Luigi's Mansion Beta Restoration V1.0 (Playthrough)

[@shylar763]

The beta of this game is fascinating to me, if only we could somehow actually play the original beta, but I doubt Nintendo would ever release it

[@KartKing4ever]

They won't. That's why the Nintendo Giga Leak is one of the best things to happen for video game preservation.

[@videotape2959]

Someone should have snagged that E3 disc _Sonic 2_ style.

[@Knapperoni]

If the gigaleak is any indication, Nintendo definitely still has the assets (in addition, the WarioWare: Get It Together minigame has some of the beta furniture assets used, fully confirming that they still have the beta somewhere)

[@10001kr]

One day someone will make a full version of this beta

[@sanchezfamilytube]

I dought they still even have the original beta to be honest.

[@joshyjosh1990]

It was disappointing that Luigi’s Mansion 2 and 3 abandoned this aesthetic. Thats why the first game will never be topped.

[@bubsy101bchips8]

what about the leaked Luigi's Mansion beta disk.

[@spunchii134]

Not to speak of how much goofier they made the games.

[@joshyjosh1990]

@@spunchii134 that definitely hurt the franchise as well. I honestly hate how Nintendo started making their games so family friendly after the GCN generation. The Cube was such a great console since Nintendo was still catering to a more grown up audience.

[@spunchii134]

@@joshyjosh1990 I played the 3rd one and omg is it bad. The constant interruption for some childish jokes just drove me insane. The bosses all suck and are so dragged out . The back tracking that people complained about in the first game, is nothing compared to how it is in the 3rd game, but you don't hear about that. Terrible game, wish i never bought it.

[@emirkara8660]

​@spunchii134 considering one of the unused files of Luigis mansion 1 (elh.szp) yea the games got goofier.

[@StarwayBunny]

My one complaint with this restoration is the music doesn't get slower with low health. That is something that was seen to happen in beta footage. Other then that, it literally looks like a perfect recreation. (Edit: Also there's no opening cinematic, but that would be very hard to recreate.)

[@OmegaChase1002]

Well it is only v. 1.0

[@StarwayBunny]

@@OmegaChase1002 Yeah true.

[@asra-5180]

Don't you mean... HEARD to happen?

[@zeusthefox1585]

Seeing the poltergusts Overheat function makes me wonder if the money was used to upgrade it instead of for endings. Kinda like Luigi's mansion 2

[@evanrutledge-sz4yo]

Anyone else like this ghost design better then the final? It looks way creepier and haunting; it looks more transparent and uncanny, like it doesn’t belong.

[@sammyjaohnson5631]

Yeah and the alpha ghost looks even creeper then the beta

[@unde4dmemesauce]

The ghosts also weren't color coded like in the final. Basically, in the beta/alpha, any ghost could be any color. That would have been so much cooler if they kept it.

[@thanksgivingtorakaonandcoo5411]

Luigi can also use the spaceworld 2000 scream in Japanese Commerical

The chef ghost was once planned for the kitchen. Wish they didn't cut it.

[@talonthehedgehog3274]

Yeah. And we would’ve seen what he did with that “tomato” if we had more screenshots instead of just that lonely screenshot.

[@SYXX-II]

​@talonthehedgehog3274, tbh it's most likely he just threw it at luigi to attack him, lol

[@greentoesbstatus4325]

At least we have chef soulfle.

[@portalfreak7628]

Ok, but why is the song for Gadd's lab unironically a bop that makes me wanna hear it in a car with hydraulics pumping up and down to the bass that's blaring out of the oversized speakers

[@unde4dmemesauce]

Because you SHOULD do that since it is a huge bop!

[@elluciano5808]

I can see that overheat mechanic getting annoying very quickly... But other than that, nice recreation.

[@Ivanegarcia]

Good thing that it was removed from the finalized version of the game. Otherwise the fight with Boolossus (The 3rd boss battle) would have been too hard!

[@maxwellattacks6645]

​@@Ivanegarcia yeah that fight is BS as is

[@Ivanegarcia]

@@maxwellattacks6645 10:17 I’m also glad that those purple Basher ghosts aren’t in the final version either. They would be so annoying! 😖

[@tjautomatin4145]

Watch this in 144P and it's perfectly recreated

[@MaikaSakuranomiyaBlendS]

I've lost track of many times I've seen gameplay of this beta restoration. To say that it's well made wouldn't be justice. The attention to detail, to research, to recreate it as accurate as possible based on information and few footage is something to admire in its own right.

[@enriquemedina6055]

Luigi's mansion final versión: 😃👍 Luigi's mansion beta versión: 🌚

[@gandalfgaming4575]

Awesome mod! It's a great recreation and i can't see any differences.

[@raymondrivers4482]

Only time limit in this beta version.

[@talonthehedgehog3274]

@@raymondrivers4482Yeah. The text of what E.Gadd was saying at the end could be very different from what was actually said by him during the end of the demo.

[@SleepyIceman6472]

This mod pretty much makes you gun it around the mansion to get as much done as possible due to the time limit.

