscure glitch in some shovelware games and Nintendo decided to fix it just in case?

What Sonic (and console gaming in general) would be like if Sega had survived the 6th generation.

>>2104545
it probably saved money
why did Rare think it was ok to use such a trick when we had memory cards?

>>2107118
Because it would've been fucking cool as fuck, also wouldn't require extra shit like a memory card. In other words, more people would be able to use the function.

>>2107189
seems like to me having a save to unlock the eggs/ice key in tooie would have been much easier

>>2107261
For developers, yes, but costlier for consumers.

>>2107068
Probably the same because Sonic Adventure and everything after it is fucking gay.

>>2109145
To be fair they at least seemed to be trying with Sonic Adventure 2, only to say fuck everything as they made Heroes, Shadow and 06, not having a home console to develop a game for seems weird because now they're all among the crowd, unlike with the Dreamcast which was the most powerful console of that period

>>2103507
Is that gurl Fujiko Mine? She looks exactly like her, and the bike doesn't help.

>>2103525
Probs showing my age, but fuck it.

>I don't get the joke.

>>2103514
I don't know why people keep bringing up Ura Zelda as if it's some holy grail. Ocarina spawned two successor projects and both were released.

Ura Zelda became Master Quest since the 64DD blew up in Nintendo's face and they just crapped out what was finished as a collector's item.

Zelda Gaiden was Majora's Mask. That's it. There is no super sekrit mystery N64 Zelda that never saw the light of day and is gathering dust in Miyamoto's tool shed.

>>2111614
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Go-Go's

>>2111643
I think it has more to do with what Ura Zelda was thought to eventually contain (nnew locations like Horsehead fountain, new items, etc).

>>2111663
(Make that Unicorn fountain, appaapparently )

>>2109973
I think you may be onto something here.

>tfw Mach Rider is connected to Lupin the Third
>Inspector Gadget makes an appearance in Lupin
>Mach Rider exists in the same lineage as MINEY CRAFTA

DEEPEST LORE

>>2103512
Gogo is Emperor Gestahl: Gestahl wants revenge against Kefka for turning on him. Second, Gestahl, although wanting this, knows he can't do it himself, but also knows he can't let out his identity to the heroes if he wants to join them. Third, the fall from the floating continent has messed up his memory of magic spells, as well as his brain in general, so now he can only do stuff that he can observe other people doing, including magic spells. And the reason he can't equip magicite is because the espers still don't trust him. Although the question of how he survived being kicked off the floating continent remains...

As for the thread I don't think anyone has found the mysterious graveyard duck yet.

>>2111746

I think thats missing a full stop .

Though "Duck to live longer" is good advice so I ould be wrong since this is Simons Quest after all

>>2111759

Man, this website is pure gold.

What happened in between Mega Man and Mega Man X.
>inb4 Zero killed everyone

>>2111746
In the DS game Retro Game Challenge (which is a localization of the first Game Center CX game), there is a duck NPC in Gaudia Quest that walks around near some graves. It's likely an allusion to the graveyard duck, though I wonder if that duck is also there in the Japanese version. Did the Japanese version of Simon's Quest have "Graveyard Duck" in it?

>>2112324
Scratch that, I read the following link, and it turns out it DID talk about a duck in both versions.

Titties are too small, tho

>>2111643
There's no existing unreleased Ura Zelda, no, but there was a lot of stuff planned that never saw the light of day; new dungeons, new items, lasting effects on the overworld (chopped signs would stay chopped, footprints in sand would never disappear), more realistic night/day, etc

Does the demo cart still exist? Will it ever be found? Does it contain actual game data or just odd bits of gameplay demo?

>>2112460
i'd like to know this too

>>2111643
>>2104830

The two rumors about Ura Zelda that a friend of mine used to tell me were that it was going to have the shovel from the 2D zeldas and a real-time clock or something.

I would love a shovel in a 3D Zelda game.

>>2113189
i'd love the pegasus boots

>>2106983
>"Stick the cart back in dingus."
why did I laugh

>>2112460
we may never know

>>2113189
>TFW digging in every possible tile of an area.
Imagine doing that shit in Hyrule Field.

>>2111643
>64DD, or Why Nintendo Shot Themselves in the Foot and is Responsible for PlayStation

>>2114740
So.... The Legend of Zelda: Fuck It It's Minecraft?

So did something actually happen in 2010.8.2?

>>2115394

Super Joe was dying.

>>2112460
I'm so happy Mother 3 was actually made. Most of the story remained similar from what I've heard. I would have loved to hear the music in n64 quality though.

>>2106983
Depending on hardware and situation it can kill the data in SRAM(save game) of the game.

>>2112460
looks shopped. where's this from anyway?

>>2115394
Too bad they released the new game in 2009, otherwise it would've been cool if they actually got the exact date.

>>2111724
>Mike Matei knows Inspector Gadget in real life
>Mike Matei was the Joker and AVGN was the Batman
>AVGN encountered Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger in person
>Lupin, Inspector Gadget, Batman, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Mach Rider are all interconnected

>>2107068
Probably the same but a Sonic Team with Naka around wouldn't allow NiGHTS to talk so it'd be a little better.

>>2111746
The headcanon is strong in this one

>>2115402
Too bad we got the butchered version with altered plot instead of the awesome in concept N64 game.

>>2117285
what was butchered?

It is depressing that this is still applicable to this kind of thread after all these years.

What is the deal with this guy? What's he after?

>>2117295
pretty sure the story was supposed to be darker, and there was supposed to be an extended ending.

that unused Claus boss fight still gives me chills

>>2103523
This is correct.

>>2111746
This is not.

>>2117358
He represents the game program itself, and the preset path it forces Gordon along. The G-Man interferes to keep Gordon on rails (all those locked doors etc.) and under the control of his employers (The game designers). Gordon is valuable to the G-Man because he is under the control of a player (and is therefore immortal due to quick-save/quick-load).

Vortigaunt dialogue:
>"We are a tapestry woven of Vortessence. It is the same for you if only you would see it." (Vortessence = code)
>"Could you but see the eyes inside your own, the minds in your mind, you would see how much we share." (=players)
>"Far distant eyes look out through yours."(=players)
>"For a brief time you joined with us. You are one. Between the worlds." (=between the games)
>"How many are there in you? Whose hopes and dreams do you encompass?" (ref. to players)
>"How often have we slipped our yoke, only to find it choking us again." (ref. to predefined roles in games/debugging process)
>"Your bright face obscures your darker mask." (ref. to players/thin layer of graphics over raw code)

Nihilanth dialogue:
>"Their slaves...we are their slaves...we are..." (could just be a reference to refer to the Combine)
>"You are man... he is not man... for you he waits... for you..." (i.e the G-Man is not a part of Gordon's world).

>>2116938
Deepest lore.

>>2117561
Makes some sense. Still, we'll probably never know for sure. Why does he stutter, for instance? IS the code buggy or something?

>>2117561
Actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for this.

>>2120015
Like all code, he isn't infallible. He's an approximate representation of a man - but he lacks the je ne sais quoi of how humans actually talk, hence the drawing out of certain sounds and his stilted delivery and vocabulary.

He's like what a machine would make if they were told to program a person.
