Is there a good site that catalogs all the cool stuff that’s come from these leaks? I’m still not caught up on the previous ones.

https://twitter.com/lombTV/status/1417573123382288389?s=19 I could be wrong but this one feels like bullshit to me because I remember when the Wii was first officially revealed the controller didn't have a speaker, so it makes no sense to me that this "earlier prototype" would.

PM me if you want any links though

Especially since those buttons are just screen printing and software, their design could probably be “locked in” much later in the production process. This is the real prototype controller to mourn: EDIT: But I hold the N64 controller “wrong” and think the Duke was the pinnacle of controller design, so my opinions on the matter might be worthy of skepticism. EDIT 2: Lending more credence to an evolution of designs, the “green” controllers have an oblong power and player indicator lights, which the CG ad also has.

Not all of the leaked stuff is there, but The Cutting Room Floor is a good general resource for that kind of thing, comparisons between released versions, and unused assets left in games. Easy way to spend a few hours reading about random games you've never heard of.

The easiest way to find gigaleak stuff on TCRF is to do a search for "Internal Material".

Though a Turok 1 alpha from E3 1996 did leak several years back and I'm sure that's all there is of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHQPGYhGN6s drat never seen this before, that soundtrack is better than the one they released lol. then again, does sound like a dkc track, so maybe thats why they changed it.

I think that excel sheet was very much a "there are no bad ideas" meeting, because there are a lot of terrible ones. One was f. Not Nintendo F, just f. Short for Famicom, family, fantasy, and fun! I really wish Lethal Weapon had a description like some of the others do. I'll try to figure out how to share the whole thing later. Related to that, somebody found this email from Satoru Iwata that explains the reasoning behind the name Wii because apparently it wasn't super popular even internally. quote:Dear all

I just read the TCRF article on Link's Awakening. Is there anywhere reliable to download these prototype ROMs? There seems to be like 30 of them. I'd love to play the absolute earliest one!

That goes a long way to explaining the Wii U as well, especially the bit about apple and its iProducts. Wii Sports was great... pity there's nothing quite like it at the moment.

It will either crash to a black screen or make the graphics completely freak out and trap you on the first screen. On a decent emulator the game will crash like on the real hardware, but on a lot of official Nintendo releases it brings the emulator down with it. Notably, some revisions of the 3DS will break so hard that the 3DS won't work again until you pull the battery or let it completely deplete. Edit: and yes, as soon as I heard about it screwing up the 3DS I went and tried it immediately. Not even holding in the power button for several seconds did anything, had to pull the battery to shut it down. Dip Viscous fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jul 21, 2021 |

Here's some funny/brutal notes from a second round of interviews. I removed the candidate's names out of respect for privacy while I read this stranger's emails from 2005. (I can't tell if the shifts in first/third person are original or due to deepL translating weird but the repetition is original.) quote:[Name]

The first person comments appear to be things the interviewee said that were of particular note - reasons for applying for the job, statements, etc. Quote marks would probably help, but I dunno if that's a translation thing or an internal style thing that needs to be adhered to.
