SOUL. I really wish Nintendo would pull a Sonic Mania and make another Mario in the style of SMW. It really was the peak for side-scrolling Mario. They could add a few modern touches from the 'new' series like wall kicks and ground pounds, but still return to the soulful artstyle and world map

Wasn't because the game whole game was leaked 1 year before launch and Gabe went full autism and started everything again?

No, the leak contained a bunch of assets and a small scripted presentation area but nothing that was put together yet.

they rushed out the final game cause the beta that leaked was extremely unfinished, so they cut like 90% of content and you got a boring short game

That's what i thought originally but appealing to a wider audience seems plausible, though I don't know if it was in their character at the time

Why were old N64 games the best for intriguing beta content? Rareware especilly

Arkham City?

I think the limitation of the hardware gave them more creative freedom to exploit what they had. More brainstorming on possible content instead of present days where most things do not need to be cut because of the technological advances.

imagine outing yourself as a beta

imagine trying this hard

Star Fox 2 was leaked on the internet years before it finally came out officially a year or two ago. A guy named Dylan Cuntbert who worked on it and the original was in charge of making Command for the DS and was asked about whether or not the version of 2 available online was close to the final version in an interview. He lied out his ass and said no, even though they really are like 95% identical. I bring all this up because the earlier versions actually were drastically different and included separate characters and even a unique objective for every planet.

Shantae 2 Risky Revolution, the greatest Shantae game i could never get to play, it was cancelled due to lack of interest which is a shame as it looked really promising, the graphics look cool and was going to have an estimated 20 hours of content with 8 chapters, 7 towns, 6 dungeons, 6 islands, 6 minigames, 10 boss battles and 4 player multiplayer battle.

All we got was Sigma Star Saga which is a great game nobody played that pushed the GBA to its absolute limits.

Risky's Revenge felt half baked, is just half of Risky Revolution with different story and level layouts handled by a different team

Halo 2 had a cut enemy

>Juggernauts were originally slated to appear in the levels "The Oracle" and "Quarantine Zone". There would never be more than one Juggernaut in any given place. Once the player eliminated it, the combat forms that were supplementing it would go "offline". The Juggernaut has four to six infection forms inside its body to control it, similar to combat forms. According to Robert McLees, the Juggernaut was supposed to be "... this uber-intelligent mini boss, but the suggested intelligence was way too high for what design needed to use it for, which was as a big tank".

Fuck that, Halo is about the difficulty

There’s one of these hidden in the 2004 Ninja Gaiden as an Easter egg.

It wasn’t just that but was too OP and killed off other enemies iirc. Also halo isn’t even that hard or about the difficulty. Only 2 coop legendary gets annoying. Reminder in halo 4 the heroic description reads the way it’s meant to be played.

Once you learn a bit about how things work it’s nigh impossible to die on heroic even...

A lot of these designs are cool but they'll never be used.

Actually, the beta wasn't rushed at all. I know that the game was meant to be out by Sep. 30th 2003, but the beta got leaked days after that deadline so it wasn't affected at all. By the time the beta was leaked Valve had already scrapped the dark and gloomy version of it for multiple reasons. Usually it's said that it was too dark originally with child workers and other stuff that when they cut out made the whole thing feel less gritty. This caused the team to completely rethink what they should have in the game leading to 2003 which was the start of the modern storyline.

The beta wasn't changed to surprised fans because it got leaked, it was already cut by then. It goes like this for the development
1999-2000: Hyper Era - You start on the Borealis, known then as the Hyperborea and make your way to C17. Not much is known about this era other than that.
2001-2002: The Gritty Era - This is the type shown the most in concept art and we know the most about. Air Exchange, Weather Control, The Borealis, etc were all in and playable at this point. Well, most were playable, some like Weather Control aren't in the beta at all because they were cut by then only being mentioned in old story fragments that are in Raising the Bar.
2003-200: Final Cut - This is the final story of the game with only minor changes to story like character names and general plot beats. Other than that everything else was set by late 2003.

Am I the ONLY one who fucking HATES hl2 beta shit?

HL2 beta stuff was interesting at first because there was a big leaked client and assets and stuff which meant there was a lot to dig through and find - but at this point, HL2, beta is SO fucking milked that it's just like, not fucking interesting anymore. It's really the opposite of like, a mario 64 beta because there's SO much known about it now that there's literally like, 0 mystery to it. Even the game's original creators have already talked about it in detail by now. There's really no more mystery to it.

