Nintendo leaks continue, this time featuring N64 development repositories and source codes

9xCVsvl.png

Someone clearly left the faucet on, because we've got even more leaks. Yesterday's "Gigaleak", which contained in-development betas and source codes for Super Nintendo games has been added upon in a "Gigaleak II". Supposedly, a new file being distributed contains source codes for Nintendo 64 titles, including Super Mario 64, a corrupted version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Animal Forest, and much more, which is yet to be fully discovered.

A direct source/download link to the contents of this leak cannot be shared, as they are warez.

This is definitely cool and all, a part of gaming history, but it's ridiculous to pretend Nintendo is losing their minds over it. Even if they were planning on releasing N64 games as a part of Switch Online, they weren't going to make any more money off them individually

Their reaction is probably more along the lines of:

I disagree. There’s a Gigaleaks 1, 2, they must be scared shitless as to how many gigaleaks are left and how much data is out there. What if this ends with a Switch gigaleaks with all their newest games source codes leaked ?

Yeah I am pretty sure they are quite worried right now. But at the end of the day life will continue, they will keep making games which will sell well and they’ll keep getting richer and richer with merchandise and franchise figures

If it's true that the data is leaked from iQue, they shouldn't have access to any Switch related code since they are no longer partnered. Last involvement iQue had was 3DS.

I'm sure they'd take that a lot more seriously and have their legal team(s) scrambling to find the culprit. At the same time, however, there are already a couple pretty good Switch emulators available, it's been jailbroken basically since launch, and Switch hardware/software continues to sell like hotcakes regardless. So I feel like the overall impact of something like that would be lesser than it seems at first glance...perhaps the emulators become more accurate and Sony/Microsoft learn a couple tricks of the trade they didn't know before, but that's about it. Just as you said, life would go on.

The one other element of note here is that these all seem to be early alpha and beta versions of games, so more than anything it's a fascinating look into Nintendo's creative process, but I seriously doubt it's going to spawn a whole new wave of indie games with the same polish and charm as first-party Nintendo titles. We might get a few more derivative fan projects out of it, but those were already abundant before the leaks anyway. Case in point, this was also released today:

I'm just sitting here and waiting for Goldeneye 64 to pop up in one of these leaks.. A proper port with good performance and controls is all I want

I still cannot believe Luigi was discovered in SM64 24 years and 1 month after the game first released, and on 25th July

2+4+0+1 = 7 = July
24+0+1 = 25 = 25th
= 25th July

L really is real, 2401

Yes, LIES will become real 24 years and 1 month from now. The biggest LIE of them all becomes real in the minds of fools, COVID19

Spooky? Maybe.

Popularity does not indicate quality
Did I say that it did? No.

It keeps happening, those faucets are leaking hard!
Someone will make native ports of these games, that's for sure.
Venezuela?

You actually have internet access and a device to use it with? Hahahaha

iQue is owned fully by Nintendo and they do translation work for Nintendo games. iQue is apparently also becoming a game development studio.

this is so much better than the last Nintendo direct we got
I liked Rogue Company a lot

Except the business model when I saw it on EGS. It needs to be just a $14 one off purchase, no extras. No paid dlc, no microtransactions.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
