The Nintendo leak saga continues: biggest Nintendo leak in history, full source code / design files for Wii released online
As you may be aware, in the last few weeks in 4chan multiple Nintendo-related old things have been leaking, starting with old Pokémon debug ROMs and source code, then most recent 3DS debug ROMs, then keys for all consoles up until the DSi and now the biggest of them all: the full source code...

Definitely recommend Woolly World and Crafted World if you haven't played 'em.
That character list is interesting and I'd love to know how it fits with a very early Mario Kart 64 screenshot that was I believe from Spaceworld 96.There are early early early Mario Kart 64 tests from a SGI Indy workstation in this leak.
Characters:
kame
kinopio
kong
kuppa
mario
peach

Indeed! Hoping we can dig into this MK64 stuff some more.

All praise the cube!
Interesting to see the short ears on Minun. Early pass on the gender differences that were introduced in DP? There's a lot of shorter ears/tails, that sort of thing, but I don't think there's any quite so extreme.
Is one of these badges Lip?
Isn't it Jill from Drill Dozer? Another game developed by GamFreak.
Worth mentioning here too: The build that was thought to be of SF2 looking more like SF1 is actually an early build of Star Fox 1. Some of the music in that was unused in the first game, but went on to be used in the second.
Short ears on Minun are weird, though maybe its head is just tilted really far back.
Am I mistaken or was Rare credited for Donkey Kong in Mario Kart 64 since they used their design of him? I wonder if he was added fairly late into the game and they just named a jungle stage in the game DK's Jungle Parkway to accommodate him.
Some are pretty similar to that Minun picture, like female Alakazam's shorter mustache.

Yeah, our old source leaked the sprites from this (we didn't know exactly where they were from, apparently this or a compiled version of it) last year, they tried to give almost everything gender differences.
Ocarina of Time beta is the holy fucking grail of video game leaks. I know it's in Nintendo's servers somewhere.... I can't wait to see that uncovered.
Yes, you'd be correct. Rare similarly provided DK's model for the N64 Mario Party installments too.
The strange thing is that the early test makes reference to a "kong", but by the time of the Shoshinkai '95 demo DK was absent from the roster. Really want to know the development timeline on the game's roster now, lol.

Hajime Yajima is credited as programming the Mario Kart 64 SGI Indy tests in the code samples. (and probably the full game)

Hajime Yajima
Hajime Yajima is a technology chief in the Technology Development Department of Nintendo EAD. Initially, he programmed the digital signal processing of Pilotwings and Super Mario Kart, which allowed the game program to perform calculations like the item selection on Mario Kart. He also worked on...

Different hack, that one went after newer stuff. This one was the former Malwarebytes employee.
Dylan Cuthbert, a member of the original Star Fox teams, piped up, and thread has a smidge more info and insight.
Long Yoshi makes baby Yoshi's weird face make much more senseSomeone animated Long Yoshi using the sprite sheet:
The preservation angle always seems weird to me at least when it comes with Nintendo, like the whole point of this is that Nintendo preserves almost everything, what people want is not preservation but it being public
Sounds dumb, "look Nintendo the joy it brings people looking at stolen property"
Nah, it's dumb to not recognize that this is akin to unearthing some new works by Da Vinci or Shakespeare. Of fucking course people want that to be public. But usually we have to wait until the creator is dead. For big corporations, who knows how long that will be, and if the works will still be preserved by that time.
At least the older stuff is old enough that Nintendo will lose nothing by the leak. The newer stuff, sure.
People in that place are getting pissed that there aren't anything worthy in the leaks for D & P. Saying they reused Gen 3 stuffs and the codebase is an unfinished mess.
As far as I recall the guy got caught, but supposedly he gave the stuff to other people before that happened, I remember reading that somewhere it might've been on this board.
EDIT: Or maybe I've been mistaken with a different hacking incident. But there was that famous 2TB hack of which the stuff got released slowly, no idea why.

Yeah. When we say preservation we are obviously talking about preserving it publicly. That's why stuff is displayed in museums.
The only aspect of this leak that bums me is the possibility of doxxing devs and personal, private information of employees becoming public. If Nintendo released this stuff themselves they could scrub personal info off.

HUH! You're right. Now I want a HQ render of prototype Yoshi that looks like this:Long Yoshi makes baby Yoshi's weird face make much more sense
No, that person didn't get caught with being a pedophile. Instead, it was 2 people charged under the UK's Computer Misuse Act that criminalises unauthorised access to computers.
British Microsoft, Nintendo hacker given 18 month sentence
Released on bail for hacking Microsoft, Zammis Clark then hacked Nintendo.

Well, i'll take the L on this one, lol. Guess it was DK Jr. and Koopa Troopa after all.HOLY SHIT
They literally threw in the SMK sprites to do early tests for Mario Kart 64
Poor Luigi...
That looks like Outrun from Sega.HOLY SHIT
They literally threw in the SMK sprites to do early tests for Mario Kart 64
Certainly, I'm sure the culture at the time meant Nintendo valued their IPs.

The mountains give this big Virtua Racing vibes.
Don't they also have longest employee tenures in the industry.
The Gameboy emu was probably repurposed for 3DS GB emulation
It does seem similar looking at how it plays. I love Plok! I'd love to play some of Super Donkey just for comparisons sake even looking at the boss earlier looks like it could be straight out of Plok.Ok, so this "Super Donkey" game was definitely a DK game for the SNES, developed by EAD, then Rare pitched DKC and they retooled some ideas into Super Mario Bros. 5 starring Yoshi, later renamed Yoshi's Island.
I think there is a "missing link" between Super Donkey and SMB5 (which is pretty much an early version of Yoshi's Island). We are missing a Yoshi game with similar graphics to Super Donkey (like a bigger sprite for the main character). This missing prototype would pretty much fit with the version of Yoshi's Island shown to Yamauchi, which looked like the intro of the finale game.
A Super Donkey version of Yoshi's Island would also fit what the guys behind Plok said. Nintendo was supposed to publish Plok, but then they changed their mind because the game looked too much like Yoshi's Island.
Now imagine a Super Donkey starring Yoshi... That would be very similar to Plok.
Yeah, that's why I wonder if now that the source code is out of the games can be modified somehow to run properly.
the Choumakaimura/Super Ghouls N Ghosts in this leak has some weird differences. Music is faster and there's a weird beartrap style spike trick that comes out of the chests? it's even harder than the final version lol.
That was a hoax. Miyamoto commented on it himself in 2010:
The whole quote about "players putting with mediocre gameplay if the art is good" was never real.