And that's not even mentioning the HL2 beta "community". It's just full of insufferable retards and gatekeeper blowhards who talk big shit because oh wow I know so much about this unreleased game that came out in 2004 woaw check out these cool 128x128 textures of a window I can literally tell you where it came from haha I'm so smart

Kirby Gamecube is heavily implied by sketches in one of the artbooks to have been a successor to Kirby Super Star (with one of the games presumably having the story that we associate with that game). Based on the artbooks + some filenames, certain assets and music tracks in Return To Dream Land were most likely repurposed from that game.
It also had a character who's design would be repurposed for Morpho Knight

That's really how it is. I've been in the modding scene for a while now making big mods and shit and every fucking day we have like 3 people in my Discord say something stupid about the beta or post beta memes around.

It's not the beta isn't interesting, it is, but the only thing that these morons like to talk about is the 2001-2002 part rather than any other interesting part. You wanna talk about what 1999-2000 had in it?

"Yeah, but how did Gorden get from Boralis to the train with Samuel?"
"Where did Free TV's happen in the story? I think it was in the city riot chapter that was in the beta!"

If you're in a Half-Life Discord, don't talk about the beta, no one fucking cares about it now. Go to VCC and stay in that cesspool if you're only interested in the 2001-2002 part.

Final Fantasy XII almost had a spinoff/sequel, which involved Basch joining and defending a Fortress. Highlights include Basch impersonating Garbranth, Balthier showing up and Basch being so focused on battling his enemies that he gets cucked out of Ashe by Larsa.

I'd say it's possible. Nintendo loves to recycle assets or ideas, even if they don't get use initially.

Everythin in that PD video was in the game though

Yes and no.

Most of those assets come from the Source Developer Repository which Source developers can pay a few thousand dollars and sign an NDA to get into all of Valve's assets of Source that they've ever made. If it got leaked in full it'd be bigger than the HL2 Leak. Only problem is that it's a legally binding NDA to not post or talk about what is in there else there is legal action that can happen.

If you wanna see what happens when someone leaks those, look on the VCC Wiki for the Facepunch Leaks. People got banned because they kept demanding that people break their NDA's and get into legal trouble with Valve just to leak beta assets.

Now people like Geoff Keighley who have actual Half Life 1 press discs are tools. There have been multiple attempts to get him to give the disks or just one of them in charity streams. He's always refused. It's understandable as he is actual friends with Gabe. Best just to keep doing it and see if he finally bites.

If there are private collections of rare beta stuff that the public doesn't have (which none are known to exist) then it'd be a massive shitshow and that'd be excommunicated from the Beta Community if they refused to give out their items.

so on the off chance one did happen to have something like this but instead chose to share it, would they be thanked or would those who also have similar collections be asshurt over it?
i ask since when ive leaked things in the past certain collectors got extra butthurt about it to the point of doxxing (which was funny if you ask me) while others were more into telling those collectors who hoarded it to go fuck themselves.

im not trying to start a war im just wanting to gauge what the community is like in the event something is found. for example those dreamcast half life builds, while im sure theres plenty more, people tend to be very opposed to sharing said contents

I got no specific examples from that thread since it's all just spread around in the thread. You'd have to check out the actual thread.

At first, they'd be thanked before the person who leaked it would be asked for more to the point of people REE'ing to them. Other collector's would be butthurt because then the collection is lessened in value.

theres nothing wrong with saying "i dont have that, sorry" and from the sound of it im assuming that isnt an answer
for example i have stuff that i know others have, but im the only one with a functional copy of it, so unless they get me to share, their copy of the data is worthless. its one of these weird situations where i could use this as leverage to get other stuff they have, but i know that im the sole owner of something special.

Why do beta images have so much SOUL, Yea Forums?

>What was the reason they scrapped all of the beta content and story again?
If I'm recalling right, the dev team just didn't feel like it. Throughout development they tested concepts such as a semi-linear world with different paths to take (the old builds of d1_garage shows a bit of this) You also have to remember, this was really more of a mish-mash of concepts rather than the finalized story. I can only assume they ditched the semi-linear level ideas for either what i just said (they didnt feel like it fit in with the theme of the series), or for difficulty reasons (such as how they cut a lot of the antlion caves in EP2 because people kept getting lost)

But in the end, what happened was the concepts just didn't sit right with the people in charge of the project and they didn't think it really fit the HL series. That's when we saw the 2002 era in Half Life's development life where they turned from the original gritty and dystopian east coast city to a more Prague-like one (the city you see on the old e3_terminal map), before eventually evolving into the Eastern European City 17 we know now, far before the leak actually happened. The only reason we even have much of an idea about the earlier builds of City 17 and their original ideas was thanks to the fact the leaker nabbed the WC map (WorldCraft, the old name for hammer editor) files from Valve in the process of leaking the game.

