/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7945495
i personally enjoyed the gameboy lotcheck much more than the snes and n64 proto stuff, seeing prototype localizations that we never received and even games we thought were 100% lost like pokemon picross was incredible

>>7945495
No news? It would be nice if we received another set of files. Spaceworld Pokemon was the best, I was there for the original Unown-Hiroshima thread, bless these anons.

>>7945495
What an absolute fucking treasure trove this was.

>>7945495
Man, it's been a year already?
I remember checking these threads obsessively. It was way better than just a random proto being found, having access to the actual development files and folders is crazy
What's even crazier is that stuff like Koizumi? talking about testing 3D games with the FX before going on OOT and we actually found the freaking models for that. How crazy is that?
Also, does someone have the Costanza shitpost made with these models?

>>7945527
Yeah same. Though the Game Boy family is more my bread and butter anyways.

What was the oldest file in the gigaleak? I know some date from the late 80's.

>>7945904
I think the oldest stuff is related to Dragonfly for SNES, the early prototype of Pilotwings. This is from February 28 1989. It's also unedited lol.

>>7945836
I remember those (the models, not the shitpost). They looks jank as fuck, of course, but it's fun to see where these people got their start making 3D models.

>>7945965
Well yeah, they were meant to test 3D combat with the FX chip, so basically they weren't even meant as a concrete project, just the possible beginnings of one
But this test has basically layed out the foundation of OOT when he later joined the project IIRC
How crazy is that?

>>7945974
Pretty crazy. This type of content is my favourite. Seeing cut/early content really humanizes the developers. Every cut content thread there's some anon that's like "I don't care about shit that was cut because it was cut for being bad". They don't understand that it's not interesting because you wish green stickman Link was playable, it's interesting to be able to see the strings being pulled behind the scenes, how development progressed, etc. and speculate over what it might mean.

>>7945836
>having access to the actual development files and folders is crazy
I STILL have to pinch myself and remind myself I didn't dream saving a whole directory of Nintendo development folders to my desktop, with the person folders of developers whose names I can then recognize in the credits of some of my favorite games, where the files are dated back to the SNES era. And development tools! Actual tools they used in-house to create graphics! It's like holy hell, man, did we luck out or what? And it hurts when you realize it may never happen again and we never get answer to some of the biggest mysteries (e.g. Super Donkey).
>>7945904

>i used to have weird dreams and nightmares about Zelda Alttp secrets when i was young.

Goddamn, has it been a year already? Incredible.

>>7946827
Doesn't it drive you crazy that we may never get answers about that hole and so many other things in the leak? Knowing how the Japanese are about piracy, and considering how this information was obtained (illegally), I don't know if there's a chance of even a former employee who worked on LttP opening about the early map if asked.

>>7945992

Why would a Japanese programmer write fuck you in English and not use the Japanese term? Did he think he was being sneaky and no one would notice this way?

>>7949332
Why would he need to be sneaky? His friends probably laughed at it.

bump

>>7946827
You too, huh?

>>7949332
Why would a baby shitpost on 4chan?

>>7949332
Because the Japanese equivalent would be most likely to get him fired, while the English swear probably barely even registers as an inappropriate thing to say
This is the case for most other languages used in most places Mr.American

yo did anything from Earthbound 64 leak?

>>7951197
Nothing, I think.

>>7951197
All the N64 stuff came from EAD, so no.

>>7945495
Wow cool, I completely missed this last year. Does anyone know if Earthbound 64 leaked?

>>7951241

It feels like it leaked just 3 months ago instead of a year. Speaking of which, anyone know if there were any Earthbound 64 leaks?

>>7945495
Pretty cool sh**. Anyone know if any ERFBOUND SIXTY-FOUR contents got leaked?

>>7951272
>>7951241
>>7951197
The shit that leaked out of my ass would have been earth bound if I wasn't wearing pants

>>7951241
You faggots will never go away.

