pic related and versus xiii, but neither of them are retro.

I don't know why but I've always had a fascination with these king of scenes. something about the darkness combined with vivid green spots illuminated by bright light is so comfy, like being in a parking lot late at night or in a dim mall before closing time. just tell me you wouldnt want to sit down on that patch of grass between the two trees in the middle and smoke a cigarette while the stars pass by.

>>7256250
wtf what happened to this, looks awesome.

While it probably wouldn't have been the most acclaimed or influential among unreleased games had it actually come out, there's no other title I wish was released more than Castlevania Resurrection. I have this strong belief that very little harm could ever come from it: had it sucked, Konami would have never trusted foreigners with the IP again, and we wouldn't get the franchise-killing Lords of Shadow games; had it been acclaimed, the series would have been able to venture into quality 3D instalments while still probably getting the great portable metroidvanias. Worst outcome would most likely be if it had turned out mediocre, then Castlevania might have been in the same or worse shape it is in our timeline since Konami would possibly either try another LoS or pull the plug on the series earlier.

I know it's basically fanfiction and there's the butterfly effect and shit, but a man can dream...

Just found out today that a port of Wing Commander 2 by Origin themselves was completed and sent to Japan but never released because it was already late 1994 and they didn't think a niche PC game would sell well enough by then in console to justify the investment of using a chip for the extra performance demanded

>>7256019

More Bomberman 64.

>>7255496
Almost all of those stages are in the final game, though

>>7256563
It was scrapped and remade multiple times until it eventually became Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Adventure Wii.
Parts of it were probably used in the 3DS games and the 4 partner mechanic eventually came back in Star Allies.

What is in this picture that is not in the final game? The hud is the only thing changed.

HEY MODS

YOU WANT TO NOT BE LAZY NIGGERS

NOT RETRO

Not to be a killjoy, but...
>>7255496
The oldschool battle stage is in like every other game and doesn't work well with the 3D gameplay, and why the fritz is there a Dig Dug stage, Hudson could've gotten in trouble.
>>7255507
You have this, you can romhack Star fox 2 if you want the exaggerrated reactions back for meme points, the tools are available.
>>7256019
They kept downsizing the game after the Disk Drive failed and the final N64 cartridge release probably wouldn't have been too much different from how the final GBA version turned out content-wise.
>>7256558
Became those talking trees in the Dark World.
>>7257671
Exactly, Kumazaki is still a dirty hack but people forgot just how lost HAL was after losing both Shimomura and Sakurai as creative leads.
>>7258105
We literally have this game too, the models were swapped to actually very good ones and some dialog was changed to suit it too, the final boss/twist of the N64 version was never thought up ahead of time.
Can we get some lost games worth playing here, like I dunno, Final Fantasy IV Famicom.

>>7258898
Final Fantasy IV Famicom
Probably became a spinoff like how Chrono Break became Final Fantasy Dimension II.

Yes.

>>7255496
I don't know about you, but I feel sorry for the Virtual Boy games that could've been SOMETHING. Bound High proto was more fun than Chalvo 55. That actual Mario Land 3 where Wario returned as the villain deserved a better fate than the minigame being chopped off as Mario Clash. And the Bomberman game, barely looked like Bomberman World PlayStation. Looks like it would have tried to expand the Bagular lore instead of the weird Wars/World timeloop thing. Like the Wario Land game, these all had potential to be gems. Just too bad the devs basically scrapped all of it when abandoning ship, Wario especially could've benefitted from having one more game as antagonist in the long run.
I'd also say Bomberman 3DS for looking like The Second Coming but I know, "not retro".

>>7259126
The character's basic concepts were recycled for Sirius in Bomberman 64 and God-Header in Bomberman World, at least.

>>7256250
kirby on gamecube would have been hype

Ultimate Journey for NES

>>7256937
You just don't like that they had opinions that hurt your feelings. Doesn't make them NPCs. They're right btw.

Still salty this got canceled.

I'm more into things that were left in the game but with no explanation. I'd love to know what this was for. Or whatever the original plan was for the hatch in SOTN that eventually became the underground garden on the Saturn.