So, tl;dr, no, it wasn't because of the leak. The gritty storyline was gone far before it. And as I'm typing this I just realized already made a good post about it but I wasted too much of my life making this post to abandon it now.

Daughters of Ash made him into a fun fight, at least.

It was a 2-handed item, so it may have limited you to using only the bow while it was equipped. Other screenshots with this UI show the sword, shield, and bombs on A and B. The game was based on the SM64 engine, so probably at this point in development they were still using C to control the camera and likely didn't have Z targeting yet.
By the way, the room in this particular screenshot is still present in the ROM. It's most easily playable when using the Master Quest debug ROM, which has been patched to fix a missing room header.

>A post on Burnout developer Criterion Games' website reveals plans for downloadable content that never made it to fruition, including boats, helicopters, time travel, and yes - Burnout on the moon.

Burnout Paradise was originally envisioned as a series of islands all connected to Paradise City through bridges (or potentially boats!), but something changed after the game was released that shifted Criterion's focus on DLC. Criterion figured Stunt Run and Ranked Racing would be the online modes everyone would be playing, but instead, players flocked to the Free Burn Challenges, so the developers shifted gears accordingly, scrapping the idea of multiple islands filled with different game types, including one marked up like an F1 course.

The other scrapped plans are even more interesting. They envisioned boats racing from island to island, planes and helicopters flying overhead, and cars versus motorcycles ala Road Rash. They considered a network of underground racing areas, and time portals that would temporarily warp you to the Old West. But by far the most out-of-this-world idea was Burnout on the moon.

do we even know how far this got into development?

Yeah, because it was the game before the switch to 3D you massive fucking retard.

I just wish Ueda would talk about this shit in detail and describe what the fights would be like. We only have brief snippets and one or two screenshots. It seems to be a common theme that japs refuse to talk about previous projects when being interviewed about new games, Ueda included. Something about that's the past and the future is now or some bullshit, this is why we rarely get answers to questions about Nintendo games. I don't think it's a NDA thing, just a faggot cultural thing.

The most depressing thing of all though, is that when the remake was coming out, someone could have asked Ueda about the cut colossi and it would have been relevant. But game journos are too busy with tranny dick sucking to ask questions people care about.

Its as real as pikmin 4

Nice vibes, I like this design

that legit looks like a japanese monster design. thought it was Silent Hill or something. was surprised when I saw it was Half-Life

It's well known by now that the medallions in OoT were originally going to be usable as items. This video from a consumer trade show reveals how they might have functioned. Right at the start of the video we can see briefly see the item screen where the Fire and Water medallions are linked to the bow. The slots where the three great fairy spells are in the final game are instead linked together with the the slots for the magic arrows. The Fire Medallion most likely worked as the fire arrows, and the Water Medallion was probably the ice arrows. The Light Medallion operated as the light arrows most likely, but that leaves the function of the other three a mystery.
In the retail game we can find another clue by looking at the weapon damage tables. There exists three unused entries in the damage tables just after the magic arrows, which may have been used for the scrapped magic arrows given by the other three medallions.

Perfect Head, a feature that enabled you to use the Gameboy Camera to add custom faces to Perfect Dark multiplayer. Allegedly it was scrapped following controversy over the Columbine shooting. Depending on who you ask, it was technical limitations that may have been why it was cut. The game could only apply a skintone RGB filter over a black-and-white image, and supposedly it was hard to line up the image to correctly fit the head.

Attached: PerfectDark-PosImageMenu.jpg (236x145, 8K)

Gearbox has ALL of the builds actually and 3DRealms wants to release them at some point, but Randy will only do it in a collection for Duke Nukem.

So, hear me out, some anons just buy the collection when that comes out (which it's a certain that it will given Randy tweeted about a Duke Nukem collection recently) and then just rip the files and crack them.

check the dates those were posted user

this shit is more than possible with today's technology. why has no game done this?

they'd probably also have to license all the old engines they worked on too. not impossible but I'm sure Randy can fuck it up.

