Correction: Mario Artist was always called Mario Artist. The "Maker Series" were a set of seperate creation tools that would have been developed by Randnet as a company, but never came to be. The Maker Series was comprised of "Sound Maker", "Game Maker", "Graphical Message Maker" and "Video Jockey Maker". They have similar names to Mario Artist's "Picture Maker" (Paint Studio), "Talent Maker" (Talent Studio), "Polygon Maker" (Polygon Studio) and even "Sound Maker" (Sound Studio) where there was an overlap, but in reality they have nothing to do with each other. There's also longer versions of these Mario Artist videos in this specific promotional video that I recently reuploaded in HD: th-cam.com/video/AyjHHIPdTmM/w-d-xo.html
Temple of time exterior is very interesting, as far as I can remember there's no camera movement like that anywhere else in the game for the pre-rendered sections.
It was so close to done, sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if they released it anyway. Assuming the DD still failed the same because I don't think it would have fixed it or anything Majora's Mask would have been normal 64 stuff and Zelda 64 probably would have been a cult classic in the future. Interesting stuff.
Awesome stuff! Mid-90’s me would have freaked out seeing early footage like this. Just had tiny magazine screens back then. Hope to see more about the Giga-Leak! Can’t wait for the next video. Stay Hard!
Thanks for everything, Tony. Been watching for years. All of this preservation is so important to video games, someone needed to do it and you took on the task and every video is a treat. Thanks!
Wow holy crap, its the temple of time from the gigaleak *in motion* We only had still images before, and for the longest time we thought it was a static background like the final. Then we found it in the gigaleak and discovered it was a panorama, but the way the panorama was built implied that the camera moved both horizontally and vertically. This isn't really the smoking gun, more like the police showing up right as the murder is happening
But makes me wonder how it would have looked like when/if they applied the masking textures on the wall beside the stairway back to the market, should Link go behind it. I can imagine that would have been extremely difficult and time consuming just to even get it to look aesthetically presentable; I wouldn't be surprised that was the reason for still images for the final.
These videos are highly entertaining to watch as I feel I get to look back into the past of the video game industry as a whole. It's certainly wonderous and I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
1:21 That one Mario RPG screenshot that's been circulating the internet for years, still as blurry as ever. 4:50 A more spherical pre-rendered Temple of Time backdrop. Also, Navi on the B button, and the sword on A.
Interesting to me is the buttons in the Ocarina footage. They identify the A button as the button to use the sword and the B button as the action button. Not only that, but the B button has the text "Navi." I guess we knew about different button configurations being used in the game's development, but it's cool to see official footage of it.
Right on, you now have a short experience see how the temple of time would look like. Notice that Link's hat was moving, that never been used in the final version
Maybe they were removed so you could use Bomb Flowers to open up rock walls instead? It would kind of make sense inside a cavern. It gets the player used to how bombs work in a 3D space too until they get the bag for them.
Tony smoked so much kush back in the day, that’s why he gotta breathe in real deep before every sentence. Also used to be able to hit blinkers and hold them in, that’s how he is able to talk so long without pausing
Heya, did you see some German footage from spaceworld was uploaded 1 week ago by the user Xiartic (very little views) showing this same footage but a bit more. It shows a shot from a small hallway from the forest temple for example that’s not shown here. Perhaps nice to check out! Edit: it also shows a triforce in Dodongos cavern boss room
I remember seeing pictures of this video presentation for the Maker series in Club Nintendo magazine. I suppose this material was done for press purposed.
Just a random nerd comment: Like two years ago i have started learning japanese. At least my hiragana and katakana skills now come in handy, everytime such cool stuff from japan appears. What a great victory.
Mother 3 wasn’t going well in 3D, so they decided to switch to 2D. Otherwise it would’ve been continued onward to GC like games like Animal Crossing. Literally identical to the original N64 graphics, and people still loved it.
I don’t think they even gave it a chance in japan. You could only buy it through a magazine, no? What took so long for the damn thing to come out?! It should’ve been released congruently with the actual n64 itself (Both at the same time). They kinda blocked themselves in though and restricted themselves to the cartridge space. They kinda were forced to make a full and whole game in the space limitations of the cartridge because what would they do, release the game with the cartridge that had a disk with it? They should’ve went cd. There’s really not all that much you can do with the DD stuff except have like additional content. Maybe if they strictly went with disks instead of carts, maybe that would’ve been better maybe? A really big game could be released with two disks?

Yeah they went with a few still camera angles instead.
5:01 - heh it's that beta Kokiri Forest from the Gigaleak. Really nice seeing that beta outdoor temple of time finally shown off
Looks like stage 4

dude it totally is! wow.

Wow the temple of time was actually 3d-ish reminds me of the zelda oot 3d camera glitch.
The temple of time shot rocked my sh**.
I noticed even though the areas are the same, Navi would still lock on as red to enemies and the kokri swords icon was different
1:21
Weird how they used a beta pic of SMRPG

Was that multiple players working on the pikachu art? That would be realyl neat, multiplayer MSPaint!
Maybe give it a little moustache and Mario cap? lol
I remember seeing most of this footage in that old Spaceworld 1997 video...
And once again, Spot04_OLD in motion
Id like to see an alternate universe where the 64DD was used instead of the cartridge.

Great Video Tony
Simply beautiful
Just a random nerd comment: Like two years ago i have started learning japanese. At least my hiragana and katakana skills now come in handy, everytime such cool stuff from japan appears. What a great victory.
Link was standing there getting fire on to him and Didn't take damage because of his shield.
Now I wanna see that beta temple of time restored
Heck, even the beta dungeon for the Light Medallion.
One weird thing I noticed is Link having 2 keys in Dodongos cavern.
That computer program for the nintendo world is made with macromedia director
Weirdest thing is Kid Kong being used for something other than DKC3.
I wonder if nintendo would try the mario paint 3d model maker in the switch at some point
I wonder why they never just put the earthbound project on hold for the GameCube like capcom did for resident evil 0.
Mother 3 wasn’t going well in 3D, so they decided to switch to 2D. Otherwise it would’ve been continued onward to GC like games like Animal Crossing. Literally identical to the original N64 graphics, and people still loved it.
Great video! Not boring videos of mic and indie games!
It's interesting to think if the DD would've bombed as hard had it been released outside of Japan.
I don’t think they even gave it a chance in japan. You could only buy it through a magazine, no? What took so long for the damn thing to come out?! It should’ve been released congruently with the actual n64 itself (Both at the same time). They kinda blocked themselves in though and restricted themselves to the cartridge space.

i too take lots of dumps
Is that a muse player in the background?
Waiting on you to do an update on dinosaur planet
It'll be done someday. Same for Beta Zelda 64.

Outside dodongo's cavern