>>7951754
True, but you'd have to shit 64 times in order to appease the MOTHER 3 fags.

>>7952117
when I saw the mother 3 64 leak I shat 64 degrees and walked away

>>7952124
Nice.

>>7945987

late reply but this type of stuff is why the super mario world assets were easily one of my favorite parts of the leak, if only because before then all we had were old magazine screenshots and the stuff found in the burn-in test cart. suddenly this leak comes around and we suddenly find out that bowser does, in fact, have legs

Do you guys think something will leak on the anniversary?

>>7952356
It's possible, but I'm not going to get my hopes up like I did last Christmas.

>>7952235
Rude

>>7952356
I don't think there's anything left to leak. If there was they would have leaked it by now.

Can i get a qrd of what was found? By the time i found out and went to /vr/ it was like thread 22 and there was thousands of posts to read through

>>7953603
I don't know if anyone has a legit list, but I can list what I remember
- Two Yoshi's Island prototypes, most of the levels are not even complete and have rough drafts of what the gimmicks will be. Originally was a wizard baby instead of baby Mario
- Yoshi Island Alpha called "Donkey"
- Mario 64 assets and part of the source codes. We got the missing numbered levels in the game's debug level select with ressources, they're all test stages. We got Luigi, it was glorious. A scrapped enemy was restored from the code
- OOT assets and parts of the source. Some old proto enemies were found and restored. Found out that the Ikana Well and Spider House in MM was supposed to be in Ura Zelda. Unused boss rush. Unused SGI renders along with HQ versions of all of them. We also got the untextured (was probably also going to use a SGI render) of the old strange assumed to be temple of time picture that floated around. Found SGI of a early really small temple of time. We also have HQ renders of the manual stuff
- HQ renders of cart template, full picture of Star Fox 64 cart art (was previously never found) and such random assets
cont.

>>7953603

>>7953603
>>7953634 cont.

- Star Fox 64 uncompressed voice clips
- Full source of Dr.Mario 64 including a scrapped Japanese version
- Some random Animal Crossing stuff, very little research made?
- Full Wario Land 4 source I believe, unsure
- A crazy amount of development sprites for Super Mario World, maps, different Yoshi designs, Grandpa Yoshi, unused enemies, one being a walking canon that was reused in yoshi's island
- Also a crazy amount of ALTTP ressources. A deku tree looking tree, old maps
- I believe we have the full "git" (I forgot the old versioning software they used) repo of Starfox 2 including weird utilities
- Weird utilities like spriting utilities, a tool to make scrapped yoshi island sprites and the likes
- NES roms of some unreleased games I heard, like the full version of an Hockey Sim? In full English
- GB lotcheck, includes lost unreleased and unannounced localizations, Pokémon Picross. Tomato's Adventure GBC
- A shitload of Pokemon source code, nearly all of them, some even having all of the repo intact
- Broken repo? of Link's Awakening or just lots of different roms
- SGI test that turned into Mario Kart 64
- Mario Kart protos and alpha before it became Mario Kart
- Pilotwing Alpha assets (Dragonfly was it called?)
And many, many more stuff that I forget at this point

Unrelated, but recently some OOT beta assets were found in the overdump of a F-Zero proto

>>7953638
>>7953634
shame i never played yoshis island or mario 64 back then so the leaks dont mean a whole lot to me, but the OOT leaks sound interesting, I'll have to check out TCRF to see if they organized their new pages for the gigaleaks
>>7953639
>smw
oh this looks good

>>7953639
Small correction to
- Weird utilities like spriting utilities, a tool to make scrapped yoshi island sprites and the likes
I forgot a few details
It's some sort of weirdish map the tool was made for
Also, Yoshi Island had some beautiful stage select screen that was more animated. Some anon made some fantastic 1080p wallpaper out of it. I don't have it anymore
>>7953648
tcrf should have most things up by now
The pages should be under "pre-release" I believe, access it from the game's main pages

>>7954301
glad to see it again

the amount of content this had was increadible. There's still things that haven't gotten a deep dive yet, such as the yoshi's story rom.

