Thread 11985469

Post prototypes you would want to see released.

>>11985469 (OP)
Earthbound 64.
Resident Evil 1.5

>>11985472
A fellow desirer of EarthBound 64. Based and itoipilled

Sonic X-treme

>>11985469 (OP)
>Emoji but with migraine

I wish there was a game like Red Alarm but with solid polygons instead of transparent wireframe. VB was more than powerful enough for it, just died before anyone bothered...

Donkey Kong Racing

>>11985472
1.5 was scrapped because it was shit

might be more of a homebrew scene if those new glassesless 3d monitors stop costing $1500+ USD...

>>11985719
lol are they mad because the buildings looked like buildings

Mother 64, Sonic X-treme, Jazz Jackrabbit 3D

>>11985591
I saw your thread earlier, is there any more info on this?

>>11985780
Realism ≠ inherently better

>>11985587
It wouldn't have been all that amazing and the relatively poor contrast would have made shit look mad muddy. Apparently it uses the same CPU as the PC-FX, just downclocked and with less RAM. Really I feel like the thing should have been pushing super scaler style games, could have sold the 3D aspect better. That said
>today I learned the V800 series CPU went on live as a low cost/low power general purpose CPU that's still in use today
neat

>>11985469 (OP)
I wish those unreleased early Famicom titles would resurface. Donkey Kong's Fun With Music, Bowling, the untitled space shooter, the untitled adventure game, I don't even care if they get publicly dumped or not, I just wanna know if they still exist.

>>11985901
None of those were on the master Famicom ROM list found in the gigaleaks, unfortunately.

That list DID give us names for other games that never released, like:
>"Famicom Mukashibanashi: Shin Onigashima" (Cartridge port of the FDS game, sorta like what happened to Zelda 1)
>"Heli-Fighter" (No data, my theory is that it's a conversion/sequel of "Heli-Fire", a pre-DK Nintendo arcade game)
>"Mario Bros. Classic" (Japanese NTSC version of PAL-exclusive release)
>"Parnuts" (No data, my speculation is that it was a Peanuts game since Nintendo had the license at the time)
>"Pazukkado" (No data, my hypothesis is that the title is meant to be "Bazooka", meaning that this was possibly a light gun game)
>"Sutte Hakkun" (Port of the also-unreleased Game Boy version of the SFC game)

Unironically that Pokemon-like game for the Virtual Boy about dragons

>>11986256
Does the data mention any dates? Maybe those weren't listed because they probably were developed alongside the system. I can hope but I'm not holding my breath.

Jungle Taitei N64

>>11985469 (OP)
I can hear the first levels' music track in my head whenever I see this game.

We did get a pre-release build of Super Castlevania IV on the gigaleak and thar was awesome, but still hoping we get the earlier build from the TV ad

Secret of Mana CD version
Final Fantasy N64
Castlevania 64 early version.

>>11986328
While I don't care about RE1.5 that much because the final RE2 is great and 1.5 looks like it was cancelled for good reasons, the N64 version of Zero is actually interesting because the final version is mediocre so the N64 version could have been better

I absolutely would have loved for Catroots to come out, or even for some actual gameplay to be shown. The circumstances surrounding it are so bizarre and eerie, and what we did see of the game looked really interesting.

>>11987408
It'd definitely have played better, all videos show that it plays exactly like RE2.
It was also more colourful.

I'm baffled at how long this game took to get made. How was it in dev for so long except because of incompetents holding their dicks in their hands?

>>11985469 (OP)
Kirby GCN is my single most wanted unreleased game of all time.

>>11985794
>Jazz Jackrabbit 3D
Pretty sure this got released, I remember playing around with it 25 years ago, I still have the title music in my playlist.

Sonic X-treme also has like 10 different builds released, on PC, on Saturn, all the assets, even a level editor.

Vertexer
StarCraft: Ghost
Castlevania 32X
Chakan sequel intended for the Dreamcast
Shenmue Saturn build
Quake 1 PS1 build (supposedly used the Saturn engine)

>>11989373
Seconding Kirby GCN.
On another note, Evolution: The World of Sacred Device was originally a Sega Saturn game, and while I expect the Saturn build to be close to the final, I am still curious. I think the dev diary also mentions an earlier battle system (it might've been real-time?), so I'm curious if there are any proof of concepts for that still exist.

>>11985780
No they're mad because they spent 10 grand on a shit unfinished build of the game

>>11985469 (OP)
Megaman Legends 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-p8PmomiGw

Kinda sucks you played as girls tho, you'd think they learned from tronne bonne that it wouldnt go well

>>11989972
Didn't Tronne get good reviews?

Also Legends 2 ended with Megaman trapped in space so initially playing as the girls trying to save him makes sense. I also assume they just wanted to show off the new character in the trailer, notice there was no gameplay of Roll either. There is no way you would not have played as Megaman in it. This was intended to be practically a pre-alpha prototype to ask for feedback for the full game anyway.

