A YouTube video with VHS footage from Nintendo's Japanese Space World show from 1995 has seemingly given us our first-ever look at the multiplayer mode with Luigi that never saw the light of day in Super Mario 64.

Can't wait for them to sell this in a new package with other half-assed Mario ports for $60.

Can't wait for fans to make a better product than their port in every way, only for it to get demolished by Nintendo lawyers less than 70 hours after release

Yes that actually happened just a few days ago. Shit like this is why it's always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games

I mean, there are 3 big multiplayer mods for sm64 that I can think of offhandedly. Nintendo has been hands-off with them for at least 5 years now.

And the SM64 PC port has existed for years at this point and has no sign of being taken down. You know why? They don't distribute copyrighted assets. The people that made the Link's Awakening port screwed up, plain and simple. There's no other explanation for why their project gotten taken down and not SM64 or OoT ports, which are monumentally bigger games for Nintendo.

Source code is also copyrighted and people keep releasing "reverse-engineered" games that are just reusing original decompiled code. This MIGHT be legal in US according to some weird law people keep referencing, but pretty much guaranteed to be illegal in most of the world.

there is a reason none of those are actual products.
actually selling them would probably only make the lawyer's job easier.

For putting people in jail/prison and also suing them for millions that they probably will never have, sure.

Just for DMCA it's not needed at all considering they can just strike anything that pops up in a search (and they likely do this via a mostly-hands-off script), I would not be surprised if they had striked games about celebrities that happen to have a common name that is the same as a character trademarked by N. If it was still a fan game N would probably get away with it no challenge unless said celebrity actually stepped in to defend it.

I think it was 2401, so you are a tiny bit off.

Didn’t the DS re-release have multiplayer? I remember playing as Yoshi but I’m not positive if it was different gameplay or just different graphics.

Not in the main game, but there was a battle mode I think. I know you could have multiple people running around some small island.

I don’t think it had multiplayer but it did have different playable characters (with Yoshi — not Mario — being the default).