All of the Kirby gamecube games.
A more complete Superman PSX (though I'm thankful for the one we have.
And more speculatory, but I wonder if the FFIII DS remake had any of the cut scenarios in the actual game at one point or if they were just purely script-level.

It might have, but the guys responsible shot themselves in the foot by using the assets to recreate it as a romhack or something.
So it may or may not be a hoax. I'm giving them the benefit of a doubt though.

If you're interested, someone that did an enormous amount of research into the game's cut content basically rebuilt everything we know about the early SMW beta from scratch. The hacks fairly short since we know so little, but it's pretty good.

Why was this deleted

Sonic is in the coding for Fighting Vipers. Story goes that he was added as a joke by the devs, and when they showed it to Yuji Naka, he ended up approving a Sonic fighting game (Sonic the Fighters/Championship). He also had Tails as his player 2 costume
Sonic The Fighters itself technically allows you to use any model via hacking, but Metal Sonic, Rocket Metal, Dr. Eggman and Honey the Cat are the main four that were meant to be playable. Eggman also had 3 different versions: the mecha suit, himself and a giant version of his mechaless self.
Metal, Robotonic and Honey were made playable in the HD rerelease.

Apparently, part of the story for Fortress was for Basch and Ashe to start a relationship, only to have it deteriorate as the game went on with Basch being too engrossed in fighting and Ashe eventually falling for Larsa.

I dunno. At some point Nintendo just got allergic to referencing the RPGs outside of other Mario RPGs.

I hate that one of the few RPG created characters that keeps appearing in spinoffs is Baby Peach, of all things.

A found prototype of Chrono Trigger contains two different versions of the normal battle theme. The one use in the prototype: tcrf.net/index.php?title=File:CT-BattleProto.ogg
And another found in the prototype data that goes unused: tcrf.net/index.php?title=File:CT-BattleRemixProto.ogg
It's possible these were alternate battle themes composed for the future and past time periods, which would have added a lot more character to the normal battle music.

This prototype contains a number of other interesting things, such as the Epoch having a hovercar feature before it gets wings and a number of locations which were removed in the final.

The Buffalo Steak Sandvich from Team Fortress 2 was originally going to be a cactus. The idea is that the cactus juice is what causes the items effect (increased speed and power, but you're locked to melee weapons)

The item is part of an item set that features an indian chief headdress. Playtesters were worried that Heavy wearing that hat, eating a cactus, and going on a rampage could be seen as racist, so they turned the cactus into a steak.

It seems like early on, Nintendo was playing around with the idea of Bowser having his own Cappy, as seen in this pic here and kinda with the "Bowser-Hime" picture. Another one, presumably before Cappy was a thing, shows him with various Bowser-themed hats.
It makes sense considering that Nintendo tends to give Bowser or Bowser Jr. elements to either counter or parallel Mario's skills (Bowser's dark spin in Galaxy, for example).

Sonic CD Prototype from ResetERA will be exciting.

What

pre-Z-target concept for the bow. probably hold B to draw/aim and A to fire arrows. that way you still have A free for actions as long as you weren't pressing B. also like said the bow would've been a "two handed item". maybe there would have been more of those if they stuck to those controls. it was obviously shit so they scrapped it for the C-button setup when Z-targeting came into the picture

Bao from KOF went through a lot of designs.
Only posting the sprite ones.
The character designer for Ultimax' ideas, apparently.
They found one?

not my favorite but wanna keep the thread's momentum up
i posted about it in the beta thread last night, but i forgot to include this image; pretty old GTA 3 map. you can see some odd things like the piece of land jutting out of staunton island and i THINK a prison on northern portland. you can also see basically how rushed shoreside vale was compared to the rest of the island

interestingly enough, i think GTA 3 was actually the only GTA game that rockstar EVER publicly and purposefully released beta stuff for, i'm pretty sure you can still find a ton of concept and pre-release images on their site, or its archives

doubt there's anything to find beyond the few assets that were already dug out of either the SCD version or the taxman port (forget which)

Considering how long it takes for animation to get done it's likely it was scrapped too early to get any significant work done but way too late to get it taken out of the animation.

> describe what the fights would be like

It walks around and attacks occasionally, climb it and stab it's glowing spot. Jesus.

