Must be so heart warming for a dev to see this, that someone is enjoying a little thing they worked on years ago that got lost to time
and yet, that game is something that a marketing team dreamt up with quite some "white marching poweder", and the devs thought: well, at least I get paid for it.
who thought, that this game is a good idea.
at some point, some person got some sense and cancelled it.
damn that's crazy, the world needs to know more about Pickles
factual bro
No way cybershell???
Cybershell?!
Yo cybershell
OMG CYBERSHELL
definitely gotta ask the dad how far into development he thinks this disc is from
Ask your dad if he got friends with more unreleased games.
ask him history on development
Whose dad?
This game looks fun and it's from 2005 which was a great year I would like to go back to. Lol but definitely 1996. Yes get the game going, send the dumped copy to developers who already edit popular games to bring them new features. I personally like the ones for Mario Kart 64 with new characters and features. Mario Kart Amped up and Mario Kart Hooting Time for examples. 😊🎮
Also I got The Taito 1985 Dump of The Fairyland Story put on a cartridge. I'm so glad people out there are finding treasures and doing the right thing by safely dumping them so we all get to enjoy the game before it's completely lost or destroyed. Please do it ASAP if you have a copy of something because tomorrow is never promised.
I would plug additional controllers in the other slot, some dev games give level select via that method
Interesting. Any more details on this method? Or just randomly plug in controllers 😂
@@cakehoarderPlug in controllers, press buttons, document results
@@DarkLink1996.Very simular to my love making technique.
It may also matter whether or not the controller is detected prior to boot or even afterwards.
Truthfully, I'm happy we at least found one unreleased GCN game that features stacking characters as a gameplay mechanic, and also has monkeys in it
the stacking mechanic was also on the kirby gamecube game that was canned
spyro but a monkey on a unicycle that stacks like an arcade game. i want to see the game finished.
You trust this weirdo story, find a Cube, restore the unreleased title.
FAKE !
he needed a CZcams channel to review it.
I always love seeing unreleased games get uncovered. This is pretty interesting so far. If you manage to dump it, dataminers might be able to find what else of the game is on the disc even if it's not functional.
It does seem like they had a neat concept going with the monkey stacking, and makes me think of a more chaotic Triforce Heroes. I wonder why this was ultimately scrapped.
The controls seem like they might've become a pain without further tuning - picking up the scattered gems struck me as particularly arduous, given the pronounced momentum, wide turn radiuses, and floaty jumping - but the carnival aesthetic they were going for was pretty charming IMO, and I definitely agree that stacking mechanic had the potential to be pretty entertaining. Maybe there could've been a puzzle element where you'd have to stack the characters/objects in specific orders to set up combos or something. Who knows, really.
All in all, it's always a shame to see a project like this go unrealized. My guess is that Santa Cruz just couldn't find the extra time and funding that Alex Neuse said the idea needed (perhaps such a commitment seemed too perilous alongside their "movie tie-in games" comfort zone). Either way, here's hoping there's more to see on the CD!
its as simple as the game not being picked up, the reason all of their other games were successful is because they were IPs being funded by the owners of the license like Disney. This type of stuff even happens today, the studio that brought us Sleeping Dogs(One of the greatest story games ever, essentially a gta based in China) had to close because Square Enix considered its 1.5m sales within a year a "failure".
@@nicholasbuffone175 I think Pickles was an actual game idea that was left open, But the tech demo was created for the purpose to showcase Santa Cruz's in-house cross-platform engine for game development, With their first airing at Game Connection 2006. Hoping to catch the eye of publishers - Like Sammy Corporation in Japan which they namedropped on the disc lol. Their showcasing was ultimately successful, But I think no-one was actually interested in the demo game and so it was binned.
Questions I would ask would be like:
1. What’s the history for this game? Like how did you guys come up with the idea for Pickles.
2. Is Pickles really the final name for the game?
3. Why was the game cancelled.
4. Was there plans to have more than 12 levels?
5. If there was bosses in the game. What kind of boss fights would players had face if the game had released?
They were going to name it hot peppers and settled on pickles. True story
Glad it fell into your hands and not some greedy person wanting to keep it for themselves, imagine if phonenix resale got ahold of this
I can’t wait for the inevitable collapse for those people
I couldn't agree more! The guy is a legend sending it to preserve it online getting dumped is amazing! We need preserve as much history as we can.
