Nintendo Spaceworld 2000: The Ultimate Video (2023) Unseen & Remastered Footage

[@AdamDoree]

Re: CHAPTERS... YT is constantly removing/restoring chapters on all my videos for no reason -- infuriating, especially on long videos like this - pls see description for chapters if they're not working.

[@kit7une_]

4:29 Huh, the GameCube originally had a window to see the disc! Also that pink GameCube looks cool, shame it never released.

[@Owlero]

That Gamecube reveal was incredible.

[@johneygd]

When the year 2000 was just the future🤣

[@johneygd]

The year 2000 was and will be (in most cases) a better year then 2024 and 2025,2026 and beyond. Just mark my words🤣

[@val_bones]

I like how you can only hear a few people clap after the epic performance.

[@DarkCloudCompendium]

It's crazy the amount of footage you have in your archives, thank you for sharing this with us all 🙌🏼😊

[@AdamDoree]

My pleasure!!

[@Rtech17353]

Bro put lost media to shame, we now have the BEST of the BEST recordings of Spaceworld! Thank you so so so much for these uploads, hope more will reach the surface some day ❤

[@AdamDoree]

Ha thank you and yep there's still more to come

[@MrDmoney156]

[@PKSuperStar256]

I'm still hoping for high quality footage of that Game Boy Color prototype of Starfy.

[@leftyfourguns]

Perfect Dark on the GameCube, oh what could've been... : (

[@stuckin2000sdude]

All of these demos look amazing, even for 2000/2001 standards. The Luigi’s Mansion and Mario 128 demos are one of my favorites. I wish I was there too lol, I think there’s also an English version of Meowth’s Party made for a Pokémon TV show reusing the SpaceWorld 2000 footage and adding new ones.

[@KururuJi]

It was used in Pokemon Channel, actually!

[@rodmunch69]

The reveal looks like a skit from Zoolander. Literally had me laughing. Man was the 90s and very early 2000s an awesome time.

[@cosmosofinfinity]

Digital Foundry brought me here, fantastic work

[@AdamDoree]

Ha, glad they gave this a shout -- they might have been too kind on the remastering efforts though!

[@Halcos]

Legendary, unforgettable show. Thank you

I think i spotted Gus Rodriguez (Club nintendo mexico founder and nintendomania host) on the minute 38:37!

Nintendo Gamecube is my first and last love! This video makes me feel happy and excited like I did on launch day! Man, I'm glad I still have everything! Such an underrated console! Thank you for sharing brother!

[@AdamDoree]

You're welcome! And OMG chapters just returned to my channel suddenly!

[@_SYDGAMING_]

Wow this is truly legendary

[@PikachuLover0927]

Bless you for remastering and showing unseen lost media. Thank you very much for sharing ^^❤

[@AdamDoree]

Happy to do it!

[@BooBanana]

Now that’s how you reveal a console! Thank you for putting in the effort for this and helping to preserve gaming history. So glad we finally get to see this in high quality.

[@AdamDoree]

I agree, this might be the "best console unveil ever", for all its cheese it was a lot of fun, which is what this kind of thing is supposed to be all about. It also helped that they managed to keep the name and the design of the console and the controller totally secret until the reveal. Before the reveal, we only knew that it was a cube and might be called something cube (Starcube was the word on the street in the hours or days or two before the conference). I'm glad you like the video and please stay tuned for more.

[@ADreamingTraveler]

Thank you so much for uploading this. There's other guys who have unseen footage like this and refuse to ever show it for some reason. Thanks again because this stuff is super cool to see and is also great for archival reasons in the future

[@AdamDoree]

Probably cos it's a lot of work... but not if you're having fun doing it!

[@stardumb3220]

I could project this onto a cinema screen, God damn this is good quality

[@AdamDoree]

Before hitting publish I usually test how my videos look on a 77" oled in the hope it looks ok on there!!

[@JordantheDWandNBCfan5982]

I hope Etsy has a custom GameCube prototype controller with prototype letter font, and a red spear start/pause button.

[@kaplisisdx8651]

Thank you for uploading this footage! A blast from the past! Waiting for the "dolphin" and GBA at the time, while enjoying the more "expansive" late N64 and GBC games was exciting!

