We've preserved a late prototype build of WWF No Mercy published by THQ for the Nintendo 64. The label on the front of the cartridge dates this build as being two or so months before release, so differences within are minimal. Massive thanks to Baker64 for sending this in!

As promised, a new VHS capture, and this one's another N64 promo! This one covers the '97 spring line-up and happens to include some snippets of some as of yet undocumented prototype OoT footage! Special thanks to @togemet2 helping me nab this tape

These builds are based on the WiiWare version, with the series not seeing a rerelease on a handheld Nintendo system until years later on the 3DS, where gameplay was based on the much newer PC version. Notably, the ROMs metadata was lifted from Worms: Open Warfare 2.

We've preserved three prototype builds for the cancelled Nintendo DS port of puzzle platformer Toki Tori, developed by Two Tribes! This game centers around a young chick who needs to carefully solve a route in order to collect all of their younger siblings, who are still in eggs.

We've preserved another prototype of the Nintendo DS firmware! This one is ver 0.40615, and is much earlier than the one we released a few months back, missing various settings. Something fun to note is that there are blood type selection settings which never appeared in retail!

The browser used by the majority of i-mode phones is based on a very old version of NetFront. This may be prone to exploits found in the past for NetFront browsers on handhelds. If you can help with this, DM me! An exploit could be used across many phones to save many lost games.

We've preserved a Japanese store demo for New Super Mario Bros! Unlike the other demos for this game, it has no time limit and you are able to save your progress. This version was created in late 2009 for use with Nintendo DSi XL kiosks. Thanks to

Have you seen me? A Japanese prototype for Animal Crossing: Wild World just sold during an online auction. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we were unable to secure it. If you were the top bidder and would like to get the contents backed up, our DMs are open!
