Latest Nintendo leak involves the N64, including Luigi in Mario 64 and early look at Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Yesterday brought us another substantial Nintendo leak. Game protoypes, source code, and other data began to spread online. If that wasn’t enough, we found out about a pitch for an online Pokemon PC title and were able to get an early look at some classic games, including beta sprites and early designs.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, yet another major Nintendo leak has turned up today. The latest one is all about the N64 such as the system’s operating system and lots of games.
We’ve previously heard from Shigeru Miyamoto that Nintendo experimented with splitscreen multiplayer in Super Mario 64 featuring Luigi. However, today’s leak brings us further confirmation.

Given the leaks that have taken place over the past day or so, it wouldn’t be surprising if further developments emerge. We’ll monitor the situation for any other notable findings.