[@defurutime]

@1.56 Per Schneider, Craig Harris & Matt Casamassina of IGN

[@AdamDoree]

Ha, I was wondering when the celeb-spotting would start. Peer & IGN crew are in the video again later, bonus points if anyone can spot where. Well done to VideoDojoPro for spotting Jeff Gerstmann. Zero points for Chris Stamper (co founder of Rare) which is specifically called out :). There are quite a few others, but unless folks worked in the biz at the time will probably go unnamed...!

[@cakehoarder]

Amazing!

[@MCWiirdo]

Have I seen you somewhere on KZbin before?

[@Oni64]

30:53 quick glimpse of Too Human logo on the TV screen.

[@THE_VictoryPictures]

6:30 I love how people are raving about WaveRace and Metroid one moment and once Star Wars Rogue Squadron appears there’s dead silence.

[@AdamDoree]

I wonder if Star Wars may have been announced before the show happened, i.e. only the Nintendo IP was a "surprise" for the crowd

[@rodmunch69]

The Japanese are inherently a racist country, and this was a Japanese event. To soil that with a western movie game title, well, we saw the results.

[@AdamDoree]

Not really dude, the only media making any noise were western media/guests. The Japanese guests don't behave that way at least back then. So you are hearing the western response to what was shown, for better or worse.

[@lowmax4431]

This is one is gonna go viral.

[@AdamDoree]

I wish - KZbin algo is still pretty much "who tf is this guy".

[@vegetafan9922]

6:36 Oh... those poor people who are going to be disappointed at next year's SpaceWorld because they expected the next Zelda to look like that instead of the toon style of Wind Waker.

[@MrDmoney156]

yep! and that's what kickstarted the hatred of the Gamecube for gamers of that time period

[@KOOPAS1234]

Wasn't the N64 games like cartoony already?

[@usagishade]

Didyouknowgaming can finally have clean footage when they go over obscure GameCube facts 😭

[@AdamDoree]

Games media has sent me a lot of viewers so happy to help them in return!

[@Tomtycoon]

1:56, Look at young Peer Schneider

[@LordYggdrasill]

Yes indeed, "best show ever." I could only wish that Nintendo would return to this approach for impressive graphics and tech demos. Now their approach consists of old tech with new gimmicks.

[@AdamDoree]

yeah, I too wish N's games looked like the Mario movie - and maybe they will in 5 gens from now - but also happy to know they're so stable they'll be making games forever, instead of making the next Cell processor. Realistically though, I do wish for a balance, that they would push themselves on visual fidelity in the next cycle.

[@LordYggdrasill]

@@AdamDoree Yeah - I mean, I still want them to try to innovate as they've done countless times throughout their history; however, instead of generally keeping up with the industry standard of graphics, size 2006 with the Wii, they've decided to be at least 1-2 generations behind that curve. Just yesterday, it was reported that Bobby Kotick (Acti-Blizz CEO) said Nintendo's next console will be close to Gen 8 in power... so, if that's true, it's another half-step after the current gen consoles enter their 3rd or 4th year. I like that Switch is portable, but now that it's been so successful, I don't see them ditching that functionality with their next console, which results in more bottlenecking. I'd gladly trade off console portability for PS5 graphics on a new Wave Race or F-Zero, but we haven't even seen these franchises since the GameCube.

04:14 2 bad by michael jackson

[@geometricentric]

i’m sad that they didn’t keep the disc lid window :(

[@captainvictoria7640]

I think the program being used at 10:45 would be an insane find. They made it just for the showcase, didn't they?

[@Max25670]

It's too bad the gamecube didn't stick with the original design and having that small window on top to see the disc inside. Also we never got the hot pink gamecube. I wonder if anyone owns those prototypes.

[@totallynotmichael1137]

Thanks so much for sharing this! I do have a question though. Would you happen to have footage of Spaceworld 1995 archived somewhere? I'd love to see it in High Quality someday!

[@AdamDoree]

I'm afraid 95 was a year before I started in games media and 4 years before I started going to Japan!

[@neko_samurai]

Wow, I remember Kikizo. I think you guys were the ones that kept teasing a Shenmue III back when there was literally nothing credible to support it. Since the Dreamcast died, to the Original Xbox, to the 360, till your site closed pretty much. Thanks for this Spaceworld footage though. :P

[@kamikazilucas]

i guess gamecube was very behind closed doors

[@AdamDoree]

Yah there were no traces of GameCube on public days at Spaceworld 2000, but I think that changed at Spaceworld 2001.