>>7259286
If I had to guess, that would've been the door to Alternate Stage 5.

>>7259286

>>7259253

Really wanted to play the 3D point and click Star Trek game that Interplay had planned. Watched the trailer for it too many times to count on the Atomic Bomberman cd

>>7259326
Well I get why they changed it, Stage 5' definitely feels like it should be a post-game bonus. The Dracula X Chronicles version makes it more of a normal levels, missing the point.

>>7256039
NOT RETRO

>>7259517
What am I looking at?

>>7259517

>chocobo racing 3d
>buciyo 5
>gold star mountain
>space agency

>knight wars

>>7256563
A lot of its ideas got gutted and repurposed for other Kirby games. That robot that fires the giant laser actually appears in Return to Dreamland and Mass Attack as a boss character, and the concept of having the enemies become your friends allowing for co-op was used in Star Allies. Hopefully we get to see Kirby GC in full someday. Those big N64 leaks this last July give me hope that they're archived somewhere.

>>7258898
>GUYS I DONT CARE WHAT YOU WANT TALK ABOUT THE CUT CONTENT I WANT TO SEE

>>7259126
>That actual Mario Land 3 where Wario returned as the villain
Source?

>>7255496
Is the middle picture trying to be Dig Dug?

>>7259938

>>7259194
The main villain (being a rogue Bagular/Bugler/whatever baddie) seems more like a predecessor to Devil Bomber from GB 3/Hero and Atomic Bomber from Neo than Sirius.

>>7259286
>Or whatever the original plan was for the hatch in SOTN that eventually became the underground garden on the Saturn.
Here's a (crude) colorcoded idea on what may have happened here.

>>7256019

Looks soooo bad... 64-bit a shit

>>7257356
One of these days I'm going to track down my tattered copy of a Nintendo Power with a Zelda 64 preview. I remember Link still having brown sleeves and there was talk of implementing a raft and finding a horse on the field instead of through a quest.

pre-9/11 mgs2

>>7255496
I still lie awake at night over this.

>>7260663
What was that exactly.

I wish they made a proper Blackthorne for the Genesis instead of the 32X. It's way better on the SNES. I will never play the 32X version even with emulation - looks terrible.

To be honest, the plot from the design doc was dumb.
>>7255887
I know what you feel my man.
>>7255523
I doubt it would have improved the game much.

>>7255496
Super Mario 64 2/Super Mario 128. I hope Nintendo at least keep a copy of 1999 demo.

>>7260675
damn i didn't even know this existed. DF2 is my favorite game of all time. i wish i could un-learn this
RIP lucasarts even though they kinda fell off at the end anyway

>>7260742
at the end of MGS2 it jumps from Big Shell to the top of some random building in new york, where you fight liquid snake. there was supposed to be a sequence in between where Arsenal Gear takes off and lands on NYC

I can relate to this.

hot rod rebels, the cancelled sequel to rush 2049 for sure, but the sonic 1 tts beta is a close second
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RccMcK--0dY

>>7255504
I see this get posted often, been curious of the series. What got cut here?

>>7255496
Lobo was suppose to come out in 2005 for the Xbox and PS2. I've been desperately wanting that game to release. Sucks that it never did.

>>7260271
Honestly, the new areas could work with some proper tought.

My ultimate edition of SOTN would be:

>Main Core version being the PS1 of course
>Proper sound effects from the PS1 version with no auditory fuckery like in the saturn or PSP
>Choose between the 2 english dubs (ps1-psp) with their respective dubtitles and japanese audio with the Gemini retranslation, with Gemini's more compact font (also affects the names items and bestiary)
>Sega Saturn proper loopable tracks
>Proper Experience mode for Richter and Maria and allow them to use items, like potions, throwable items like the bombs and boomerangs, etc.
>Allow the Heart and HP potions to increase their HP bar and Heart Ratio to make them not useless
>Sllow them to somehow bypass the spikes
>Switchable maria from Saturn and PSP versions, plus alternate clothes for richter
>Sprint boots for alucard
>Free teleport selection like in the later games
>Saturn's dope Sound Test menu
>The 2 areas from sega saturn fully reworked and expanded
>2 additional areas, Spiritual Auditorium (with a dinner, a wallz dance room and a theather) and Temptational Reserve

>>7261480
Speaking of Sonic, I'm surprised Sonic Xtreme wasn't mentioned yet.
>Oh, the Saturn game!
No, the post-console cancellation exclusive Windows version that Sega's PC division turned down in favor of yet another port that became basically unplayable in a few years.

