Bottles' Revenge Unlocked!

Posted by Zonk on from the n64-games-never-go-out-of-style dept.

Lochlan writes "The Rare Witch Project has done it again, this time unlocking yet another "removed" feature within the Nintendo 64 game, Banjo-Tooie. Bottles' Revenge, a feature which allows a second player to actively control enemies adds a whole new style of gameplay to the popular adventure game."

  1. Two thoughts. by Sheetrock · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I wonder how many "unfinished" features there are in released code. I've played more than a few games that had items or characters that could be unlocked with a Gameshark or similar that were leftovers, but besides the multiplayer code in GTA3 for the PC hadn't heard of anything this involved that was left in the code without being tapped.

    The second thought, of course, is about how ludicrous the concept is that hunting for or unlocking this sort of functionality would be considered illegal anywhere -- and wondering if the time is near when cheating devices like the Gameshark will be treated like flash carts are today.

    Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.

    I remember being able to control the ducks in Duck Hunt (for the good ol' NES) with the second controller.
