There's very little from the modern era that would excite me if leaked but 80s/90s Nintendo? I'm all over that.

Nintendo doesn't owe anyone anything of this stuff but it would be incredibly cool if they released it, scrubbed of personal information. They routinely shoot themselves in their foot but releasing old stuff would be very cool.

Interestingly, Rare still made games for the GBA and DS up until 2008. I don't remember if Microsoft or Rare said anything but it was basically "Microsoft doesn't have a portable system so they don't care if Rare makes games for Nintendo's."

Phantasium posted:Secret of Mana is set the farthest forward in the timeline, and is after an apocalypse that happened after that world had modern technology. One of the dungeons is an old subway station, and those orbs are broadcasts from before the Mana Beast hosed poo poo up (I think one of them is a news broadcast right as it's happening?).  I've completely forgotten all this since the 20~ years I've played that game.

Vikar Jerome posted:didnt realize that, i always keep thinking about warios woods on the nes but then i forget they kept making games for that thing until the mid 90s for people whos parents wouldnt buy them a snes just yet (like myself) Wario's Woods is in fact the last NES game released in North America, on December 10th 1994. There was a PAL exclusive Lion King game in 1995, which is also wild.

Are there any remaining big known Holy Grails? OoT is huge, and the gigaleak revealed so much. A beta of SMRPG and basically any of the Final Fantasies, especially any work that was done on FF4 NES (which is very little, as I recall) or the 2D version of FF7 on the PlayStation are something I'd love to see but those are so incredibly unlikely.

I vaguely recall one of EGM or Gamepro having a piece about the Bonds being available, either they were wrong or it was an April Fool's.

I imagine a lot of the movie and TV show games being awful were a major contributor to the overall quality. It's all E.T.'s fault.

Randalor posted:I would disagree and say that the GBA translation of FF6 was better, but that was because it took the framework Ted Woolsey had done, but made the references a bit better fitting ("Son of a sandworm" rather than "Son of a submariner" for example). Woolsey did the best he could with his limited time and resources. A few errors here and there not withstanding, it's a very good translation. Whoever translated the GBA version knew that, and took everything into account. I remember fan translations saying "Phantom Beasts" or whatever the literal translation is, when Esper is a perfectly great name!

Going with full size sprites in battle and on the field really let the story come through in VI. Now you can have "fully" acted events in battle and on the field, instead of just text and maybe one unique animation. The entire game is coded with hope and bubblegum but they still nailed it. The most amazing part is that they finished the game early and said "Hey what if Kefka won instead?" and made the World of Ruin.

Then you get into things like Yoshi's Island and the SuperFX2 that can take those sprites and scale/rotate/stretch them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56atjNsayMg I really wish we had had another generation of primarily 2D graphics to really refine a lot of things. Edit: It annoys me how many people use filters and widescreen on these kinds of games when recording video. It's fine if you want to play it like that but I'd prefer having them as close to the originals as possible when looking at things historically.

https://gamehistory.org/earthbound-script-files/ This is related enough to post here. The guy who localized Earthbound found some old floppies that contained scripts and such for the game, and some people were able to recover the data. Edit: Here's a link to Mato's article.

Gaius Marius posted:A controller where you can only reasonably access 2/3 of the buttons at once is dumb Sorry, are you trying to use the left and middle prongs at the same time? That's not how the controller works. The middle prong has a button on the bottom that replaces the L button when using the stick. Dewgy posted:Yeah this complaint has always reeked of “tell me you’ve never used the N64 controller without telling me you never used the N64 controller”. The WCW/WWF AKI games use the D-pad for movement and the stick for Taunting and your finisher  You wouldn't be using taunts unless your opponent is down or far away and you only had to tap the stick for your finisher while already grappling someone so it was generally never a problem for anyone I played with.

Gamepro was always 4th tier. Nintendo Power -> EGM -> Whatever random magazine was at the newsstand -> Gamepro. The EGMs could get really thick too.

Randalor posted:I dunno, I kind of like the chonky floppies the 64DD used. It was a good idea for releasing expansion content for games. I'm fine with the 64 using cartridges and having a save system that doesn't require memory cards. http://micro-64.com/database/gamesave.shtml There were quite a lot of games that required a memory card.

TVs Ian posted:I mostly wonder if there was any real point to it other than games with editors. At the time it felt like having a ton of save space might do some cool stuff - I remember a possible example was of a game had a cave with destroyable crystals, it would save exactly which ones were broken, and possibly have them grow back over time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-vusWL2cx4&t=239s I never played Excitebike 64 but this was pretty neat.

I gotta say, I really miss Valve's games. Half-Life, Portal, especially Left 4 Dead, all amazing games and sequels. My gaming group would kill for L4D3. Back 4 Blood was garbage and really deflated our hopes.

Coffee Jones posted:Burger Becky brings this up in her talks on the SNES games she’d developed for Interplay. Always a squeeze to develop on smaller size roms and to use slowroms instead of fastrom at the cost of the infamously famous SNES slowdown. Depends on the size of the sprites probably. No way they were getting the same kind of density as Diablo 2 (or probably even 1) but Boktai was isometric. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWppMbFWSRw
