Unseen News

Here’s an early beta of Metroid Prime Hunters and the Sonic DS Tech Demo from E3 2004:

Metroid Prime Hunters [Beta]:

We know that Too Human for the X360 will not be exactly like the original project, but at least it’s coming out in some form (and it could be fun!). The unseen news is that the full 4 player coop multiplayer has been cut-off, and now it seems that only 2 friends will be able to play togheter to kill millions of robots-aliens-things. On Kotaku we read that “When Silicon Knights and Denis Dyack showed off the epic Too Human to IGN last year, the outlet was right to call its four-player cooperative multiplayer mode “ambitious.” The feature has been scaled back, Microsoft revealed today, keeping Too Human’s campaign buddy system limited to just two players.” I wonder if they will be able to finish the trilogy or we should already prepare for some unreleased sequels.

Below is a video of the Beta version of the nintendo DS game, Elite Beat Agents (EBA). The beta shows many small differences that weren’t present in the final version of the game. These many things include flames on the bottom of the touch screen for a certain amount of consecutive beats, pink circles for completing song sections, different girls in the car and different transitions used. Some audio differences are also in place. Those include different voices (such as the announcer at the start that says “Mission” and a few sound effects.

Super Mario Galaxy has made its debut into the gaming world, won various awards and all the excitement has died down, I still get a huge smile on my face when ever I play it. In fact, posters and other assorted items are all around my room. I first began watching videos and other media in August of 07, I had just gotten my Wii, but I haven’t heard about the game until the end of August. From the videos I began to watch, I saw the STARWORLD Galaxy, Gale Galaxy and various other videos. I never put the perspective of Beta into my head until December of 07, when I finally beat the game completly. I noticed that some of the levels I saw on youtube never were in the game, I got hard to work and learned about the beta’s. Below I have compiled all my information. This is my first report so don’t expect something awesome. Read the rest of this entry »

MajorTom could be one of our favourite beta geeks: he has sent to us a new description for the Yoshi’s Island beta page, and we have added it to the archive! You can read it in here. Thanks again Tom! :) In the meantime we have added a couple of new screens in these galleries: New Super Mario Bros, Mario Galaxy, Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Comanche and Mission Impossibile 64.
