View some new footage of the cancelled N64 title Freak Boy
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Videos | 4 Comments
In 1996, Virgin Interactive Entertainment revealed Freak Boy for the N64. The game would have featured “three-dimensional graphics, addicting play mechanics and cutting-edge technology that uses morphing special effects,” according to the original announcement.
Freak Boy never actually made it to market. It did appear at E3 1996, but the game ended up seeing cancellation soon after. Virgin Interactive Entertainment intended to have Freak Boy ready for early 1997.
Freak Boy is back in the news roughly two decades later, as an Unseen64 reader found and purchased an early prototype of the project from a flea market. You can find several clips below.

Fan working on The Legend of Zelda Maker

One fan is building on the success of Super Mario Maker with a similar project for PC. The Legend of Zelda Maker, which is currently in alpha, can be downloaded from Dropbox here or Mediafire here.
Creator Dream Mix wrote in the game’s YouTube description:
“Zelda Maker (Temp) is a non-official project started by myself, which will allow players to create and share Legend of Zelda worlds of their own. Nintendo will cease and desist a project like this, so in time, when I’ve got the ability to change the sprites, I will do so, and I will also add things that Zelda games don’t have to make it a somewhat unique experience. Regardless, I won’t be acting like this isn’t going to be a Zelda (Maker?) clone, through and through. I’d just like to add some things that I think official Zelda games could use. This is a very early build of the game, and it does not represent what the final game will look like.”
You know how these sorts of things tend to go. Fan projects like these don’t usually sit well with Nintendo, so the Big N might be looking to pull the plug on this pretty soon.