Source? I don't believe you. Sounds like you OD'd on the Ura Zelda is not Master Quest kool-aid on tcrf and are trying to covertly slip in your wishful thinking.

Any third party N64 game source code/protos?

>>7958027
What do you even want me to source? You're already making sure I can't link the only place where the resources would be too (tcrf)

I maintain that there's still no proof of that. The Gerudo may have simply had a differing view of Din.

More info on this please

>>7958116
The story is known. Game was completely finished and Nintendo asked Alphadream if they could remake it for the new GBA system, and they did. It was called Gimmick Land on GBC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z_ZeSS5CgY
I didn't play and I also never played Tomato's Adventures (is it even translated?). You can probably get some mileage of checking the comments on youtube

>>7958047
>>7958056
Thanks but some of those rooms are different than in MM. This doesn't satisfy my doubt. And as for the boss rush? The link itself (to the first anon) says it was found among the mini map tabs. In other words, I'll reserve my doubt.

>>7958071
Is this what they are saying too?

>>7958093
Nobody asked you janny. I hope deleting my comment makes you feel big and strong.

>>7958127
/v/ is that way.

>>7958127
I'm sorry, what? What does my having an opposing viewpoint over the filename of unused content have to do with your post getting deleted? Nothing, that's what.

>>7958127
Of course they were retooled. It looks like Ura Zelda was pretty much completely cancelled in development, but further material needs to be gotten in the future (probably never again) as it was just what was part of iQue leak, so who knows
Otherwise, what part of "dungeon pieces that has various rooms and entrances, miniboss rooms, small puzzles and boss rooms from all dungeons" you don't understand?

>>7958127
>Thanks but some of those rooms are different than in MM.
Yes? They rejiggered them for Zelda Gaiden later on down the line. Shit happens all the time.

Highlight for me was the castlevania iv stuff

>>7958140
>>7958148
How can you tell it wasn't a demo made exclusively for testing the iQue version, which if I recall wasn't released until 2012.

>>7958180
Datestamps, silly.

>>7958180
Nintendo gave their iQue division all the raw material. Things from various points of development from SEVERAL games were there, not just Ocarina of Time. Early work in progress maps for Link to the Past, for example. And they still had their original datestamps on them. From the 80s and 90s, not the 00s or 10s.

>>7958126
Man the amount of SOUL in that spritework. But no, last time I checked there still isn’t an english translation for Tomato Adventure. I want one so bad because its pretty much the prototype for Superstar Saga

>>7958186
>>7958189
Then what I'm looking for are screenies of said datestamps. These dev kits probably didn't have an internal clock like consoles started having after PS2.

>>7958197
Dude literally just download the leaks yourself and look at the date stamps. File systems have had them for a million years now. You act like devs programmed on consoles and not computers

>>7953639
- Mario Kart protos and alpha before it became Mario Kart
assuming you're talking about mario kart 64 is there any stuff related to kamek?

>>7958367
no Kamek but there was a cut city level
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxF-9cm0nX4

>>7958379
very neat, but i can see why it was cut. too confusing and claustrophobic, i think mario kart ds did it better with the delfino square

>>7958093
There is a graphic for the map screen calling the dungeon Evil Goddess Din Statue instead of Spirit Temple. For whatever reason and Discord bullshit,
tcrf refuse to acknowledge it because we're the alt right (they were apprehensive about documenting the gigaleak altogether because it was leaked here). The graphic was posted here alongside other pause screen graphics in previous threads. Look for it in the archive sites, look up Evil Goddess Din statue and I'm sure you'll find it.

>>7953638
This is giving me Vice City flashbacks

>>7945951

I'm not in the know with these leaks ans stuff like that, were there any NES games "leaked"?
If so, is there a place I could get the roms or a list . Or were they not dumped?

