One of the most incredible happenings in video game history. We were exposed to so much prototype stuff.
What was your favorite piece? For me it was the Super Castlevania IV proto, mainly for the different music arrangements and the "new" track for stage 2.

I thought the Yoshi's Island related content was the most interesting.
It really put into perspective how much work went into that game, the egg shooting in early builds plays terribly compared to what we got. The world map we never got was also awesome to see.

there's so much i would've preferred was taken. earthbound 64 and the yoshi's story beta always looked fascinating to me. oh well! nintendo's probably locked down their shit even more now and we're never going to get it. at least mirror house cornflakes and super donkey were cool

The only one that happened which literally anyone gave a single shit about was the DNF leak....Mostly because that's the only unreleased game with an actual history behind it and not just some autists spamming "WHAT IF" threads about canceled titles like they do for Earthbound 64.

Yeah, it's a shame the hacker was an autist who mostly cared about Pokemon and IQue shit.

He also wasted most of the time he had access(March-May 2018) doing other shit. If you look up his aliases you can find him taking part in competitions and spending countless hours getting homebrew running on the iQue Player, among other things.

Finally finding Luigi, being there when he was being restored and then the weird shit where the L is Real bullshit happened to "work" with the leak was crazy
There's still things to find probably, and stuff that nearly nobody cares to look into. We got the Wario Land 4, Dr.Mario 64 and Animal Forest source code, I believe. No one is looking into them other than the fact they've managed to compile them

Yeah, one of the super donkey protos was just found to have a ton of early lttp assets in it. They're still going through it.

Partial code for WL4 and AF. Full source for Dr. Mario 64.

Coolest thing about the Gigaleak were the uncompressed sound samples that allowed people to remaster some SNES games' soundtracks

It's scattered all over the place, unfortunately.

picrel is some recent discovery by @Dark_Linkael on Twitter of some corrupted/overwritten LTTP data found in the Super Donkey rom. They found a bunch of other shit, too. But it's all over his Twitter and in FRENCH(*vomits*).