Big W for preserving gaming history by dumping the roms of these alpha builds of unreleased games
This is a disk so it's an ISO, not a ROM.
people still call them roms
@@Daniel15au
@@Daniel15au Most people call dumped files just "roms" and I think having a universal name is better and easier to understand. Yeah is technically speaking not the right term to use but well I get why people use it instead of iso, ccd, cue, img, bin...

I would definitely talk to modern vintage gamer, he’s great at dumping, preserving games etc
Surprised I didn't see more comments recommending him. I feel like he's become the go-to for preservation. If he can't do it himself, he knows someone who can or he'll figure it out. A legend for sure.
“the start to a bad creepy pasta” lmfao
You got me when I clicked on this wasn’t sure if i was getting an ARG fabricated game, or legit unreleased prototype.
Really cool, hopefully you can find a way to dump this and share it, who knows maybe people will love it enough to complete it!
Was cool to do the research for this when you posted it on Twitter, like digging for lost treasure. Looking forward to seeing what dataminers may be able to come up with and the stories the developer is sure to provide us.
It's not everyday someone makes a discovery like this, this is very cool! I wonder how many more forgotten, lost to time dev demos are out there.
The GTA V for the Wii U 😮
This is always nice when a game is found and get preserved. Thanks for the sharing.
This is amazing and answers a question I've had for years. I knew there had to be prototype disc out there in the world of games made but never released. This hopefully takes off and more disc are found in the near future. This is awesome!
Man I think a great question to ask is if he has more assets out there that never made it onto the disc. It's possible he still has more of the unfinished work on some computer. Content like that could go a long way to helping people unlock additional content and possibly help complete some coding to open up some more of the levels. Something to think about.
This is going to be awesome cause we already seen a unreleased game cube game but now a another one that’s crazy and also keep up the good work i like and can’t wait to see more of this content
What was the other one?
This is actually a very intriguing demo. What a shame it was never developed into a full game...
It’ll be amazing to see the community bring this game to life when you give it to the people these games were meant to play and have fun and enjoy your childhood the memories you’d create with your friends all the story’s that came from it im glad you can understand and give it back to gaming community instead of hoard it for yourself may your channel keep growing and store keep prospering.
Damn. That is some solid videogame archaeology and you are uncovering something that would be lost forever without you doing exactly this. It may not be a lost work of Shakespeare but all art needs to be preserved. So, yeah, *thank you*.
Bro is making history
Love how he says “important warning” like any of us can even play this 😂
So lucky to see an unreleased game like that, so cool. This earned you a sub.
This is so cool that a piece of GameCube history has been found
Accidental describes what was not planned or intended. It means "happening by accident" or "happening as an accident," as in "an accidental discovery" and "an accidental injury." **Incidental typically means "happening as a minor part or result of something else."**
I’m happy you blew up for this rather than blind bags (which I also love).
This is beyond cool! What an awesome find. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
holy crap,talk about lost media without ever knowing it was lost to begin with
Hi @Cake. I really agree with you here. I really think your seller’s father was on to something here with the stacking monkeys. I think if flourished, this really could have been something unique to the 3D platforming genre.
If you are still willing, I have a question for your seller’s father actually. Can you ask him what happened with all of this? What is the story behind this? Is Santa Cruz Studios still around? What were his ideas for the game as a final product?
I’m fascinated by unreleased games. I would appreciate it very much. Thanks!
That is 4 questions
Hopefully this gets dumped so Pickles can finally wheel its way onto the ‘net. By the way, any chance you could hand this game over to Hidden Palace or TCRF? They can dump it, analyse it for any unused content and keep it online for years to come.
Immediately after you said what questions you should ask the developer of Pickles. I thought of 3. What was the original story going to be of the game? What was the special ending thing after every level was going to be like? Did they have any unused character sketches or ideas that never made it to the prototype?
These are just a few questions I felt like it needed answered.