>>7958163
There was CV4 stuff?

I wanna see Super Donkey transform into a real game.

>>7959005
It transformed into Yoshi's Island, what more do you want?

>>7959205
He probably means a game more closely relating to the leaked tech demo

>>7950870
Is said baby Japanese?

>>7959005
This, I want to know what Miyamoto was going for in that game, preferably before Miyamoto dies since he's an old man now

It seemed like a potential origin story for both Mario & Donkey Kong.

Such a shame that whatever other files had been grabbed back then have been lost.

If any of it survived it is now in the hands of some hoarder circle that has no intention of sharing it I guess.

>>7958379
Thanks for linking that, I forgot about it
>>7958367
I'm talking about Super Mario Kart. IIRC we have some protos, or at least some assets of generic drivers from before they shoved Mario into it
The official story about Kamek was that it was lost in a data crash wasn't it? I doubt Kamek is ever showing up in any form

>>7958921
There wasn't a rom lot check, but I heard there was? I dunno
All I know is that there's a complete version, in English, of an Hockey Sim we apparently just had a proto of before. Don't know anymore than that

>>7959205
Is this why Baby bowser calls Yoshi a Donkey?

>Such a shame that whatever other files had been grabbed back then have been lost.
What do you mean?

>>7945495
>those tree buildings in the forest
Was this a precursor concept for the Kokiri?

>>7961451
It could be a precursor to the Deku tree... the forest thieves seemed like precursors to the Kokiri.

>>7961451
I guess it's supposed to be those trees here.

>>7961526
>>7961543
Oh, interesting. It's cool seeing how far back certain ideas go. The Deku Tree felt like a sudden new idea in OoT, but clearly they'd been kicking around a similar concept for a long time.

>>7945495
I can tell this would have been 10x cooler than the trash we ended up with.

>>7961551
Check the TCRF article to get some quick ideas on just how much stuff was planned or thought about as early as ALTTP.

>>7958197
What is this.

>>7961551
This is probably the main inspiration for the Deku tree in both OoT and BoTW.

>>7950890

>>7961952
Would be kind of fitting for a downfall timeline w here the tree is rotted out and a labyrinth is constructed underground. Also Level 1.

>>7945495
Is that Dragon head supposed to represent where a dragon would be or something?

*Super Donkey
The implication given the presence of Mario and Donkey Kong sprites in it seemed to be that it was a prequel perhaps themed around Mario and Donkey Kong, though this is just speculation based on assets in the ROM and the name Super Donkey. Instead it became a prequel themed around Baby Mario and Yoshi.

>>7958379
So fucking creepy. Probably just intended as a test map though.

Also, For a long time I thought that since the GBA build of Metroid Dread got cancelled, Fusion would be where Samus's adventures would end, and the franchise put to rest. Not sure if Banjo Threeie ever got into development past concept art, though.

>>7961393
not everything was shared
there are 2.75 tb of data in the leak, with most of it still unreleased by le inner circle

Was there anything related to Randnet or the 64DD in the leaks?

>>7964589
>>7964557
Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope this is only the beginning...

>>7965791
I heard someone say more will be leaked this weekend but it was probably a shitpost

>>7964562
Pink Version would be Jigglypuff, considering the anime's canon by that time.

>>7964780
VB game leaked/dumped a few years ago. Easy to find. Overhead perspective bouncing ball game.

>>7966505
pink version was considered for development before the anime was even a thing
before the smashing success of pikachu, clefairy used to be considered as the potential mascot for the entire franchise

>>7949332
The way you would say in japanese sounds less cool/more burdensome
There is no good equivalent

>>7953603
Some stuff classified on https://tcrf.net/index.php?search=nintendo+leak&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Continuer
Some randomly on https://superdonkey.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list
Other places with better recap?