[@cryptoektral7695]

yes. It reminds me of Dead Rising, but it would more realistic form Luigi´s POV to be done as quickly as possible. It would´ave been cool if it remained, just a longer timer to keep us stressed but also to allow us to enjoy

[@yohanndemeester454]

funny how music is creepier when room is lighted up

[@petergriscom3431]

It suits the clock mechanic well, because you don't want to stick around in a cleared room with music that creepy.

[@justinbarton8808]

Beta is way more creepier than the original. Would have scared kids too much. The music is so unsettling.

[@codezero7981]

it was allegedly supposed to be rated T

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

Kinda wish we had a kids game with this type of atmosphere assuming there aren’t any.

[@WhiteStars12]

Honestly, those ghosts look better in this version. They look more graphically impressive than the ones in the final game. I also really like the music this version has for when you clear a room. Way creepier than the final game.

[@tolstartheking]

That title screen is nightmare fuel. 😬

[@OhKayEl]

Wario was the one who essentially leaked the beta assets of this game (sounds like something he would do not gonna lie).

[@destroyermcw626]

Freaking love that guy and the fact he is good

[@aaronhooper7967]

I think the beta version is a lot creepier than the official version its like lost video game creepy pasta material

[@talonthehedgehog3274]

This is really a great recreation of the beta. It’s got the early title screen, early ghost designs, early music, early mechanics, the early game boy horror with the demo time limit, and of course, all the boarded up doors which prevented players from accessing unfinished parts of the game, like the Anteroom, The Twin’s Room, The Ball Room, The Conservatory, The Billiard’s Room, The Laundry Room, The Fortune Teller’s Room, and the stairs to the basement. And there were also the crates blocking the player’s path to the Rec Room and the 2nd and 3rd floors of the mansion. This is a very well done recreation, minus the opening cutscene, but I know that would be very difficult to do. Overall, this is a great recreation of the Luigi’s Mansion beta. Excellent job to “Portable Productions” and her amazing team who made this!🎉

[@TongPik3]

when the portable has production

[@motorwayt-s628]

Between his model and his “hee hee” in this version, Luigi really reminds me of an Aardman character

[@BlaireFagerland]

10:17 _AAAGHH!!!_ (If they kept the Basher in the game, that would've been frustrating or players)

[@haldosprime3896]

Definitely annoying if it appeared while fighting but the game gives two clear signs of it. The flashing light above the timer goes wild when ghosts are near, invisible included, and there’s a flame that spawns a good few seconds before it spooks you. Any cautious player would be able to react unless they’re completely distracted in a fight. 11:27 Luigi just walks right by the same one he got spooked by earlier and it doesn’t spawn so it was only an issue if you were standing around. I don’t think they would’ve been that a problem in isolation.

[@AbareKillerFan-yo7pe]

10:17 I'm glad the Basher didn't made it to the final game because it would be a little...unfair

[@haldosprime3896]

Unless it appeared in a hectic fight, it’s not unfair at all. The game gives two clear signs of it. The flashing light above the timer goes wild when ghosts are near, invisible included, and there’s a flame that spawns a good few seconds before it spooks you. Any cautious player would be able to react unless they’re completely distracted in a fight. 11:27 Luigi just walks right by the same one he got spooked by earlier and it doesn’t spawn so it was only an issue if you were standing around. It’s not unfair, it’s punishing when you’re not paying attention.

[@emefcue]

this is so cool!i always really enjoyed the original music

[@unde4dmemesauce]

I like how the ghosts in the beta weren't color coded like in the final. Any ghost being any color is a W mechanic in my opinion. Wish they didn't color code ghosts.

[@AteIes]

Where is Beta 64 when we need him the most 😭

[@ChickenMcKicken]

that overheat feature for the poltergeist sounded really annoying tbh

[@steamboatwille]

I love how luigi could get flinged onto the chair😂

[@flickerflame85]

It’s interesting to see that the layout of the mansion has always seemed to stay the same.

As I saw in another video, can you imagine how difficult and frustrating those mechanics would have been in the final version? I would have loved the game as it looks here!!! Good mood but too bad!!!

[@madm3rt989]

God, this overheating mechanic looks so annoying. So glad they removed it.

[@Whocares158]

I know, right can you imagine how annoying that would have been.

[@codezero7981]

it would've been hell to play it like that in the Hidden Mansion challenge

[@petergriscom3431]

Doesn't seem to be an issue while vacuuming ghosts due to how much faster their hp drops. Worst comes to worst, you'd just have multiple cycles to catch a portrait ghost/boss, which already is the case in the release version. If anything, the Beta is much faster paced and kinda arcade-like.

[@haldosprime3896]

@@petergriscom3431I agree it doesn’t seem to be an issue. Ghosts have super low Hp compared to the final game and there shouldn’t be that many times that you’re spraying and praying your vacuum unless it’s for coins, and then I could see it being a problem (unless treasure takes longer to despawn or you can upgrade the vacuum)

Are the mechanics to catch ghosts different? In the released game, you had to constantly tug the control stick on the opposite direction of the ghost to drain its health. Here, it seems you only need to hold it?