Orange_juice once gave away a CD containing a trial of Suguri, an April Fools joke BL VN game called QP Kiss, and a prototype version of 100% Orange Juice. This prototype has a number of differences from the final game, including some scrapped cards. The first two here are "Fast Maneuver" and "Slow Maneuver". Fast makes you always roll 6 for movement, and Slow makes you always roll 1 for movement. These cards were readded temporarily for the beta of Fruitbat's English localization of the game.

Another major difference is the choice of a third Norma option at level 5. Instead of getting stars or combat wins to win the game, you can choose to defeat the boss. If you don't land the last hit on the boss, then you miss your chance to win.

is it OK for an optical drive to spin like that? wouldn't spinning at an angle for too long start to fuck shit up?

Goldeneye was supposed to be remade for the 360, but Nintendo technically held the game rights or something and the long-short of is that the game couldn't be released.
I think it was also partially why the Daniel Craig Goldeneye game got made.

I love the mystery of old N64 beta screenshots. I know it's just an empty rendered world with nothing in it, but it makes things look so cool.

The only time I've seen that transfer over into the final game is probably Castlevania 64.

>Toon Link would age subtly over the course of the game
that's neat, shame they couldn't make it happen. the end product was fine enough as a coming of age tale too though.

or goomboss from paper mario randomly appearing in the mario 64 remake

I hope there’s other early builds or footage of Shadow of the Colossus to be found out there. It’s kinda crazy how we know so much about the game’s early stages of development but know so, so very little at the same time. A big chunk of the info we have on the unused colossi, how they functioned and where they were fought is either pure speculation or was stated in the artbook.
For a game as critically acclaimed and popular as SotC is you’d think the developers would be far more willing to divulge on the games development process

there are supposedly more hidden/cancelled rooms in wind waker than actual used ones. I'd die for a chance to see the original plan for the game. Entire dungeons were scrapped and the rumor is that you were supposed to be able to explore hyrule in the second phase of the game ala becoming adult link in OoT

But for whatever reason they hit development hell and had to go the triforce collection route and created two literal who dungeons with the sages

Early designs of Sora characters. Tsih (far left) would stay pretty much the same, and Nath (far right) mostly just had hair color and costume edits. The two in the center were scrapped, though the center left has the burn scars that would be used for Sham. It almost appears as if the two center characters were combined to make Sham.

It was originally cut content (which Lego Island has loads of), then it was going to be the connecting point to the sequel Beyond the Phanta-Sea. There were plans for up to six direct sequels that would have you visiting different islands, an idea that sort-of made its way into Lego Island 2. But Mindscape and Lego were retarded and it never happened

No, that was Mindscape firing the entire Lego Island team
>Actually, it was the day before release. Long story but basically – the industry tradition (back then) was that you will receive product bonuses if you stay to the day of product release. The best solution for them (administrators) at the time was to fire everybody the day before release. There's bigger profits and then could get their investment money back before the product sells… if you don't have to pay bonuses or continued salaries. They also sold the company eventually to bigger companies, which ended up in some legal complications… It was explained to me later when we won best of the show at E3 later that year, that "it wasn't personal – it was just business".

Most Senrans had small or flat chests in their early designs. It's possible that the game wasn't always about huge breasts. Hibari has early designs of her as either a robot girl or some sort of tech savvy nerd. Haruka was once imagined as a loli catgirl scientist with round glasses, and Hikage was a dog girl in a school swimsuit.

Well, we could've got a Rayman 4, until Nintendo brought Ubisoft the Wii dev kit.

Another example of Nintendo fucks everything is that Sonic Boom game being exclusive to the Wii U. Bringing in context, the developers are making the game using the CryTek engine before the Nintendo-Sega exclusivity deal went through, and the Wii U obviously doesn't have that kind of horsepower to run, let alone be compatible. In other words: It's a disaster, and Boom became the worst Sonic game alongside Sonic '06.

I don't remember streets this wide in the original game; were there any? If not, what could the reason possibly be?

Ah, okay. then.

looks like portland near the hospital. early model, yet to get a quality pass. The game largely benefits from tighter streets.

we only have assets, sadly. my guess is that the copy the collector owns doesnt actually boot so he only shared the assets he had

Sonic Chronicles has assets that suggest that the "Little Timmy" sidequest in Blue Ridge Zone involved Echidnas instead of humans. What that says about the plot/Bioware's understanding of the series is unclear.
There's also an unused script depicting a far more elaborate version of the opening, with Eggman being the Tutorial boss.

