The fact we see the full coverage of DK64, back when Jack in the box was more creepy than it is today and the kongs using real guns, totally dope see this full, thanks Justin!
It's worth noting that at this time cutting edge home computers were pushing 333mhz CPU's at the absolute top end. Dolphin was 486mhz and had super-fast 1TSRAM to boot. It was an insanely impressive machine.
Just think though 7B dollars and they’re “add-on” for the N64 failed *smh* their crazy! I’d have an entire company of my own, a 2 story building with over 300 workers making awesome games as well, but the fact that their add-on “failed” in marketing, first off, they need to avenge the systems life span after all these years of leaving it behind to nearly be totally forgotten, 7 billion dollars is a banks full vault of gold bricks, ffs! I want Miamoto to make someday make unexpected console comebacks, but can we expect that? *sigh*…
As cool as this was to see as a fan who's fascinated w/ Nintendo's E3 history, it's a good thing Space World 2000 came along to completely shake up their press conference presentation style.
The way they described dk64’s budget is a funny way of saying “we could only fix a game breaking bug by plugging in the expansion pak, so we included one with every game” lol
I remember seeing pictures of this event on Club Nintendo magazine, the Latin America version of Nintendo Power. Watching the event now, it's a great nostalgia trip! Thank you for uploading this piece of history!
The specific wording there was "Dolphin's technology will be integrated into various Matsushita or Panasonic-branded DVD consumer electronic products, enabling consumers to play movies and music, as well as Dolphin games published by Nintendo and Nintendo's third-party publishers". The GameCube wouldn't be able to play movies and music, but Nintendo would allow Panasonic to use the Dolphin hardware in their upcoming DVD player, in what would eventually be released as the Panasonic Q.
@Philyutuber2022 Playtonic is trying to fill those shoes, their debut title was lackluster yet Impossible Lair is worth playing. On the surface it appears that they’ve given up on games and moved on to publishing. They’ve stated in interviews that they’re definitely going to continue creating their own titles, including a 3D platformer. Current Rare is an entirely different studio, they didn’t even develop the newest entries in their classic franchises. It was always some unrelated studio with modern Rare as a consultant.
So great to have this E3 footage from a year that fills me with SO much personal nostalgia. Dat early DK64 footage (Proto-Mad Jack was EASY) and Pokémon segment! Also, "Game Boy Pinball" is the original "Disney Epic Disney." 😂
All these press conferences were recorded by dozens of media outlets. It's just a matter of who still has footage and is willing to upload it. So far this seems to be the only full length press conference from before 2000 uploaded to TH-cam.
Not a whole lot of people actually went to E3 back then and the only coverage you ever got from them was gaming magazines. That's why videos like this are such a big deal in the first place
E3 wasn't just the press conferences though. It was the entire week of hundreds if not thousands of new games to demo on the show floor, all the developers in one place to give interviews and show off their games, an opportunity for people to actually get theirs hands on these things and get their questions answered
Never saw this trailer of Episode 1 Racer before. Was neat they got Jake Lloyd for that presentation Wait, Jet Force Gemini released withing *six weeks* of that trailer? Then the decision to age up Jet Force was pretty damn late in development. Juno even had a completely different armor upgrade. That just begs the question of why Rare didn't just use these models for the "Jet Force Kids" cheat instead of just messing with their proportions
I think the footage in the trailer was recorded much earlier. Back in the day they didn't care so much and you could find beta images on box art and in manuals and trailers. Movie trailers had scenes that were cut at final release, et.c. TV's at E3 had rolling footage recorded from earlier builds. But I think it was still a late change.
Actually, it was delayed slighly, but it was a good thing. Character models were extremely smooth curved and character(s) animation was improved greatly for final version just in few feeks, as Rare was able to use their latest technology during character change.
I recall this time being a gamer, everyone had a PS1 and the N64 had a trickle of games coming through… awesome games I would add. The pressure was on Nintendo and Sega, Sony had more or less stolen the console market and countless developers and PS2 hype was real. Funny to look back now, I feel the Dolphin or GameCube more appealing than any of the consoles which ended up being released and it’s the only one I come back to and still play, even though it didn’t sell as many as Nintendo wanted.
Crazy how much different the protagonist from jet force Gemini looked in this conference. I'm glad they changed it, the look they ended up releasing is solid
The world had no idea how big Pokemon would become. Yamauchi saw the potential before anyone else. You can go back and hear his speech at Spaceworld '97 where he talks about Nintendo's belief in the IP. Pokemon Yellow was such a scam though.
I couldn't find what DK64's first year sales were so I don't know if it shattered OoT's record setting first year sales but overall sales it came up about 1.5 million units short of OoT. Still one of the best selling N64 games, even outselling Banjo Kazooie.
@@jess648 It was marketing spin to cover up the fact that the game required the Expansion Pak to mitigate a fatal data leak bug in the game's code that would cause it to crash
@@kaihedgie1747 This is false. It doesn't run without expansion pack (at the time), because it doesn't use all power on out of N64. Maybe if it was released at the same time as Concer's Bad Fur Day, or Banjo-Tooie, RARE would had beed able to run it without Expansion pack, -just coz they knew 2001 how to get more out of N64, than they did on 1999.
@@M1XART No, one of the dev teams at Rare confirmed this was the case. The bug is actually still in the Wii U VC port, so it's not about the console's power; they messed up the code
@@kaihedgie1747 Nothing to do with power, but more RAM helps to resolve issue. OK. I see... According to Rare, DK64 was going to use expansion pack anyway, just not require it. (When i'm saying according to Rare, i mean DK64 team, not CBFD programmer).
The fact we see the full coverage of DK64, back when Jack in the box was more creepy than it is today and the kongs using real guns, totally dope see this full, thanks Justin!
It seems to be a little later than the real guns version where the models are final but the sounds still use the old versions.
That jack in the box looks basic but better than the one we got which was frustrating as a child

