Lookit this scrub not abusing the gently caress out of the car corner glitch. Game rules though. I complete the full circuit of the first game at least a few times a year.

Here’s this weird untextured Blargg  https://twitter.com/cynfulentity/status/1291801293091201025?s=20 But if comparing betas to release versions isn’t your bag, I think the shows over. Coffee Jones fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Aug 9, 2020 |

Who knows when/if it will get released.

How big is the file size of what got leaked? Is it 2TB in total, or 2TB left to be leaked?

I don't recall Samus spontaneously growing a mustache. I'm guessing that after Donkey Kong Country was in the works they were just trying to figure out what new direction to take the game and experimented with a few different ideas, including swapping the dude out for Mario.

Nah. As a designer today, my WIP files are a mess of old junk that gets cleaned up and deleted in the final version.

There wasn’t great version control back then. The most likely scenario is that the code for that version of the game doesn’t exist anymore as it evolved to be SMW. It is possible that a prototype cart exists still but it could have likely been overwritten as well.

They probably ditched the design before anything playable was made. My understanding is that this leak is a dump of a CVS server, so in addition to being a huge mess of files, it's also the data to go back and look at every revision of each file as it was checked in during development.

The prototype definitely exists because Howard Phillips has said he has played it. It would suck so bad if it was actually written over though.

Data storage was a serious premium up until the early 2000's. A lot of source code is just gone because it would've been too bankruptingly expensive to store it all properly even for Nintendo. Also isn't it Nintendo that kept paper copies of their old source code? That's where you'd find those builds, if so.

There's also a good chance that even if SMW's source code -was- originally backed up along with the other stuff we're seeing now, a bunch of the tapes were damaged and unreadable when they were dumped and it could just be lost to time. Or it's in the leak and nobody has found it yet.

Those prototypes were flashed onto rewritable carts so the chances that the cart Howard Philips played still has the same prototype rom burned onto it are incredibly slim. IIRC Phil Sandhop, the guy in charge of the Earthbound Beginnings localization, saw photos of the cart that was dumped as Earthbound Zero and confirmed that those internal use prototype carts were repurposed constantly.

https://twitter.com/scawful/status/1292448897017753601 clam shell in the center of kakariko. some are wondering if that was the OG location of the moon pearl? they found the clam shell assets awhile ago but thought it might be for a cut zora king or something but looks like it was meant to be a fountain in kakariko.

Vikar Jerome posted:https://twitter.com/scawful/status/1292448897017753601 Very cool. I wonder how the artists who made these unused sprites felt about their work being cut, because a lot of these leaked assets look very polished so I assume a lot of effort went into making them. You think a tired & overworked Japanese sprite artist got to work one Monday morning in 1990 and found a memo on his desk that read "Miyamoto wants a duck statue in the village, get rid of the giant clamshell"?
