It's been a fun time for the Switch scene, as over the weekend multiple prototypes from both first and third party developers for the Nintendo Switch were leaked online. These prototypes were recovered from prototype ODIN-eMMCs and show games in various stages of completion. Some of these games are post-release debug builds, and some were, as far as we know, never developed into full games. To run these, an SDEV or a retail resigned .nsp is required.

The game list is as follows:

• A post release debug build of ARMS dated somewhere between April 7th and May 10th, 2017 (based on revision number comparisons)
• 2 post-release debug builds of Splatoon 2 from June 1st and June 9th, 2017
• An unreleased Ridge Racer game built in Unreal Engine 4, reportedly developed by Bandai Namco Singapore Studios
• 3 builds of Harmony, an unreleased Nintendo-published RPG with music mechanics developed by Retro Studios
• An unreleased Lego game titled Lego Civilization
• A debug enabled build of RiME

Stupid Nintendo ditching Bandai NAMCO as if it's nothing.

I'm very curious to have known what a Bandai NAMCO Metroid Prime 4 could've been.
It's like, that canceled Sheik game from RetroStudios.
Great ideas, great developers, held back by Nintendo, what a shame.

 

[DiJornios]

I was actually gonna spend $700 on the Switch 2 but after reading that Nintendo cancelled the Ridge Racer game that's when I lost all respect for them

 

[CeeDee]

So... will we finally get to learn who Reggie hid behind the Mario statue in his retirement gift from Retro Studios?

 

[console]

That's great news!

Too closer to Nintendo Switch 2 games leaked on internet! Yay?

Everyone running like wild on internet.

I want to find out about this so bad it has been years. Also why Nintendo hates retro studios so much. every game they try to develop ends up ditched

 

[FR0ZN]

Are these builds leaked?
Or just gameplay videos?

 

[eriol33]

I cannot believe we haven't gotten any MegaMan legends 3 leak.

Or maybe they were cancelled because they simply weren't going to be good enough?

Do you have a devkit or retail switch?
If you get it to run on a retail unit, please let me know, if there are any extra steps, like with the MK8 leak.

Seen someone running on ryujinx i have the retail.

 

[FR0ZN]

Seen someone running on ryujinx i have the retail.

I don't know if retail units can play devkit builds "just like that".
I first need to get my Switch up to speed again, before I can try anything like that.
Let me know how it goes for you please

 

[limpbiz411]

i got rr just need to figure out how to resign it to run on my modded switch

Nope. Not when close. Switch 2 games are digital only so the console itself would need to be hacked to decrypt them. Which could be years away

I'm most interested in the Harmony builds and the Ridge Racer game.

I thought I heard that many Retro Studios members left the company back around the Metroid Prime 3 days, but I found Donkey Kong Country Returns 1 and TF pretty solid. They still seem to have creative talent there, so I'd be interested to know what Harmony was meant to be like.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

I bet you harmony is what Retro was working on while Bandai Namco was developing Metroid Prime Beyond.

After they pulled Bandai Namco, from the project, they iced Harmony to prioritize Metroid Prime 4.