>>7261490
That move looks and functions completely differently in the finished game. Instead of the cool ice sword falling in from the top of the screen, the guy just shoots a snowflake out. Supposedly the move was way too good during the location tests, to the point where they had to just entirely rework it.

Conker's Quest/Twelve Tales, the game that eventually became bad fur day. To me this game looks a lot more interesting than BFD and a lot of it seemed to be finished too. For full footage check out the links.

I don't mean design in Sirius' case. I'm referring more to the mentioned 'mysterious' nature, 'friend or foe' angle, and perceived 'sadness in his eyes.'

I care how much this clashes with Panel de Pon...

>>7262661
...Tetris Attack with KILLER INSTINCT instead of Yoshi sounds absolutely hilarious.

>>7262661
>>7262663
>tetris ATTACK

>>7261606
Where the fuck has this come from? Source? I have never seen this map in all my days, and G**gle comes up with nothing?

>>7263254
I think anon made it himself (p.s. there's a typo in Temptational Reserve on the map).
This anon wouldn't happen to be doing anything with this idea, would he?

>>7262663
>>7262661
What kind of crack were they smokin?

SONIC X-TREME!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck Naka asshole so up his own ass with NiGHTS he couldnt help use the engine to finish it, fuck Sega of Japan for being such insecure assholes about it and fuck Sega of America/Sega's PC Division for not doing it as a PC exclusive title in the US as a last option, supposedly because they only did "Saturn ports to PC", which was completely untrue

>>7261606
I'd love if Richter and Maria had a proper story mode (likely never ever because Japs are anal about voice actors but can just mute the dialog):
Richter
>First scene takes control of RONDO MARIA as she kicks Dracula's ass instead of Richter.
>The rest of the game takes place in timeline where Maria beat Dracula in Rondo instead of Richter - she went missing (the target of Shaft's possession as lord of Castlevania because she was the one who did Drac in) and Richter searches for her in the castle, meaning Maria is the first castle boss and Alucard takes NPC Maria's place (no homo).
Maria
>First half is all about what she's been doing while Alucard was running around the castle, meeting him several times.
>First castle's ending destination is at the center room: player has the option to hand over the Holy Glasses and trust Alucard (ending the game early to be continued in Alucard's playthrough) OR fight him, wherein beating him gives Maria the conviction to encounter Richter with the glasses herself into a full-on what-if scenario.

>>7263693
Beta Whomp is cute.

>>7255496
Propeller Arena !
Although the game is playable, I really wanted to play it online :(

>>7263693
Bottom enemy: the "soulless remake" version looks more like the "cool beta" version than the "soulful original" version.

>>7264257
no it doesnt. overall face shape is the same as n64, they just censored the yellow teeth because brits were offended

>>7264271
>more pointed eyebrows
>smaller mouth corners

>>7256903
starmen.net is the reason why it’s both expensive and shilled as an underrated game

>>7265493
it's because of smash brothers you fucking idiot

>>7255496
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this. Still waiting for a ROM dump for this.

>>7265468
Now that looks better than the piece of shit we got.

>>7256039
I'm still butthurt too, but take this to /v/ dude.

now i'm sad about N64 failure.

Was this the first bullshot in games. No way the gamecube could have run this.

I would love to be able to play Earthbound 64, though that may be something that a lot of people want to play.

Well if Rare Replay is any indication they not only have the data but also all the other Nintendo related beta builds and shit that are all completely playable.

