Cut content / Beta / Prototype

[Anonymous No.6352428]

I want to play these beta levels so badly it hurts. Same with beta Mario 64, Zelda 64, beta Sonic 1, beta Mother 3 and beta Conker. These games seemed more magical and beautiful in their beta stage, don't you think?

There are people that claim the officially released game still has secret content (that they say are keeping to themselves) and by they I mean one guy. Not sure if his webpage is still online, but when I looked over it a few years ago (or more) he made it clear that he had access to areas of the game that no one but him and Nintendo had seen and also he confirmed it, supposedly. He gave almost no clues and I can only recall one and that is there's a secret area in the switch palace with the sniffits and metal Mario.

Imagine if you were given the Zelda 64/Mario 64/Mother 3 beta and all it was is just 10 different maps that were all used in the trailers already, none of them are connected, and there's nothing to any of them except being bland and small, therefore your "dream" of playing the betas lasts an hour at most.
Just be glad with what games you have. There's no point obsessing over what it could've been because your imagination runs wild.

On the other hand, sometimes you get the Pokemon 2 proto from Spaceworld 97, where an entire world map and roster of 100 new Pokemon got scrapped and redesigned before release, and even though there's not much in the way of text or in-game events you can still explore the whole game map.

you dont seem to understand the value/appeal of prototypes and early development nobody is looking for a brand new playable game, cut content, however small, is really cool. that's why everyone freaked out when we found the OOT debug rom with 2 beta levels. even though they were small rooms seen in the trailer, being able to play cut content has an appeal not everyone is able to share.
anyway, even though some betas only have a llimited amount of content playable through normal means, there are plenty of enthusiastic people willing to "sting" everything back together. alot of betas have code and content in their roms, just not implemented (or not implemented correctly). an example of this is the same zelda beta rom i mentioned earlier. those 2 beta rooms existed in the code, but only one was playable due to a header issue. so, someone altered the code, gave it the right header, and released a fixed version of the rom with the extra beta room playable.
>>6352604
doubt it. there are people who spend disturbing amounts of time looking through raw code to find anything out of the ordinary. if there was something that big rest assured it would have been found if it was part of the commercial release
>>6352428
really, the appeal to me is less about "playing" a beta like i would a normal game. to me, the aspect of discovering something genuinely rare and unseen is akin to finding an ancient warrior's sword out in the middle of a field where nobody has been before, or finding an old castle buried in the jungle. just discovering something rare and unknown is what's cool to me. discovery.
>>6353043

[Anonymous No.6354824]

since the pokemon beta was leaked from spaceworld im still holding out hope that someone's gonna be able to snag a copy of mother 3. assemblergames recently closed down and i got a backup of it from someone there. in the backup was a secret forum called the 0th bit which is pretty much where the more trusted members would discuss purchases of betas that would immediately get shut down if given the attention on the regular forums. anyway, in one of the 0th bit threads was discussion about obtaining a copy of earthbound 64. either that or ura zelda, i dont remember, but nintendomad was in contact with a randnet employee before he passed. shame. i believe it.

In that version you had hook claws to hook around the queen's boss battle, but that was shit because you couldn't shoot while grappling as we all know.

I only won that game because the queen insta dies if you jump into her mouth.

For sure, I don't remember which developer said forging good E3 demos was one of their official milestones, everything you see in press-releases are carefully crafted promotional material which is the reason why beta content looks amazing most of the time but when we eventually get access to the prototype roms it looks like a barely put together skeleton.

If you ask me the boss was deleted because
1) it didn't look very fun
2) at first in the video it's unclear to the player what he has to do. At the end, we can see that he managed to jump onto the back of sphynx, further making it pointless and still showing the player has no idea what the fuck he's supposed to do

Pretty sure that site's page on it was a prank. To date, only one prototype cartridge of Rockman 4 has a publicly documented sale, and very little info was given on it.

I do wonder what it was like to work for big, popular gaming companies like Nintendo back then. Introducing new, exciting hardware, developing revolutionary games that take beloved franchises in exciting new directions, creating new franchises that would quickly explode into beloved cultural icons and remain so for years to come, and seeing people's curiosity and doubt quickly turn into heated excitement and anticipation as they try out your rough, early attempts at creating said things. Granted, most probably just felt worn out and looking forward to vacation like so many developers do today, but I guess the closest recent-ish thing that I kind of think of generating that same level of wonder is modern VR. Sure, I still love the new Zeldas and Marios and whatnot, but now they've become a given and whatever advancements made to their franchises won't ever reach the levels of transitioning to 3D and new stuff like Splatoon or ARMS will probably never reach the same widespread cultural relevancy as Pokemon.

Then again I'm over 30 and bitter, so no wonder I don't have that same sense of wonder.

"It was an open-plan office, but everybody had their own little cubicle. Depending on what projects they’re working on, they shift around. It is all open plan, in as much as you have rows of people sitting there working. But then where’s there a project going on, the core team would basically grab hold of these programmers and artists around them, and you’d get the Super Mario group expanding outwards from the centre."

I remember being young. Around 10 years old. My family and I went to cirtcuit city to pay off some crap. They had a little Nintendo 64 kiosk. I remember this one in particular had princess peach slide. There was a BIG red star before you started sliding. I remember being fixated on it so much. Mainly because I saw magazines talking about Mario 64 and none of them showed that. Even after my family got an N64 with Mario and I would go back, princess peach slide had that big red star. I never found it in the main game. I never knew why it was there. It is what stuck out the most. To this day, I don't know why it was there. I have NEVER found any information talking about it either.

The original Xbox is older now than the PS1 and N64 were when this board was created. 6th gen is retro now whether you like it or not.

[Anonymous No.6378054]

>>6377880
the age should probably be based on when the system was discontinued, rather than made
i'd say the xbox/ps2/gc are old enough really, i don't see anyone complaining about the dreamcast, despite being from the same generation, though that's probably because it was discontinued far sooner (even the ps1 was discontinued after the dreamcast)

Most of the DP content is on the GC disc anyway. It's just not playable.

[Anonymous No.6378103]

>>6378054
The age should based on the game itself, not the system, because game developers will make videogames based on what they like and they recently played, so videogames released in proximity are more likely to feel similar than videogames on them same platform.

But that won't happen because vr only wants to discuss their childhood and Nintendo.

Just anything? I have a few discs, but several of them are ports, like a TGS build of Virtua Cop 2, a JAMMA trade show build of Virtua Cop (1), a very late beta of Last Bronx, and a Japanese preview build of Winter Heat.

Original Rayman 2. I know a preview level of it exists as an unlockable in 3, but I want to see how the full game would've turned out. I bet there's still a lot of stuff we didn't see. Jumping into the background like like in the Oddworld games opens up a lot of potential for weird new mechanics.

Also this, some of you might not have seen it yet. This is the SNES prototype for Rayman 1. His design reminds me way more of Plok than the version we finally got. Originally it took place inside a computer system, and the main antagonist was a virus.

i think I've heard from some interview they were intended to be place holders from the beginning and when they demo-ed the game to miyamoto they forgot about them and had a big shock when they actually just showed to miyamoto how donkey kong was pulling out a realistic gun.
But apparently miyamoto just took a pen and paper and drew those wooden ones as a suggestion for a replacement for them.

interesting 100 stars already and the ui has been repositioned.
compared to other beta screens like >>6379852

the flat 100 makes me wonder if this was the early max stars they had at this point.

If you want retro to mean how old something is rather than whether it belongs to a specific time period, go make your own imageboard with those rules instead of shitting this one up because you can't get your way.
