Nope. Some tech demos made during the very early days of N64 Development are in this batch.

SF64 was a remake of SF1.

SF64 was remade on DS.

SF64 was remade again for WiiU as SF Zero.

Nintendo needs to stop remaking that game and move on. A source port of the games would be nice though.

Because Argonaut were the ones who created the series and drove it. All of Nintendo's ideas for the series have either been to remake the most famous game, shove the Star Fox series into games that didn't need them in the first place, or just bad games.

What? I thought SF64 was a sequel to the original game?

Having a lot of fun with this so far.
As someone who played the later prototype version of Star Fox 2 (But not the final yet as I want to beat all the difficulties) this version is very interesting.

E: and the really freaky yoshi's island prototype where all eggs come from blocks and yoshi eats the walls is cool.

E2: Also the early "Super Mario World 2" demo is quite clearly inspired by puggsy. I bet Jon Burton is gonna flip when he sees this.
(This is puggsy)

I think the stories are very similar.

Are you talking about Super Donkey or Sleep?

Super Donkey, I think... (I can't get either to run in snes9x)

The one where the guy in the flying goggles grabs things with his hands

It treats everything as happening for the first time, and they've never established it as being a prequel or anything. I think it was meant as a hard reboot.

You could view Ocarina of Time as a soft reboot too since it basically acted as an "origin" to the series, although you'd never really know this from the game and only through supplemental material like the official Strategy Guide. Even Super Mario 64 doesn't really mention much from the other games and almost seems like it's own thing with none of the Koopa Kids returning or anything. .I think they were trying to go for a "new slate" with the jump to 3D graphics which came out in different ways for different series.

I just never payed that much attention to the story in SF64 and just assumed it was taking place after the events of the SNES game, even if the basic plot was exactly the same, but thinking about it again I guess I was wrong.

Eh, you're still right for not giving it much thought. I make it sound much more deliberate than it probably was. I honestly don't think Nintendo gives much of a shit about their stories, especially back then. It was a "hard reboot" in so much as they just wanted to start fresh and didn't care for how it worked out. It could just as easily be a sequel, it's just Nintendo didn't put any real effort to connect them and Star Fox was still a relatively new IP.

Stuff like that is why I find people who theorize over the Zelda or Mario timeline so laughable. It's clear as fuck that Nintendo doesn't give a shit, they just view these things as toys and IIRC Nintendo reps have flat out admitted the story is the last thing they pretty much come up with in most games. You'd think the fact that they set Breath of the Wild literally 10,000 years after everything else so they could just start clean and not worry about that shit would be the sign but I still see theorizing about it to this day.

This.

SF1 had a typical threadbare video game plot typical for the time. Evil villain, poke him in the eye with lasers to save the day. 64 expands on the story, characters, and gameplay a lot, but is a reboot plot wise.

64 > Adventures > Assault > Command all share a plot line with characters and events from previous games referenced in later ones. It's not like Zelda where every game that isn't a direct sequel is obviously stand alone. Krystal joins the team, Peppy retires, Tricky grows up.

I've never played Zero, but my understanding was that it once again retreads the "Andross invades Corneria" plot with all the character development from the previous games stripped out. Essentially being another reboot.

Well all we know is that at least a large part of it came from the fellow I knew, ryanrocks462, however this material was passed from him to a third party at some point.

I also don't consider him a "friend" because as soon as I became aware of his predilections I told him that someday he would get what was coming to him and cut all ties. I didn't participate in ratting on him, but I knew several people who did in order to avoid coming under scrutiny themselves.

He's also not in prison yet, because his sentencing was postponed due to corona. Last I checked he was still under house arrest/bail.

This is not from that guy, this is from Wack0, the Pokemon leaker.
 
Amazing leak all around. TCRF is going nuts over this.

I really hope that this winds up with us getting a pc Link's Awakening port in the vein of the SM64 one. There's been a reverse engineering project going on for a while but iirc it stalled out due to the team having issues with some really weird stuff the game was doing with entity events since it has a laundry list of entities it spawns to control scripts and such and some of them have incredibly weird behavior. I feel that commented source existing in the wild will magically resolve this problem though, and if the pc-side map editor is in that source leak too we could be in for a good time.

Nintendo brought it on themselves though with Zelda by directly referencing Ocarina of Time in Wind Waker, prior to that I and I assume most people probably assumed there wasn't any real continuity between the Zeldas save for direct sequels until Nintendo threw that in, making people wonder.

As far as Mario goes I see no reason to assume the timeline isn't simply the order of when the games released, I do think all of the Mario games are the same continuity, but that's not something you can deeply analyze.