Gonna post this here, in the hopes that someone can tell me if they heard of this as well. Or if they have any info on this game.
In an old SCORE Czech Magazine, there's a mention of a PC Game based on the Neal Stephenson Novel, Snow Crash. Pic related. Issue 35, dated 1996

>>7264014
Richter and Maria following Alucard into the inverted castle would have helped that part of the game a ton.

>>7269338
Yes, but on the other hand, it makes sense why Richter didn't run into the other castle with Alucard: he needed to heal mentally and emotionally after being under Shaft's control for so long. That's why it's so silly when Richter and Maria just stand there for a while in the PSP/PS4 version as NPCs, since Maria is supposed to be in sis/nurse instinct mode and help Richter out of there immediately, which is better implied on PS1/Sat. Maybe have them show up one more time when you collect the last of Dracula's relics to direct you to the final battle, but then that begs the question why didn't they just join Alucard. Alternatively, this can be pseudo-fixed if Annette made a cameo when Richter is rescued so you can write him off as being somewhere with another character, but that only accounts for Maria.

>>7256903

not even close.

>>7269463
Whatever makes the second castle more interesting. It was obviously a bit of an afterthought they didn't intend to do a lot of work on. Hell, half the castle uses the same music track. But the story stops cold and its just a treasure hunt.

does anybody remember that RPG that's probably stuck in development hell that featured a whale with landmass on it? I remember it floating above the ocean? I remember it was from a developer website after they got done producing some RPG.

Catroots, a unique tom and jerry-esque game that was cancelled due to the n64 being near the end of its lifespan

i was actually looking forward to this when i was a kid then suddenly no news came of it but it looks really comfy, Bad fur day just reminds me of early 00s cancerous low iq gross out comedy.

Why did they even cancel it?

>>7269463
>[...] that only accounts for Maria.
Fine by me, these two needed more development together before they fukt and spawned the Lecarde family line.
Oh hey, Castlevania Resurrection on Dreamcast probably would've saved Sonia Belmont from being on IGA's shitcan list.

>>7270394

That's vey nice.

>>7255496
i always wanted to play the original versions of HL2, MGS2, RE4 & OOT.

they sound like much more interesting games than what we got.

For me the holy grail would be playing Looking Glass Games / Irrational Games' Deep Cover. It would've been a perfect mix of Thief's sneaking and System Shock 2's interface and rpg elements with GoldenEye's world building, at least in my imagination.

>>7271915
Canned because rare was sick of getting so many people complaining that there was yet another kiddie platformer on the market. In retrospect it does make sense, but making BFD was the wrong approach to doing things imo.

>>7255496

>>7269315
If that's the case then I hope they eventually get around to releasing some of it. It sucks this and all their other unreleased content is just stuck in a vault.

>>7261078
Super mario 128 was just a tech demo. Some aspects were recycled into pikmin

>>7270394

Well then

>>7272296
I still don't get if the Resurrection devs were planning a nude code to outdo Lara Croft (official concept art).

>>7276946
That was probably just a body study

>>7274194

The only correct answer is Marble Madness II:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cMKeOG2EBY


Fuck you Atari. Pit Fighter II was absolute dogshit, let alone a sufficient reason to cancel a real game like Marble Madness II

>>7274194
Can't tell if the blue knight is supposed to be a chick with huge knockers or if its a guy with a really puffy chest muscles.

>>7255518
I really really wanted to play Guardians:Agents of Justice. But apparently Microprose ran into problems with it, decided the graphics were too dated, and cancelled it for X-com Alliance.

To this day the only superhero strategy game we've got has been Freedom Force.

>>7275534
Super Mario 128 was an real game at one point in the early 2000s. It was in development for 7 years before being canceled for Galaxy.

>>7255496
game news could be hard for a kid to get especially if you didn't have a corner store with game magazines but once in a while I went with my parents to the super market and managed to read the mags. I was floored when I saw FF7 for N64 and that's when I decided to save up to buy and N64 and FF7. Unfortunately for me, it took me a long time to find out that they had moved over to PS1. That was a sad day.