>>7966518
People mostly say that because Clefairy was Red's starter in the original manga. However, he gets a Pikachu in chapter 3 and from that point on Clefairy and Pikachu receive pretty much equal focus. Pikachu was always a very popular Pokemon.

>>7964562
All I want in life is resident evil 0 64..

>>7966850
I think the biggest indicator that it was meant to be Jigglypuff is that, when you transfer a Jigglypuff from gen 1, you get a completely useless held item called the Polkadot Bow (which is identical to the Pink Bow you can find in-game, just with a slightly different name). It was probably meant to be Jigglypuff's Light Ball equivalent.

>>7964562
>The Joy of Painting DS
What's the story here?

>>7966518
Jigglypuff was introduced as a regular character in the anime just a couple of months before Yellow version released. Given that the anime also did a Pokemon Snap tie-in episode a couple of episodes after Puff was introduced (although Pokemon Snap was horribly delayed), it's likely Jigglypuff was introduced into the anime specifically to promote Pink Version. But the game was scrapped after those episodes were already in production.

>>7951754
I haven't laughed this hard in god knows how long, and this joke fucking sucks. Fuck you man, i have tears in my eyes and it's your fault..

>>7967190
>Jigglypuff was introduced as a regular character in the anime just a couple of months before Yellow version released.
Shut up you faggot. There has been zero evidence for Jigglypuff, and Clefairy was favored at that time. Cope, seethe and dilate.

Holy shit. that alone is great. I didn't think this existed.

>>7968483
As it turns out, Nintendo archives a lot of shit from development periods.

>>7968548
For all the parts of Nintendo that I hate, I have to respect that, because quite a lot of developers used to save almost nothing at all, certainly not back in those days. A lot of the kind of stuff found wouldn't have been very financially valuable at all for future endeavors, yet it was preserved.

just how do they get these prototype from these auctions in japapn?

>>7968906
Not even news, ex-Retro guys talked about that years ago

>>7968932
Yeah I think it started when a Retro artist uploaded it onto his Artstation. It was also revealed that they were making a Boo-centric game and that's where the image of a boo crucified came from.

>>7969263
>image of a boo crucified
This is news to me. Please post it.

>>7945987
Yeah, for prototypes in general, it is really neat to see a game that you're used to seeing as a fully polished retail product during a state when it was still buggy and had placeholders etc. Sure, nowadays it is common to see messy, unfinished games, or even see shitty broken old games, but seeing a grade-B or grade-A title when it still had glitches right out in the open or when they were still experimenting with designs and layouts and whatnot really makes the game feel like a man-made product as opposed to the sanitized version you're used to.

>>7967171
I guess there was no story.

Nintendo should just release older stuff to the public. Not code, but history with their company, the work that went into stuff, etc.
Nintendo Power interviewing Shig isn't enough. There's no valid or logical reason to be so stuck-up. They don't have to be faggots like Sega, but being faggots like Nintendo is just bad.

>>7969290
Sadly it might not really be worth it for them. They'd probably have to get their legal department to clear whatever they release (who knows what stolen or whatever stuff might lurk within experimental and early shit), as well as marketing it in a way that won't result in mothers calling in and complaining that Billy is crying because the game keeps crashing if he pauses the game too many times or goes to a corrupted screen after completing level 3.

>>7969302
The company prints money these days. They are the premier company in vidya. The most history, the highest level of crazy shit. They can do it without ruining their name or jeopardizing their IP and rights.
There was never a reason not to release info on assets from SMW or LttP. What are they afraid of, a rom hacker hacking in old sprites and putting the hack on romhacking?
And don't gimme that "copyright protection" shit, Pixiv and Gelbooru are loaded down with Zelda and Peach and Link getting assfucked.

Sometimes japs are retarded.

>>7969314
I think he means that Nintendo might be worried that some of their unused concepts might get aped by other developers or wannabe (i.e. indie) developers. That might be a gray area as far as copyright is concerned, I don't know. Either way, I'm sure Nintendo themselves sometimes peruse unused assets and concepts from their old games for inspiration. SMW's Yoshi literally came from an unused idea that had been around since the original SMB.