Wasn't Chronicles forced to change some shit because of Penders trying to sue everybody?

thumbnail looks like two people banging

No. Chronicles did have heavy Archie influence due to being given the comics as reference material (hence stuff like SWATbots), but the changes it went through were for another reason, presumably a different game Bioware was working on at the time or something.
It was the game that lead Penders to copyright all of his characters, prompting Archie to sue him and start the law battle.

Also, a KOF artbook has a few things:
Omega (?) Rugal, at one point, a horrific mishmash between Geese, Wolfgang Krauser and himself. Additionally, certain characters that appear in KOF 97 and beyond, such as Chris or Shingo, were meant to show up earlier. Chris' design seems to suggest they hadn't come up with the concept of CYS at that point. Also, the official website revealed that Orochi was originally conceptualized as being stark naked, but the staff essentially vetoed that idea.

here are all the OFFICIALLY scrapped characters for Smash 64:
ssbwiki.com/Unused_content_(SSB)#Characters
>Bowser, Dedede, Mewtwo, and Marth
Of course Mewtwo was the most worked on since his movie was coming out prior.
since the claims on the villains, Sakurai hinted there might've been more cuts and Marth ended up as one of the newly unmentioned scrapped 64 characters in that FE25th Famitsu article.

rest was garbage and unsourced rumors people took in high regard and you can thank SourceGaming for settling that once and for all.
sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/

and characters aside, there was unused SFX data for Final Smashes, yellow alt costumes for the Pokemon, and an unknown Time Attack mode Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned ages ago.
rest is garbage dreamland stage data nobody cares about

that said, all this scrapped stuff can be brought back through dedicated modding, but redoing Bowser or Mewtwo can take additional help to pull this off
there's a community mod called Smash Remix and it already successfully recreated 3 veteran characters into the game with Dr. Mario as the latest character and SSBMSE merged with the mod.

In Mario Maker 2, the stone block you have to carry in some Story Mode levels has an icon for the course editor as well as a voice clip when placed. Some other items such as Yoshi (not in an egg) has a placement icon as well.
Mario Maker 1 has unused settings for various course elements, including sloped pipes! They don't work properly when placed in a level, but a pipe can be rotated a full 360 degrees when manually edited in the save file. Enemies also have unused settings for more sizes than just normal and huge, but none of the unused settings do anything.

Mario Maker 1 oddly enough is filled with assets from an early version of Splatoon. Tons of gear and weapon icons for Splatoon are packed into the game files, many of them are different from the final version of the game.

The people with early Pokemon shit tend to be incredibly stingy and awful. Collectors can be real scum obsessed with the 'value' of something they'll never sell and no one knows they have, especially the Japanese ones, and the people who find a way to pry info or even the data itself out of the hands of these collectors tend to have massive egos and hide shit in anticipation for the moment of greatest 'glory' on their part.

Some guy is actually doing something about that right now. He's able to edit, remove, and add lighting, reflections, and objects to the game.

I'm here to cry about Mega Man Legends 3

weren't some sonic CD prototypes just found recently?

This is easily the one I want to see the most
I heard it was maybe in someone's storage

I haven't been keeping up with the scene, so if there are, I didn't hear about them.

Sonic boom would still probably suck, remember all the bad sonic games they made,and also it wasn't Nintendo fault at all, sega already did some mistakes with sonic in the past (06) so I wouldn't be surprised if they rushed boom like 06

Basically it was a 50/50

Once it was killed its head popped off and you could pick it up and throw it at people.
You could do the same to live headcrabs and rocks.
It wasn't because HL2 was leaked. By the time HL2 was leaked, Valve had already scrapped everything from that era of development. The leak only has leftover stuff from that era. There's still stuff that was added but erased before the game was leaked.
They had a storyline but they never made a full game, some big concepts they had planned were never even given assets.
If you really go down the rabbit hole, you can definitely see that they cut the fat and slashed the content of the game to the bone.

I'm highly upset I can't use the stone block. I had some level ideas for it

Melee actually did have an "AKANEIA" at one point, according to the debug screen, but it got cut at some point.
On that note Marth and Roy were almost JP only characters.

i like how this got cancelled twice, once being like 20 years ago, and the other being recent
its almost like battlefront 3 where if EA makes it, people will shit on it for not being nearly as good as the cancelled one, thus having it cancelled again
