I'm looking for Mario Kart Wii's first special ghost, distributed (exclusively?) to Japanese Wiis back in 2008. More info here: https://t.co/TOnx3LNuKF If you have it, please DM here or in Discord! #MarioKartWii #マリオカートWii

There's one more noteworthy early model to show off from the OoT3D E3 rom

More unused models in the OoT3D E3 2010 rom! The style definitely feels closer to Twilight Princess than release with this slimer Link. The last one spelling "Grezzo" is a test model for different UV maps.

Alongside the recently dumped E3 2010 demos is an auto-sequence demo of Ocarina of Time 3D. @rlgcarrot has been working on previewing the models from the demo, which features some differences. Check his work out!

OoT3D E3 "Beta": Looks like Nintendo experimented with an art style closer to Twilight princess

Some early models from the OoT3D E3 2010! There's another version of the format I will reverse engineer tomorrow. The style for that Link model is similar to Twilight princess

The demo's code is on the shared Ghidra repo we have for researching MK7's code. We would love to have some help when it comes to researching this build. Attached are instructions on how to access said repo. * MK7 TCRF server: https://t.co/tYfj2iZQQV (3/3)

Including test maps and maps that aren't even in the final MK7! Check these videos out by @Pablomf6 and @JamesMoney0 respectively, which showcase the demo + have a link to all the demos in the description. * https://t.co/LMTIPzeuys * https://t.co/Yik5E8PgGr (2/3)

A dump of all 3DS game prototypes from E3 2010 has been released to the internet, which includes the earliest build of Mario Kart 7 showcased to the public! The demo has a debug menu hidden inside the code, which can be used to actually play the game and explore many maps (1/3)

A bunch of 3DS prototypes from E3 2010 have just been preserved, and among those prototypes is Mario Kart 3DS! Go check James-Money video about them! Furthermore, you can watch the autodemo of Mario Kart 3DS and a full showcase of its debug menu on my channel!

Thanks to vabold for this information! You can find the code related to this feature here: https://t.co/BrQxLrI8ao (2/2)

In Mario Kart Wii, the red Shy Guy from DK Summit is unique in that it's the only one that performs 3 spins during jumps. The other Shy Guys only perform 1 spin. (1/2)

Unlike Shenmue Dreamcast, for which SEGA waited several months after the game’s release in Japan to complete the English translation, localisation for Skies of Arcadia began even before the game was finalised. This SOA prototype shows this process👇 https://t.co/vSSEhziVle

In Mario Kart Wii, it's possible to hit a player from under the road in Luigi Circuit by throwing a Bob-Omb out of bounds at specific spots. This happens because Luigi Circuit has a collision plane under the road, where items can land, as seen at the end of this video.

Here's where this is achieved in the code. Only in DS Twilight House, the game will copy the vehicle's lighting into the Blooper's, which has the side effect of darkening the Blooper itself after the player is hit by the ink. Source: Shared Ghidra repo (GC / Wii Decomp Server)

In Mario Kart Wii, the Blooper's model always has bright lighting, even if the player is stepping into a shadow or other spots that change the lighting But in DS Twilight House, the Blooper lighting matches the player's, which also darkens the Blooper after being hit by the ink

One of the many Holy Grails of Texture Archaeology has been found. Great work @Gabishy04, for finding the original source for the Wii Sports background texture!

Although the album mentions that this is Corfu, it actually might be Antirrio Beach, in Greece (38.33066179920841, 21.76126098749739) The date for the original photo source is June 18th, 2000. (2/2)

The original source photo used in some of the Wii Sports backgrounds has been found by @Gabishy04 from the @Render96VGTP team! The original photo comes from the Marlin Studios Great Textures Of Europe album, found in \Disk 1\photos\P1011542.jpg (1/2)