>>7969318
They can curate what they release, but being a bit more open might have prevented people from wanting to hack them so badly.
Nintendo is infamous for being assholes at times about things, It comes off as cold and regressive. The official story on how OoT or Super Metroid were made, as an open discussion, are long-overdue. Not just "oho, i was in a park in Kyoto one day and saw children cutting dandelions with sticks and that why you cut grass in ALttP". "I used to climb around on rocks when I was a little shit so that's why rocks fall on you in the Death Mountain area in The Legend of Zelda, ooowooo!"
Yeah okay Shig. Now tell us about how you read Tolkien's books in college, and how you applied that experience to building a game world of your own. Don't care about the mountain trout/carp jumping and spitting at you when you were 4 years old. What's the REAL story behind taking a mushroom to grow larger?

>>7966518

>>7966518
He's still a bit of a side character. Reason he got more popular than Clefairy is that the manga author didn't make him raunchy like Clefairy and instead kept him "cute."

Very, VERY early on. Like, the first few months. Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Clefairy were a trinity as early as 1997. A LOT of Japanese merchandise from that era features all three.

This reminds me of the Toys That Made Us documentary episode on He-man and the Masters of the Universe, where one of the toy designers overheard the animation crew looking through the concepts and they comment something like "What are these guys on? BONG!". Meanwhile all the toy designers are boring middle-aged guys who like old comics and body building magazines.Thinking anyone who's creative is doing drugs is such a weak take.

Turns out Pokemon Pink version changes the starters to three pink pokemon meant to better appeal to girls; Clefairy, Jigglypuff, and Lickitung.

>>7969302
>(who knows what stolen or whatever stuff might lurk within experimental and early shit)
If it's just developmental stuff which wasn't in the final product, a lot of that should be just fine. A lot of devs use assets from other games as placeholders during development, for instance Blood, which used some of the monster from Doom. They were never meant for the final product, it wasn't even meant to be seen that way by anyone (the alpha was leaked by a computer tech), it was just until they had their own monster graphics done.

>>7969770
Oh, sure, for internal stuff all is fair. But those potential issues could come to light if they officially published it.

>>7954301
>Yoshi's Island had too much SOUL to fit on a single cartridge so they had to take some of it out for the final release

when the sm64 original luigi model came to light (which i don't personally care about) we had an endless stream of like, 70+ threads that hit reply limit, to the point that they exiled us here to avoid turning it into a general

Some planed names for Nintendo systems including the Multi Famicom, a Super NES with an RGB capable NES built in it (pallet is much more closer to the 2C02 but in RGB rather then the actual RGB PPUs).

And now were getting things like a Super NES with NES BC (Multi Famicom), A NES with 2.4 GHz wireless controllers (Air (or Wave) Famicom), the earliest version of the Super NES (Famicom Neo, since the Super NES started development after Super Mario Bros was completed) and what the code name to the NA/Pal NES (Global Famicom).

In Japan, there's a dedicated Nintendo museum of game archives they had.

However, you need to get accredited access from Nintendo. It's in a storage room with an AC maintaining about 23C to 24C of room temperature.One light in the corner is blinking, probably close to end of life and needs replacing.

The vault also contains some metal cabinets with files and documents, consisting of drafts and reports on what parts of the games need to be changed. They're stored pretty well, with hardly any creases found on the papers except in the corners.

You can go visit the vault during the weekdays at 9AM to 11AM and 2PM to 4PM Japan Time.

>>7974024
>there's a dedicated Nintendo museum
Hold on, I thought that was just in the planning stages. Is there already one and they're building another?

>>7967582
What evidence has there been for Clefairy, other than the pedantic "um, manga?", which was around years before the ideas for Yellow and Pink were conceived.

>>7969432
How does this favor Clefairy, in particular? Jigglypuff is also right there.