And Sega wasn’t alone, even Nintendo would share the same mistakes too. 😂
Ya Nintendo went all out with the N64 and Dolphin hardware. Then Xbox came in with some absurd hardware. Amazing time to be a gamer
What an amazing time capsule! Thanks Justin for recording and saving this for everyone.
Wow i was in 9th grade when this video was recorded. It is truly amazing how time flies. I would give anything to go back to this time period again.

They mentioned “Dolphin” being able to play movies and music with its DVD drive. I wonder what happened between then and the GameCube?
Licensing for DVD. Same with the Wii
The specific wording there was "Dolphin's technology will be integrated into various Matsushita or Panasonic-branded DVD consumer electronic products, enabling consumers to play movies and music, as well as Dolphin games published by Nintendo and Nintendo's third-party publishers". The GameCube wouldn't be able to play movies and music, but Nintendo would allow Panasonic to use the Dolphin hardware in their upcoming DVD player, in what would eventually be released as the Panasonic Q.

W/ 10-year-old Jake Lloyd: On the one hand, "awkwardly talking with a business adult on stage," but on the other hand, "VIDEO GAME TRADE SHOW!"
Back when E3 was the mandatory office meeting. Great content though!
I miss Nintendo when they used to compete with Graphics
Me too
This is incredible! So nostalgic
See kids, this was Nintendo Directs you had to go to and couldn't watch online

@@kaihedgie1747 and that’s why the way it’s currently done is better, I hope the original comment wasn’t being condescending

28:45 also the Adventures manga, which was unheard of at the time...
The succes of the anime completely eclipsed it unfortunately. And most kids back then didn't have Internet.
This is such a joy to watch. I wonder is Jake Loyd is aware of this, he was so young!! He did a great job of portraying Anakin. ❤👌
why youtube seems to suppress this amazing channel I will never understand.
11:09 Huh, Young Anakin was there? 😂
Never saw this trailer of Episode 1 Racer before. Was neat they got Jake Lloyd for that presentation

This is awesome!

Wow, such a treasure, thanks for the video! Lots of beta content specially of DK64, beta clown boss, beta life meter and lots of other things 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Crazy how much different the protagonist from jet force Gemini looked in this conference. I'm glad they changed it, the look they ended up releasing is solid
Wow, he talks about the ratings system, ESRB. This was a big deal back then because Nintendo were in a court battle with Sega over violence in games
That was in the early 90s.
@@AfterBurnerTeirusu What is he referring to then?
Edit: Nevermind, the Columbine Massacre happened shortly before that, I guess that's it.
What a contradictory presser, lol. They wanted to hype up N64, and then Howard Lincoln told about the GameCube, eliminating the hype about N64.
youre a wonderful man for uploading this, THANK YOU :)
Heart breaking to see jake loyed Best wishes im a huge fan of him from Star wars Ep 1 i feel lik the only one who liked him

That was cool time to be a gamer
Oh shit, Retro namedrop with super old logo!

Back when Pokémon was the shit.
Pokémania was runnin’ wild, brother! 😂
Oh boy, Donkey Kong 64. The game that "killed" collectathon platform games. Though that’s all BS since we still have them to this day. 😆

First!
