It's time for another anonymous treasure trove. Someone has, yet again, posted a collection of highly interesting bits of Nintendo history, in the form of source codes, development repositories, and beta/debug builds of Super Nintendo games. This is an addition to the previously uploaded content we've seen earlier this year, which included beta Pokemon designs, the source code for the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 64 prototypes, and other files. In this leak, source code for Star Fox and Star Fox 2, Super Mario World, Link's Awakening, Yoshi's Island, F-Zero, potentially Super Mario RPG, A Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, and more are all available. Some Twitter users have already gotten their hands on the files, uploading footage of these beta versions of games, such as an early build of Yoshi's Island, seen below.

Downloads for these files cannot be provided, though they are making their rounds across the internet, and have not been taken down from their original source yet.

A bunch of Nintendo prototypes are apparently currently being compiled from leaked source code right now as of this post

The hacker known as 4chan is a Chad among men for the nation of Kekistan!

TOP FUCKING KEK!

 

[banjo2]

I can't find anything other than source code.

obscure homebrew in 8 words

 

[osaka35]

*heavy breathing*

not mario rpg source? well. I'm looking forward to the hard work someone will undoubtedly put into making a 260fps star fox.

 

[stüssy]

Anyone already looked at those “Tons and tons of CAD documents in general relating to Nintendo products”?

 

[Deleted member 323844]

ensata was already known before this leak and it's allegedly a pretty terrible emulator. There's really no reason to port it anywhere (that's leaving aside all the legal implications).

Yep. It was leaked by EXPERiENCE back in July 2006, a few months before No$GBA 2.2, the first public emulator to ever run commercial games.

I tried it back in the day and it only ran GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, without sound and quite slow.

This looks like a source code tho.

 

[Darksabre72]

This is better than E3.

it kinda feels like a nintendo direct lol

 

[Jayro]

That's so weird that it would say "Super Mario Bros 5", when it's only the 4th Super Mario Bros game.

SMB1 > SMB2 > SMB3 > SMW > SMW2.

It makes the 5th game in the main series for me.

Oh, I didn't see that it was Yoshi's Island, I'm bad at reading.

 

[TheZander]

Don't need Nintendo anymore, I can make my own video games. Suckers.

I'm curious about this as well.

 

[altorn]

character looks like Rayman

 

[GamerzHell9137]

Oof i wish someone ports Super Mario All-Stars + Mario World to pc with 16:9 AR

 

[Deleted member 323844]

You want bsnes HD.



Of course it is glitchy as hell with sidescrolling games since 16:9 fov is just a hack, there's no way to do that natively.

 

[UltraSUPRA]

Are the Yoshi protos compiled?

 

[CMDreamer]

It's fascinating just how many things we can discover from these leaks, and it makes me really excited about what the community can do with them, just take SM64 as an example.

That's the worst example for any of this leaks, because the source code of SM64 (and its compilation afterwards) has nothing to do with them.

 

[Deleted User]

Im interested in those CAD files more so than the source codes tbh

*Lost Levels being the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 intensifies*

Kind of like Super Mario Bros. X, or whatever that PC project was that was Mario Maker before the official game was made by Nintendo?

 

[huma_dawii]

I can't wait for N64 and Wii U leaks!

 

[MikaDubbz]

Because there are over 300 games worth playing on the Wii U and 3DS.

Thanks to VC, injects, Wiiware forwarders and more, yes, absolutely. I've been at that 300 title limit for ages on both of them.
