I've never seen the entire Donkey Kong Racing trailer before now, and it's such a shame that it never came to be. Diddy Kong Racing is still one of the best racers made.
Notable changes: 1. Star Fox Adventures: Tricky gets out of the Arwing despite Fox landing in Cloudrunner Fortress. In the final game, a cutscene during the first visit shows that Tricky refuses to get out of the Arwing because Earthwalkers and Cloudrunners are not in good terms with each other and stays inside for his own safety. Fox runs in a pristine version of one of the areas that Sabre explores in Dinosaur Planet, and has Krystal's old running animation from Dinosaur Planet, and the generic dinosaurs have placeholder designs inspired by Diddy Kong Racing. ROB 64 has a less gold design than in the final. The location confirmed line is not in the final game. Perhaps he was supposed to give you Smart Bombs against Andross instead of Falco? After all, there is an unused dialogue between Fox and Falco that suggests that Falco was supposed to help Fox during his battle against General Scales instead of Andross. 2. Wave Race Blue Storm: Ryu's Crew Chief isn't as excited as he is in the final game, but he isn't his rudely sarcastic self either. Some tracks from Wave Race 64 were faithfully recreated, but cut from the final release. The HUD is more closer to Wave Race 64 than it is in the final. 3. Super Monkey Ball: was originally going to be a straight port of Monkey Ball for the Arcade until it became it's own thing, unless the Arcade title screen was a placeholder. 4. Virtua Striker 3 footage from the Dreamcast version. Sonic Adventure 2 footage taken from an early Dreamcast build as Sonic has his classic shoes from The Trial. Sonic Advance has a completely different layout for Neo Green Hill Zone Act 1. 5. Luigi's Mansion - Lots of elements that didn't make the cut, such as a meter that causes the Poltergust to malfunction once it's filled, and the clock in the Game Boy Horror's screen. 6. Pikmin - very early build due to lack of substantial polish, even earlier than the Pikmin trailer from Luigi's Mansion. 7. Very different encounter of the Parasite Queen in Metroid Prime. Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Kameo: Elements of Power, which were both planned for Nintendo GameCube, are no-shows, this confirms that any footage of their Nintendo GameCube versions do not exist.
And though the original GameCube versions of both Grabbed by the Ghouls and Kameo: Elements of Power were released in my timeline. I don't know what they would look like considering any actual trailers for the original GameCube versions of those games never existed (minus that one GBYTG GameCube trailer that was a extra on the original Xbox version that was released)
Wait, what do you mean by that last bit? There's early footage of both games out there: a short trailer of Ghoulies, but more extensive footage of Kameo, showing the wider range of abilities, her original outfit, and occasionally a higher framerate than we got on the Xbox 360. Are you implying that all of this footage was from the Xbox? Because I'm pretty sure it was confirmed to be from the GameCube builds. PS: Appreciate the detailed analysis. I could tell that SA2 was the DC version, for instance, but didn't notice the shoes.
@@3dmarth No besides I mean that the original trailer for Grabbed by the Ghouls was a unlockable extra in the Xbox version of the game that was released after Rare was bought by Microsoft. Also the trailers for the original GameCube versions of both Grabbed by the Ghouls and Kameo not existing was a lie and came from misinfomation form the original post and the user that made said post.
Love to see this, and I have to say this is one of the only channels where I'm disappointed when there's no intro/outro from the guy running the channel, taking us through what we're about to see. Always a pleasure to listen to. One thing I want to bring up when it comes to preserving footage and presenting them as close to 1 to 1 as possible in terms of quality and TH-cam compression - I remember reading that it's always best go as high quality as you can, so even 480p would look best rendered and uploaded in 4K.
This is awesome! I really hope we can get some high quality footage of E3 2005 at some point... I'm desperate to see more of that cancelled Kirby game for Gamecube, and there's definitely more B-roll footage that's still lost.
Good lord. This is amazing. These trailers have a special place in my heart. My brother downloaded these off GameSpot/IGN back in the day (in much lower quality ofc). He burnt them all to a CD-R and made a disc label, printer cover art etc. (featuring the prototype GC with the see-through jewel and controller with a see-through cord and red button. I watched these trailers and the E3 press conference over and over and over in anticipation of the GC release. Almost nothing has come close to how hyped I was for a product release. Wii and Breath of the Wild do deserve honerable mentions though.
Monkey ball was playable for the first time in the US at that E3, with a very different stage layout and overall design. It's so cool to see, but would love to actually play.
Gosh, this is such an awesome find! I've never seen some of these trailers before! Kudos to everyone involved in finding and preserving this priceless piece of Nintendo and video game history!
Awesome! It’s interesting how some titles looking nearly the same as the release ones, some have changed completely and some never been released. Awesome video.
Awesome. I remember seeing this a few months back, but I think you’re the first to upload it properly encoded. Luigi’s Mansion E3 trailer at 60fps as intended. Shame they cut some of it.
@Alfenium hahaha, it's okay, we can agree to disagree I just think this gen has seen Nintendo delivering some of their best-ever entries for almost every IP
@@JoshuaClaytonConnor yeah, the games were so creative but they were also very flawed. In comparison, Wii games were less inspired, ambitious and creative but thankfully by being more linear (because of how the Wii is as a console) they were able to be more polished in the end
@@JoshuaClaytonConnor Disagree about how experimental Nintendo was in the GameCube era, it is a generation where they chose to be more orthodox. In the decades prior, Nintendo was so ahead in terms of game design they were frequently cited as an influence by countless developers. In the 80s and 90s Nintendo invented entire genres and for the Wii and DS they deliberately designed something completely different from what their competitors offered.
I just looked and a copy of this disc has been on Archive since 2022 along with a lot of other GameWave discs from around this time. Makes you wonder what else could just be sitting there.
The two underwater levels shown off in Monkey Ball ended up becoming apart of the jungle and mountain area in the final game. Maybe because the mountain theme was completely new and isn't a recreation of an existing area from the arcade version, so it was developed closer to release?
I just realized that Sonic Adventure 2 was announced for the GameCube even before the Dreamcast version came out! That's a weird thought. (While it seems likely that both were briefly in development at the same time, the footage shown here is from the Dreamcast.)
I remember watching all of these E3 trailers on a VHS which came bundled with a UK gaming mag, though of course they wouldn't have been in this high quality.
I can't wait to see what AI will finally be able to do with true HD upscaling and color correction for sub-HD interlaced video content. It isn't quite there yet to my knowledge but it surely will in a short period of time if things keep moving this fast in that arena.
That Donkey Kong Racing video doesn't look very in-engine, except maybe DK's model. Also, Kiddy Kong? It's rather bold of them to end that video with Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Advance.
it's definitely a different mix than the final release, but I don't think it's that recording. I don't even think smashing live was recorded until like a year after the game came out
It would be fuckin nuts if you or the video game history archive or someone was going through old game VHSs and DVDs and just stumbled upon a bunch of unseen MOTHER 3 footage from the 64/DD versions
Is there a chance you could share these as raw (-ish) MP4 or MKV or whatever files, at the resolution originally captured? I'm an obsessive nerd about quality of digitally-encoded video and images, and TH-cam's bitcrushing drives me up the wall a little bit
It's bizarre, but they probably captured that footage a few months before the event. So we're likely looking at footage 6+ months before release, despite being showcased closer.
i find it funny that out of all of these we only had the pikmin one in high quality before, because it aired on some french TV channel i think Edit: i was wrong about the french channel part, but still
The footage was at the time when it was only a few months after the game moved development to GameCube. There was a show floor demo of the game too however, and it was a much later build compared to the B-roll stuff.
