https://gofile.io/d/sY71aeIt's not every day you get a prototype of a first party Nintendo game, especially not one where basically everything about it is different to the final game.Also packaged on Disk 2 is a character editor for people who like tinkering.Enjoy :)
thanks for the dolphin porn OP
>>12068812You could just link to the original source, you know:https://hiddenpalace.org/Battle_Battle_League_(1992_prototype)Joy Mech Fight is a top five Famicom game for me, so this is exciting news. To my understanding, the development lore behind this game is that Nintendo held a game design contest / seminar / proto-game-jam as a way to recruit recent collage grads as future talent for the company. The winning entry was adapted into Joy Mech Fight and published by Nintendo. My assumption is that this proto is what the original developers submitted to Nintendo's contest (hence why the title screen says "Nintendo Game Seminar"). Its been a while since I've looked into this so this might not be true, but I remember reading that the original proto was developed by two college students in the span of only two weeks. With that in mind, this proto is very impressive.
>>12068886Never knew that backstory, thanks for sharing anon
interesting. I suppose it's on FDS, in 1992, because that was easier than to make homebrew carts?
>>12068812>>12068886How did a random furfag from bluesky get his hands on this?
>>12069339They have a lot of time and money on their hands from unemployment benefits.
>>12068812Is it just me or do only charge inputs and lariats (A+B) work in this build? I've yet to successfully perform a quarter circle or half circle move.Also, why do I have to press DOWN to block? That's blasphemy.
>>12069339Its not unheard of for Japanese collectors to buy a prototype, dump it, and instead of releasing the ROM, use their dump to make physical copies of the proto and sell them for thousands of dollars. This was dumped from a regular FDS disk, so I'd wager this is an example of that. The person who dumped it said they bought it from an auction site.One of the proto's original developers, Syuzou Kousaka, still has their copy of it. A few years ago, he posted videos of it to his Twitter and Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezgbQ2HQdfAWe know there are at least two copies (Kousaka's and the one that got dumped), but FDS games are very easy to make copies of so it wouldn't surprise me to learn there are a bunch more.>>12070302Here's every move in the proto. You are correct. Quarter and half circle moves do not seem to have been implemented yet.
