I wish the original Silicon Graphics model files existed for the various prerendered backgrounds and prerelease renders for early 3D games.
>>10909616The SMW2 with the Donkey Kong sprites rendered in SMW style
>>10909616>>Sonic Adventure Saturn buildWas this even a thing?I know they used Sonic R models in development or something, but idk if there was ever a functioning Saturn build
>Castlevania 32XThat was planned but nothing was ever actually done, so we'll never know anything about it.
>>10909637>Was this even a thing?It was, but it got scrapped early on in favor of developing for the Dreamcast. Sonic Jam's 3D world was made with the same engine.
>>10909616Shenmue 3/4/5 files (Shenmue on saturn was wip up to 10 chapters, 100gb)GTA 3/VC/SA/4 protosFinal Fantasy 13 Versus PS3 buildsFF15 pre-tabata shit
>>10909616I don't understand the obsession here. Most of these are just unfinished buggu games. They probably run horribly, or have terribly down graded graphics like Shenmue on Saturn. All you would get is a barely working game with fps issues that maybe has one working level for demo purposes. It would be very incomplete.
>>10909643now that you mention it the sonic adventure autodemo does have sonic jam vibes
>>10909616>Did I miss anything?Virtua Fighter 3 Saturn build
>>10909651It's not about getting a polished game but to see the ideas which never were
>>10909653And the Sky Chase levels in the final game use touched up Saturn models for Sonic and Tails
>>10909665damn I never realized that
Any of Nintendo's tech demos, such as Mario 128, would be cool. But I'm gonna assume every piece of code Nintendo has ever made is strictly and privately company property, and must never be released. Even non-existent curiosities like Metroid 64 would be very interesting, assuming literally any demo or pitch was written for that.
>>10909651I want to see things before the final version and removed stuff and whatnot. things that could have been interested me. A timeline we'll never know
GC Kirby is Adventure in Dreamland, and it uses the same models
>>109096161989 SMW build was in a Gigaleak.
>>10909836no it was not, only assetsalmost all backup tapes that contain shit like this were damaged and not even nintendo could dump those anymore like shown by the magnet tape dump logs in gigaleak
Wasn't Ocarina build already leaked?
Man EB64 is getting famousIt was mentioned in 3 threads today lol(Good sign)
How was Mario 64 worked during 1994?
>>10909779Metroid 64 was never developed, since they didn't know how to do the controls
>>10909779>>10909905Metroid 64? How bout this>https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Metroid_(Sega_pitch)
How come Zelda 3 one of the most famous SNES games, but nobody barely knows anything about its early versions?
>>10909616Everegrace PS1 build Persona 3 beta build SMT Nocturne tech demoGTA 3 original version
>>10909924a tech demo of nocturne would be textureless gray hallways
>>10909897thanks to the gigaleak we know the exact length of Mario 64's development, so a 1994 build should be out there somewherewould likely be extremely basic and probably wouldn't even work on consumer N64 hardware(which wasn't finalized until circa mid-1995)
>>10909919Am I going crazy or was there a time when ALttP used to be hailed as 'da greatest gaym of all time' instead of OoT? Normalfags nowadays don't talk about ALttP much in general, you only see it in 'best SNES games' lists and that's it
>>10909924>Everegrace PS1 buildI feel like it would be literally the same game with slightly worse textures. Sort of how there's Winback on the N64 but also the PS2
>>10909931and so we hurtle towards the grave
>>10909919Because Nintendo didn't appear to let publications heavily preview the game, or if they did, they didn't allow them to publish too much in the way of screenshots. That YOSSY ISLAND build that came from the hack was fairly well developed and presentable (albeit with many differences from the final game), but as far as I know, no magazine ever published screenshots which coincided with anything close to those earlier builds. Some companies would send out early build cartridges for magazines and even shops to demonstrate, which is how a lot of prototypes find their way into the wild, but it doesn't seem that Nintendo engaged as heavily in this practice as some other companies, or of they did, they were very strict about having things returned. There's not a lot of early Nintendo prototypes out there, and the ones which are somewhat notably prefinal seem to have originated from somebody close to Nintendo. Most other prototypes which appear to have been sent out of the company have either been final or 95%+ final.
>>10909616>Conker Twelve Tales buildWasn't that dumped a few years ago?
>>10910142No
>>10909630god fucking damnit ray traced + low rez textures gets me hard
Castelvania Sonia Belmont Dreamcast GameKameo (N64 build & Gamecube build)Perfect Dark Zero (Gamecube)\Eternal Darkness 64Advance wars 64we already got the two games I always wanted to play dumped (Riqa and Dinosar Planet), so I htink anything is possible.>>10910142no but the ex-owner of rare posted pics on twitter of him playing it from the prototpe cartridge
>>10909952Nintendo used to get fucked over by people copying their ideas and shitting out half baked knockoffs faster than Miyamoto's perfectionism would allow Nintendo to release their superior version. They learned to not overshare about what they had going on in the labs.