>>7969737
This bullshit or you serious? Source if so, please.

I have no skin in the game for Jigglypuff. I'm just genuinely curious about why there's a consensus for Clefairy being planned for Pink rather than Jigglypuff.

>>7974092
There has never been plains for Clefairy for Pokemon Pink, it has always been Jigglypuff.

>>7969950
>a never seen before nes hockey game

>>7974092
>This bullshit
Yeah. The build switch for Pink in the Yellow sources doesn't actually change anything. It's clear they dropped the idea super early on.

The SpaceWorld '97 leak will always be the best to me. I got the internet in early 1999 when I was 11, so I was exactly the age to have been swept up by Red/Blue and the speculation on Gold/Silver

>>7945495
why? because its not actually WORTH anything, other than "huh, neat" by some fucking autists, of which there are few.

its not the precious relic or grand feat you think it is.

>>7974971
>its not the precious relic or grand feat you think it is.
Nobody actually thinks that, though. You just think we do. It's fascinating, but not the second coming of christ or something.

>>7974981
its not even the dead sea scrolls, old notes of shakespeare, or lost blueprints of da vinci either.

>>7974984
Nobody said it was, except you.

>>7969950
I believe the written summary of the status of the data tapes indicated that a number of them were corrupted or otherwise couldn't be readily backed up. It also isn't clear if the hacker managed to download everything.
The argument against most of it having already been released is the randomness of this. Like, why those couple of random Yoshi's Island builds? You'd have thought there's either have been a whole lot more, like the full dev archive, or less (like maybe one or two release candidates). Instead it seems to be one random mid-development build, given the timing likely one of the last "rough sketch" builds before they started seriously nailing down the gameplay and level designs. Plus there are screenshots out there from a cartridge which has a slightly earlier build, so you would've thought that build, which was apparently put to a proto cart and sent out in some capacity, maybe to a foreign Nintendo branch, would've been in their internal tape archive.
>>7970034
Yeah, but I am sure Nintendo legal would want to review over things to make absolutely sure that nothing like the Capcom thing would happen. And given the age of some of the assets, they'd probably determine it would be too tricky to evaluate and probably not generate enough money for the effort.

>>7974997
(Sorry, there were two mid-dev builds; was there also one fairly late build?)

>>7974024
Why would you just go on the internet and lie like that?

>>7945495
apparently having a contrary opinion to the circle jerk isnt allowed. this is considered "trolling" apparently? i dont get it. my genuine answer to the question is that there arent enough people actually interested in this sort of stuff, and even for people that are interested in this stuff, its not really WORTH anything. its not a grand relic or feat. theres no real return for investment. all its really going to do is make a few people go "huh, neat" and maybe trifle fewer get excited. it wont have any grand meaning to that moment in history. it wont be any particularly interesting or relevant insight into anything special. thats why. there, i worded it nicer.

>>7975470
Sorry, but you still come off sounding liking a prick because you're on a retro video game board saying that one of the most critically acclaimed retro games of all time doesn't mean anything. LttP means a great deal to a lot of gamers and since any insights into its history *such as a playable early version with a different map and different gameplay features* would be interesting to said gamers, well, how is that not a grand relic?

>>7975470
If you can't understand why people are fascinated by the development of their favorite video games then you might be a retard.

>>7975470
Go back to Reddi t

>>7975470
So because this isn't the ark of the covenant that means it's not worth talking about at all? Just sweep it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist?
Come on, man.

