Nintendo Source code leak - source for games, DS emulator, prototypes and more

It's a shame because I would really like to see Nintendo make their own ROM hacks. I've said it before, give teams of five Nintendo employees two months to create a weird ROM hack for a NES game and release it for free on the e-store. Maybe it could be Kid Icarus but you play Link from Zelda 2, or play as Samus in Zelda 2. Maybe change a bit of dialog. It could be cheap to produce and be intriguing free offerings that all the soyboys will write glowing articles about.

Fucking ace. I wonder if the GBA sappy stock sounds are there too...

The sound font for the GBA is also used for the GameCube, allowing things like remaking Wario Land 4's soundtrack in "high quality". It's not a perfect 100% conversion but it does help a lot.

Thanks to a previous leak we now actually have HQ wario land 4 samples and I love it.
I don't think we have warioware though...

It's so fucking weird hearing it all un-bitcrushed, I'm pretty sure the warioware team designed the audio around the janky resamples.

That's just putting small clear conditions in existing games, I was thinking of them messing with full length games in a title crossover kind of way. There's that A Link to the Past/Super Metroid randomizer hack, that's pretty cool, there was also that flash game that put in Simon Belmont, Ryu Hayabusa, Samus and other characters in Mario 1. They don't own those licenses but they have a lot of other things on the NES.
There's also Link and SMB2 functionality in Mario Maker 2, so they are aware that there's something to the crossover concept.

In my mind, instead of making it a full blown game with a real production budget they would take a couple of people that are between projects and give them some time to come up with something and blow off some steam. The stakes are very low, it's more or less an internal gamejam. Maybe a junior employee or two could sharpen their teeth on projects like that.

Is there anything meaningful coming from the romhack and homebrew world because of all this or is it just as academic "oh cool" as it looks?
 
A discord sifting through the second gigaleak has found some more uncompiled SNES devtool source. No telling if it's SpriteCAD or something else yet.
Nothing particularly interesting has come of it yet aside from Fundoshi-kun, who seems to be an inside joke/placeholder image that shows up in several tools. He seems to be Nintendo's jokey 2D equivalent of the Utah teapot.

I know there's no EarthBound 64 (yet) in the leaks but my personal holy grail is proof positive that Ura Zelda was supposed to be a major add-on to Ocarina of Time that takes advantage of the N64DD and not simply Master Quest as Miyamoto and his followers have claimed.

It could be that Master Quest was intended to do this but when the 64DD fell through they stopped putting any work into it after the dungeons and whatever.
 
9/9 brings yet another leak.

Not a lot of info yet aside from people close to the source dropping screens and saying that it including a lot of gameboy stuff, beta versions and such as well as a couple unreleased games, notably whatever this is:

E: Files here, supposedly. Getting glacial speeds on the download though.

E2: There's even more, holy shit. This leak is up to 6GB of files across three archives.

Gargoyles Quest 2 was originally on Game Boy? The legacy wouldn’t have been that great then.
 
HOLY FUCKING SMOKES WE FOUND GIMMICK LAND!!!!

For those who don't know, gimmick land is the (supposedly complete but never released) original GBC incarnation of Tomato Adventure on the GBA.
Tomato Adventure is basically the spiritual prequel to the Mario and Luigi series.