>>11989636
>StarCraft: Ghost
Didn't an Xbox build of this one leak a few years back?

>>11990120
>Didn't Tronne get good reviews?
it sold like shit and im convinced its the reason the legends series died

>>11990495
>it sold like shit
Terrible games can sell like crazy and amazing games can sell like shit, sales don't relate to quality of the game. I said that the game got good reviews.

>>11985807
>I saw your thread earlier, is there any more info on this?

Very little was known about the game publicly outside of Rare's offices...

>>11985469 (OP)
Valve's Team Fortress / TF2: Brotherhood of Arms
game was Battlefield in 1999

>>11985532
You already have a ton of leak protos and docs.
Nothing will change the fact the game was amounting up to be a giant pile of turd even if Naka forked over his engine.

This and that one other cat game Nintendo was working on.
I know Tezuka died at the time, but why didn't they just finish it in honor of him?

>>11986330
How is it Pokemon? Do you raise and battle monsters?

>>11992750
>This and that one other cat game Nintendo was working on
You mean CatRoots? (>>11987589)

>>11992760
Yup that's the one.

>>11985807
Apparently it wasn't a straightforward racing game but had animal raising elements and would have you switching mounts mid-race. No gameplay footage has ever surfaced unfortunately but there is leaked footage of the game on Xbox after it was reworked into Sabreman Stampede, which they honestly should've just finished up and released. Microsoft really had no idea of how to manage Rareware, complete waste of a talented studio.

>>11985469 (OP)
I got to play this with all 16 players.

There is a retro convention near me and one of the booths had 16 gameboys all hooked together through wizardry.

I played a few rounds, it was really technically impressive. Though gameplay wise it was a really simplified doom styled shooter.

>>11985780
Nobody is mad but those who insist that RE1.5 was some kind of classic that we missed out on. Same thing kinda happened to a lesser extent with RE4 and its prototype version but RE4 was simply too good to ever claim the alternative would've been better.

The best way to anger an RE1.5 idiot is to simply talk about how much you like RE2 and the design of that game.

>>11986330
this one by far... there's rumours a proto exists and a repromaker might get his hands on one this year

>>11985472
Fpbp, if your answers it's not EB64 what the fuck it's wrong with you

>>11987246
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Shigeru Miyamoto himself the director for this one?
If so, I wonder if this game's cancellation is the reason he never directed a (released) game after SM64...

On an unrelated note; do you think this game would've released westward had it come out, or would it have joined the ranks of Joy Mech Fight and Murasame Castle as a "cool Nintendo game that never left Japan"?

>>11994536
Nah, I am following RE1.5 since 1997, I've been on Bioflames forums for many years. And I have barely seen anyone who thinks that 1.5 was better. People mostly like some aspects of 1.5, like hand grenades and body armor. Anyone who says that they wish 1.5 was released instead of the final 2 is the minority. Most people want the most complete, near final 1.5 build to be made available to the public and that's it.

There is a certain type of retards who are angry at Capcom for saying that "1.5 was cancelled because it was too much like 1" though. Like who the fuck cares if it's true or not.

>>11985591
I'm pretty sure this game never got beyond the E3 teaser. We have zero gameplay or screenshots of this game whatsoever.

>>11985469 (OP)
Lufia 3
Mega Man Mania
Legends 3

>>11985469 (OP)
Landstalker remake for PSP.

>>11987589
>>11992760
What do you think this game would have even played like?

I personally have two theories:
>Power Stone knockoff with Tom & Jerry expies
>All-ages survival horror game where you play as a scared cat trying to get away from a sadistic mouse. Think RE3 but kid friendly.

>>11985469 (OP)
Hyperspace Delivery Boy! for Game Boy Advance.
A port of a Pocket PC game originally designed by Tom Hall and programmed by John Romero. The port was completed and previewed in media but eventually got cancelled.

>>11986460
Not as far as I'm aware, no.

The early prototype of Sonic 1 from the tokyo toy show or whatever.

>>11999912
Apparently it was just a very short, unplayable, automated demo so there wouldn't be much to it:
https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(Genesis)/1990_Tokyo_Toy_Show

>>11996181
Yes, it was being developed by the Super Mario 64 team.
And good question... Kimba is famous with boomers (literal ones), but who knows what Nintendo would have done with it.

>>11985901
I wonder if the untitled adventure game was Super Mario Bros. Would that make sense, timeline wise?

>>12001797
I believe the flyer that mentions it was from late 1983, early 1984 at the latest. IIRC Super Mario Bros started development in mid to late 1984. I wouldn't be surprised if the project morphed into it though because from my understanding, Mario wasn't supposed to be in the game very early on. Zelda shouldn't be off the table either because it apparently was farther along than SMB development wise.