>>7975556
because most people that value a lttp value a lttp, not a rough draft. similarly to how most gamers dont mod their games, they like and value the original. while some people are huge disney fans, owning an original animation cel isnt that big of a deal to most of them beyond "neat, i own it". hell, even a cel from some confirmed, unreleased short isnt that big of a deal. if they suddenly found an unreleased short in the disney vault, of course the most emotional fans would foam at the mouth, but even they would left with nothing after having watched it. "well that was neat i guess". unless the content was something that gave a strange new insight into disney himself, it wouldnt really MEAN anything to animation or disney as a whole. a rough draft of a lttp doesnt really offer anything to the understanding of game development as a whole that we didnt already know. what is anyone going to gain from it? a little blurb in a "did you know gaming" video? like confirm something like "did you know? octoroks were some of the first enemies added in the game's development", ok and? neat. it just doesnt mean much in the bigger picture.

yes, you guys have a cute hobby, but the return on investment is trivial and "historical value" and meaning isnt as big as you think it is, and your hobby isnt as popular as you think it is.

>>7976170
thats not what i said. i said thats why people havent spent money on it. the hobby isnt as popular as you think it is (less people that might HAVE that sort of disposable income), and even then, the return on investment is minimal. you guys can absolutely TALK about it, but i was answering the question as to why nobody has spent money as OP asked about.

>>7976183
That's exactly what you said. You said that in every single one of your posts. That no one is allowed to even talk about it because it's nothing more than a curiosity. All anyone's ever allowed to say about it "huh, neat."

>>7945974
I mean koizumi is nintendos mvp. This guy made the majoras mask story and subplots and was probably the reason for even more stuff during oot and shit. I mean he was so good that miyamoto that retard gave him mario instead of zelda. But koizumi wants to tell storys instead of making jump and runs. Directed 3d worlds and then never again because muh story bad.
Well he is now on the path to becoming the next ceo.
Still just one zelda game man. Even 2d, just one.

>>7976186
if thats all you got out of it, then you suck at reading comprehension. obviously the turbo-autists will sperg out and coom to every single thing there and missing/different from the final version with all manner of variations of "oh wow look at that!" "check THIS out!" and all that. no shit. but that all boils down to "huh, neat. wow." how loudly or repeatedly any individual says it is irrelevant. i dont have to write out a whole script for you, i simplified the core essence of the point.

i have never once said or implied that nobody can talk about it, or that they wouldnt talk about even if money was spent. what i've said is that your population is small, so the chance of finding someone with that kind of money is less than you realize, as well as the actual worth of the investment is less than you think it is. all you get is a cute moment with your buddies. its not the landmark in humanity you're making it out to be. its not a precious relic for history. while a handful of you guy might feel that way, the reality is that it isnt, and the return on that kind of investment is smaller than you think it is. that was my answer to OP's question of why people havent spent money on it. nowhere in there did say or imply that nobody can talk about it. its that kind of kneejerk reaction that flags a contrary opinion as "trolling" and some janny deletes posts for no reason. is this not a discussion board? is this not 4chan? get over yourself.

>>7976307
You must be fun at parties.

Koizumi's dad use to be Japan's Prime Minister as well, it's the only reason why Nintendo has any special freedoms that other Japanese companies don't have.

>>7945495
happy anniversary

>>7976359
Yes, he was the one who blocked it as he apposed the Olympics due to Covid-19.
If Koizumi wasn't at Nintendo they would of killed off their hardware team after BOTW and other then the few remaining 3DS games they had left they will be reserved on mobile gacha games like everyone else, but instead Koizumi single handily saved Japan's console market, strictly because Koizumi's dad use to be Japan's Prime Minister.

>>7971474
A lot of concept art is developed with the intention of pushing the limit. Rather than the developers unintentionally censoring themselves by playing it safe, they'll leave it up to the publisher on where to draw the line. Stuff like Crucified Boo can used as a negotiating chip with the publisher later on. If another aspect of the game is controversial (but not as controversial as Crucified Boo), you can "comprimise" and cut Boo. Warren Spector has talked about this in regards to Epic Mickey. They created concept art that they knew Disney wouldn't approve, but it ultimately gave them greater freedom than self censoring.

>>7977971
I see... you know, I never thought of it that way, but that does make a lot of sense of why concept art is often way more exciting than what actually ends up in the product.
