The ads quality looks much better, at 4:13 - 4:42 the shadows need to be slightly adjusted to reveal the background better, I think rewriting the Nintendos copyright logos and adding them back is also the only known best way to make them look more modern btw.

[@MASF_]

Me being 33, this is the first time I've ever seen footage of Spaceworld 2000 in this stunning quality. I'm used to seeing the pixelated washed out footage from two decades ago.

[@Sakamoto196]

Much of that footage is owned by media outlets that don't want to share anything.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Considering that in Japan, keep in mind, KZbin and video platforms didn't exist for a good 4 years or so, and it is very difficult to get copies of the press shows like Spaceworld and such. And even then, many would hold onto it and never share it with the world for many decades after it has happened.

[@nappkins9346]

Spaceworld and E3 2000 always stick out in my memory. I spent hours staring at screehshots in magazines of all this. Pure magic. Thanks. X

[@returningwhisper]

Me too. The wait for the Gamecube was agonizing, definitely my most anticipated console launch.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

I personally would have been happy with the PS2, considering it came out a year before the gamecube did.

What amazing quality! So cool to see all the footage so crisp. Every time I see that GameCube reveal it makes me want that pink cube so bad… it’s gotta be sitting around in the world somewhere. Crazy this footage was just lurking on a random DVD haha. Great upload as usual boss! 😎🙏

Seeing Perfect Dark in here makes me wonder how far along the Perfect Dark GameCube release was, and I didn't even realize they were planning on one

[@X2011racer]

​@@Festivus_Miracle It's probably a design study and not an indication of a Perfect Dark sequel in development. That model would be reworked somewhat for the X02 announcement of Microsoft's acquisition of Rare Ltd.

Stuff like this being found through old Japanese gaming magazines always makes me wonder what we're still missing out on. Also, I'm squeeing at the cute Mario 128 voices at the end... Thank you...

[@_DanielPrieto]

3:40 It's mind blowing to see flashes from the cameras that were actually taking photos of the presentation. The only photos we saw in magazines almost 24 years ago.

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

This the equivalent of unearthing an ancient lost relic of the videogame world.

[@Ptitmalle]

24 years ago, I was 15 years old. The fight Link and Ganondorf was the coolest thing ever ! Thanks man, its nice to watch that again.👍

[@siderinc]

And then we got wind waker with cel shaded graphics... Which is an awesome game and the graphics are very good, but there was quite some backlash before it's release.

Thank you so much for posting this without any intro or bumper or “don’t forget to like comment and subscribe.” Really appreciate this artifact of Nintendo. I love it.

Im SO FREAKIN GLAD they appreciated 60 fps video back then. When things became digital you were lucky to even get 24 fps video. Long live Video Tape standards

[@BigOlSmellyFlashlight]

it was almost always 60 fps - "archivists" just tend to naively downsample captures to 30fps before uploading

[@SilverXTikal]

@@BigOlSmellyFlashlight I grew up in that gen I remember things were better and simpler. VHS is the reason I appreciate 60 FPS so much as when digital came out at 15 FPS I was like… Wait we’re evolving backwards?

[@trinitybingham2406]

I swear the pokemon footage in the gamecube trailer reminds me of the end scene from pokemon channel... Very nice find. Its cool to see that strange button layout they had for the original gamecube controller. Glad to see this preserved.

[@BlazeHeartPanther]

It in a way did get used in Pokemon Channel as part of the ending for the Pichu Bros short that was part of the game.

That's because the Rare buyout by Microsoft was in 2002, two full years after this presentation.

I just find it weird that they were apparently teasing Perfect Dark Zero, right after the original came out. (It took over 5 years for PDZ to actually release, and as we know, it was... not exactly close to the original plans.)

I always loved watching videos on KZbin that talked about Space World 2000 and showed footage. I was always intrigued by it and I never thought I'd be able to see and hear it in such high quality. Thank you Hard4Games!

[@FairyKid64]

I appreciate the upload! The image clarity is great! I just wish you had uploaded the original 4:3 video instead of forcing the 4:3 video to fit in a 16:9 aspect ratio window. KZbin does let us upload 4:3 videos without the black bars on the sides. This video would be way cool on a 4:3 CRT, but this 16:9 window looks bad on a 4:3 display since there's black bars around the entire 4:3 video. Sorry - this is just a pet peve of mine, and a lot of KZbinrs do it. But either way - thanks for the upload! Something, even if it's not perfect, is better than nothing!

[@pwnage765]

I remember seeing that link and ganondorf footage thinking there's no way we would get such a gorgeous Zelda on the GameCube.

[@WilfredCthulu]

This is so friggin cool. I've always been fascinated by everything at this event in particular. The beta Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario 128. I mean just look at how much Melee took from this event and no one really talks about it. Like Ganondorf in that game is just him from HERE. That's wild!

@@dragonwarriorz1 - I ended up loving Wind Waker but when people bring up that many Zelda fans hated the art style they forget to mention that the fight between Link & Ganondorf at this event is what caused it.

I can see something interesting about Metroid animation now that we have this footage in this stuning quality: Samus is not there. I mean, Samus render aparently was made separated from background, bc her moves, perspective angle and speed when she come out doesnt match with the place and those monsters. Its weird, but fascinant.

In terms of dedicated gaming hardware, I still think that the GC is probably the most attractive console ever designed, and the GBA is probably the most attractive handheld. 2000 era Nintendo really knocked it out of the park in terms of hardware aesthetics.
