Back in 2018, there was a major hack that hit Nintendo, and various information obtained from it have filtered out over the years. Today's the biggest drop and one of the biggest leak in video game history as ton of stuff is getting released including protos, master roms for Nintendo's entire 8 bit library and the source code of several games. As you'd expect, that's a lot of juicy content. There's a lot of stuff now being circulated and all of this stuff is still being actively prodded and mined so you'll forgive the grabbag nature of this post!

Among things that have been discovered include...

A lot of early Yoshi's Island stuff, including a mysterious prototype know as "Super Donkey"!

Yoshi was apparently going to escort a random wizzard baby at one point. How odd!

What are your favourite findings? And got anything else of interest not yet in this post?
 
SMRPG is also in the list, but oddly enough, nothing has really come from it, guess people just didn't check yet, I bet we are going to get a million Smash fan art if there is a Proto Geno in there, lol
I just wish Nintendo was more open to just telling people about stuff that didn't make it more often, it's litterally not going to hurt them unless something bigoted shows up.
Just make a Nintendo secrets day on their social media accounts, it's better than people's private data being to the open to the all so wonderful place called 4chan, at very least, you can make some money off showing it off in lincesed books

ooo one of those early Koopa sprites looks like one of the Koopalings TV show designs lmao

anyway this is insane. makes me wonder what extent of content might still be yet to come out. hoping for proto-Sticker Star and SPM for GameCube but that may be pushing it lol
 
these findings are all so SO COOL
super donkey apparently was going to be miyamotos version of dkc, and even has a few donkey kong sprites in the data, and then it somehow became plok. what an enigma