[@kamikazilucas]

@@AdamDoree thanks for replying, btw what method did you use to deinterlace the video without it loosing resolution

[@AdamDoree]

@@kamikazilucas My take is Premier is pretty good at handling interlaced DV source material for progressive output, which is what these tapes were - as compared to a DVD rip for example which definitely requires its own standalone deinterlacing step to avoid ugly/obvious combing artifacts (when I have done that on a small portion of other videos -- due to archives being DVD video based -- I used "Handbrake", but didn't on any of this DV-based material). Semi related, there is also the issue my DV source tapes in the early days were all PAL. On that, here is what I posted in a response on my Mario 128 video: "basically the deinterlaced "50fps" is expanded to 60fps using Premier frame sampling in a 60fps timebase project (so duplicated frames, not blended frames or inserted mid frames), however, the "ghosting" effect that can be seen in some of the motion is not resampling related, but originally existed in the the raw DV source footage, i.e. just the way it was shot... perhaps in part because PAL(50) cam I used on those days cam was used to shoot NTSC(60) screen (though you can still pick up "ghosting" even when shooting NTSC on NTSC!). Basically, if we had direct feed of these Spaceworld demos, you would not see ghosting. Unless we are talking about Luigi's Mansion one, which definitely has some ghost effects."

and there was no translator in the show to help non japanese people to understand what was being said?

[@AdamDoree]

No, all foreign media had the option to use radio ear pieces, into which NCL PR guru Yasuhiro Minagawa translated the whole thing. Sadly we were unable to capture it. In my Ken Kutaragi keynote videos, you can see that in later years I learned how to capture direct feed audio at these events even in dual language (and direct feed audio+video at major conferences). Sadly that was beyond my knowledge in 2000, I was really just winging it.

Does anyone have an original copy or a complete video of Mario 128 (a direct digital video, not a show)?

[@AdamDoree]

The demo section of this video is pretty much 99.9% "complete", as for whether Nintendo issued a direct feed of it, the answer is yes but only a very short clip and only in the bad web quality of the era at source (in other words, far worse than these offscreen captures in my videos). There was no direct feed video link on site at the conference itself, AFAIK.

[@JoryKorvid]

Striking other historic uploads of this was real loser behavior Shame on you Adam Thanks for the footage I guess 🙄

[@AdamDoree]

Some people have been asking me about "copyright strikes" which is not accurate. Allow me to clarify some points: while I'm happy people have wanted to share my content over the years (a lot of which has always been available on my site), I've been putting my content on my own YT channel, at much better source quality -- that's better for fans, and fairer for me as I put all the work in originally (I personally recorded this footage in 2000, and if I hadn't, there would be no record of things like the Banjo clip, period) -- people may not realize that material like this represents a vast amount of work, effort and financial expense over the years, yet 100s of my videos (including very short and low quality clips from this video), have been uploaded to other people's YT channels over the years without permission, and I ignored it, until now as I'm making source material officially available on my YT. I'm not a big channel and not even monetized, but fair is fair. I'm also NOT not issuing "strikes" (which the person who claimed that has since clarified), YT only offers two ways to handle this, a nice way and a strike; I'm doing the nice way (and even reaching out to individual channels in some cases where possible!), and most uploaders have been very supportive and understanding. I've also seen someone question the copyright of some clips without really understanding how copyright works: yes, the recording shows IP owned by the relevant companies, but the recording itself is my work/copyright, which YT obviously recognizes too -- whereas none of the other users who have uploaded my video(s) to their channels, actually spent the money to go to Japan, figure out what was hot at Spaceworld and film it, or originally publish/distribute the video (which, in 2000s era, was extremely expensive btw). And all of this applies to 1000s of my other videos too. So I want to get back to people enjoying this stuff. I think it’s pretty obvious that I care about preservation which is why I maintain an extensive archive and keep adding more source quality stuff to YT, in parallel to that I also don't want countless low quality reposts of my stuff out there when I have published the real thing; there's a fine line between preservation and ripping off with no added value/context whatsoever which is basically what the 7 channels who posted the Banjo clip have all done (by contrast, there are other channels who have made videos about Rare IP of the era and used my old clip in a fair use editorial context, which is generally fine and I would never raise an issue on reasonable use of content). Again this is not about monetization (I am also unmonetized), this is about internationally recognized standards of fair use on content that "someone" originally went to the effort to record and publish.
