Sizzle Reel Reveals Nintendo

A fan has dug up an interesting look at Nintendo's approach to E3 1996, the Nintendo 64 and late era for the SNES.

YouTuber dudaw12 has posted part of a series of VHS video tapes from the 90s, one of which is a 20 minute Nintendo E3 feature given to retailers/employees to help promote the Nintendo 64 and later SNES releases.

The footage includes an early look at some essential Nintendo 64 titles including Mario Kart 64, Super Mario 64 and even a rare beta clip of Kirby's Air Ride 64 in motion. Plus Nintendo talk Kirby and Super Mario RPG as late SNES releases.

Now almost twenty years later the Nintendo 64 console is still very much loved despite a huge leap into High Definition.

Can't believe Starfox 64 used to look so ugly :/. Glad they waited longer.

Well that was a lot of "fun"

Those N64 games look incredibly bad! It was only 3 months to launch by then so a lot of work must have gone into sprucing them up! Would have been interesting to see PlayStation and Saturn games from E3 1996

Interesting to see Nintendo spend $140m ($207m with inflation) just in the 2nd half of 1996 alone and none of it was on the N64! Some ok games in there, mainly DKC3 to be fair.

Also.... the internet in 1996... wow...how times have changed(16:50)
