Gigaleak 3 contains loads of unreleased and unfinished Game Boy and Game Boy Color games such as Pokemon Picross, Gargoyle’s Quest II, Legend of the Sea King and Legend of the River King. There is also a port of the Mega Man board game, Rockboard and a Hello Kitty GB Printer game:




The dump supposedly also has the entirety of Nintendo's lineup for the GameBoy and GameBoy Colour included.

Oh man, I... I think I remember seeing a screenshot of that pokèmon picross game from an old nintendo magazine when they made an article about unreleased games. I do remember there being some sort of DK-theme puzzle game too for the gba... wonder if it will be leaked in the future...

It's always so exciting being able to finally get your hands on something that was though to be lost forever or what <3

Nice but just by looking at that list I have no clue what games were finished and just never released.

Is specially jarring with Gameboy games as the first two years of the Gameboy Color was filled by recolored Gameboy games, so Nintendo releasing the Gameboy color was no excuse, what with the Gameboy Pocket being considering "cool" even if it had a smaller screen and having been released not long before the GBC.

At this point I have to wonder if Nintendo is doing this on purpose to build hype. I mean, having this many leaks requires skill lol.
Not really. It's theorized that an ex-employee is behind this, or some other developer who had access to data repositories, and they're just leaking stuff on a really slow drip. No hacks or compromises took place.

what I don't get is why nintendo didn't destroy these unreleased games unless they were VC bound i see no point in keeping it

someone must be a super pissed ex employee to risk jail time to get even for termination, but it's better than the alternative of a workplace shooting i suppose

It's really sad that the only good thing about Nintendo this year is not even from Nintendo

Don't get me wrong but this year was really lame for them

I wish kirby stuff was included since I want to see air ride 64 the original cristal shards for the 64dd with multiple characters included as seen on some screenshot and the kirby GC game but apparently nothing about Hal is included on these leaks

Its been suspected the leak is from someone who is trusted by Zammis Clark.

Clark hacked Nintendo back in 2018 and got ~2.5Tb of private content. Then he got arrested (and convicted on a probational sentence), so it's probably not him leaking it, but a confidant of his.

There's always someone who finds a reason to say that every year.

It seems there's a ROM for "Kirby Family", but it's just embroidery patterns for the sewing machine system.

I know of some people who have collected big repos of software and are allowing them to be accessed. They claim it is to keep history from being lost, and I believe them. Heck, you can probably find that old DOS game that someone made in 1988 that some guy kept an illegal copy of!

Makes you wonder if copyright is a bit too stringent... :wtf:

At this point there have got to be thousands of people out there who have terabytes of old games stashed away in the belief that they are "preserving" them. But how many of them could actually set up those collections in a way that other people could actually access easily? And how many of them even have particular knowledge of more than 10% of what they've stored?

I think it's far more useful to actually sit down and play these games and write about them, but who has time for that?

Hopefully someone compiles a full archive of all these new leaked games and betas once the dust settles. Hoping for some cool 64 betas 1 of the days