The build of Mario 64 with the spike on top of King Bob-omb's mountain.
>>10909616Soul Reaver alpha builds.
Zelda Wii U tech demo from E3 2011https://youtu.be/fxvM1A_uHuI
The Getaway PS3 version
For me it's Batman Returns NES lost driving stage
>>10909818Kirby GCN is actually 3* entirely different games. Return to Dream Land was the fourth attempt at a post-64 console Kirby. HAL could totally pull a Shantae Advance and release that when 'we all know' that became the DSi one.*actually most likely 2, the 3rd is believed to have been developed for Wii.
>>10909616Super Mario 64 2Capcom Fighting All StarsProject Dream SNESResident Evil 3.51999 Devil May Cry RE4 buildHalo Mac versionUra Zelda
>>10911373>Ura ZeldaWe have this, between the Master Quest that actually exists and the prototype MM maps made for "Ura" that ended up kicking off MM's development.
>>10909616The white city of Mega Man X
>>10909890So there was a beta version of F-Zero X that got dumped, but the cart itself was twice as large as F-Zero X is. That's because the cart was originally used for the Ocarina of Time Spaceworld demo and they just wrote over it with the F-Zero X beta. But that meant that half of the cart still had Ocarina of Time assets, code, and maps. It would be nice to have a complete demo someday.
>>10909616The Sunsoft Terminator game that became Journey to Silius
>>10909779Mario 128 would probably be a kickass screensaver. I also want the Wii to Wii U Pikmin transfer animation for the same thing
>>10910424Castlevania DC was leaked already, seems to have been the version that was sent to the press>>10911221There's nothing to be leaked, that short segment is all there is to it. Nintendo is never gonna make a Zelda game that doesn't have some sort of celshading going on ever
>>10911287Return to Dreamland/Star Allies and Forgotten Land, we're missing the pop-up book inspired one unless that somehow ties into Epic Yarn
>>10912038I doubt this will ever turn up. Doesn't seem like it was ever sent out to the press or used at tradeshows, the screenshots appear to just be things that Capcom sent out.
>>10912571Epic Yarn was a totally unrelated game that got the Starfox Adventures treatment, and had a known IP slapped on it to sell copies.
>>10912038I'm fairly certain that's just a mockup and not an actual prototype screenshot.
>>10909651>All you would get is a barely working game with fps issues that maybe has one working level for demo purposes. It would be very incomplete.The footage that exists out there of Shenmue on the Saturn takes in the entire first and second games, from the opening cutscene to the very end of Shenmue 2 in the mountains with Shenhua, with plenty of stuff in-between covering major events from both games (including wandering around the inside of buildings in Kowloon). And that's just what was officially released alongside Shenmue 2 as a bonus, so they'd have never have included anything beyond the end of Dreamcast Shenmue 2 even if it existed.Virtua Fighter 3 was also in development for the Saturn before being moved to the Dreamcast, but there's no footage of that. Just accounts from people who got to see it.
>>10911006That spike was probably replaced by the flag in the final build for the koopa race.
>>10914028But it's there when you fight King Bob-omb.
>>10912161Same game with different title/protag graphics though, yeah? It would be better but JTS is still a winner anyway.
>>10913958Possible, but effects are consistent with the later prototype PV
any of the strider pc engine proto builds, especially the supergrafx version, which led to a fake rumor about a dev commiting suicidethat port was in dev hell for almost 5 years
>>10913958There's a lot of early Chrono Trigger stuff that looks super interesting but I also suspect a lot of it was mockups.
>>10909616Sonic 3&K Michael Jackson and Team 41 tracks Demo TapesFuck Sony and MJ Estate
>>10915263No, that was an earlier build. You can see it in the V-Jump 1994 presentation.Crazy thing about Chrono Trigger is that there was an entirely different version that was apparently mostly complete before that which Sakaguchi entrusted to somebody else(because he was busy with other projects).Torishima didn’t like that version but he didn’t have the heart to put down the guy so he took the floppy and was on his way to showing it to Toriyama, and just as he was about to knock on Toriyama’s door Sakaguchi called him on his phone and told him ’’That stuff is no good, don’t show it to Toriyama. We will start over from scratch’’.This version I’m talking about is earlier than the earliest previews you can find on Chrono Compendium. It’s never been shown to the public.BTW speaking of Chrono Trigger... there was a 1996 tralier for Chrono Trigger 2 but who knows who has it anymore.This was the Project Noah/Proto-Xenogears stuff, before Sakaguchi gave them permission to drop it in favor of Xenogears presumably.

>>10915350Would love to see all those CT prototypes. That game went through major changes.