Its real nice that you found this hidden jem and shared it to the world keep up the great work I hope that you get the rest of the leves to work, keep up the good work
GameCube games are made using C++, C and assembly. I would completely be up for a group project to create the remaining levels
contact the cutting room floor and the preservation project immediately
I really like seeing footage of games like this in early development.
A lot of it kinda feels a bit like my own methods for developing games, but crunchier since you had to do stuff from scratch, rather than just using Godot or Unreal like we do today.
Cool, we get to see an unreleased Gamecube title. It's even on a disc
This is like a creepy pasta but NO CREEPY
Very cool indeed. Always great to see old, obscure, or prototype games saved from oblivion. Would be great to interview the original dev (the seller's father), so he can talk about the game and the tools (editors, compilers, graphics creation tools, etc) they used to develop Game Cube games. It would give him some well deserved recognition for his work, some of which has now been saved / preserved forever thanks to you and his son. 👍 😀
Are you telling me that the GameCube dev system had this insane color which is my favorite color? Being a GameCube dev must be the coolest thing ever.
Toad is stuck inside that disc and has been waiting all those years to come out
MICHAEL, DONT LEAVE ME HERE! MICHAEL!
This is an amazing find! Did he have any notes, sketches, drawings, etc? Good luck getting the data dumped and working!
Cake you’re a legend for the GameCube community! Keep it up bro!
Heh, I was actually living in Santa Cruz, CA at the time Santa Cruz Games started their company in Santa Cruz, CA. Their office was right across the street from where I worked.
This is so cool, sad that this game was scrapped but it's so awesome it gets to see the light of day now.
Its dope because i saw this in a news article! I only saw the headline but ill try to see if they mentioned you in it! Yea its nintendo life and they mentioned you
If I had to pick between Martin Shkreli owning that one copy of a Wu-Tang album and you owning that only copy of Pickles, I'd choose you.
Real good on you for dumping this rom, glad more people can get their hands on this & it can be preserved!
"Accidentally bought" *proceeds to explain how item was purchased purposely. * 😂
I remember making a TMNT game in middle school and this bully Akeem hacked my game so I couldn’t get to the levels. Thankfully, the levels weren’t deleted and the only thing that was was the ability to press the play button. I programmed it back in and it all worked fine. You can probably get a programmer to link the levels to the game somehow but if they’re corrupted unfortunately there’s no rescuing it
This could've been a really well sold game for the gamecube
Yo it’s him
Please dump it for the world to play.
This is still the most epic thing of the week! One thing I would like to ask is why the game was canned. It's definitely interesting to see this type of lost media!
you have the luck of a man that finds a gold coin from the middle age in the middle of a mountain
This looks like a ton of fun, shame it has never been released or even pitched it would seem.
Also plot twist: that guy didn't want money, he wanted his dad's legacy to finally be featured on a popular YT channel, and thus sold one-of-a-king item that could have costed dozens of thousands for a non-competitive price!
This is so cool! Would be a great idea to get a capture card to get some better quality footage of the game. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for being cool and releasing it instead of hording it, I bet the mod or dev community can get it flushed out😊
I’m enjoying these long form video
What an amazing and interesting story @cake !!!!
1:25 looks like you’re pulling the disc out of the ‘cube by its edges here. pressing down on the center of the GameCube’s disc spindle gently ejects the disc so you don’t have to pull as hard.
It saddens me a little that this never got to see the light, It could have been a really fun game
You have earned my Like for being a good member of humanity and dumping these finds.
Thank you
Thanks for putting this online
Congrats on the find
I saw your channel name and immediately thought this was one of those is it cake videos 😂
this is so fucking cool. i can’t wait to see what else u uncover about it!!
Not sure where my comment went but don't forget the original article mentioned.
"Santa Cruz also had a handful of other playable demos to show, including a PSP game starring a fly-themed superhero buzzing around an open-ended city, a fishing game for the Nintendo DS that utilizes the touch screen for just about every aspect, from boat motor control to hooking a worm to casting a line, and perhaps their most ambitious demo, a game starring a little girl named Joanne taking down zombies with a chainsaw, the codename of which is How I Spent My Summer Vacation.
"It's like a survival horror game for kids," said Neuse. "This is the one we usually show when we're pitching new game ideas. I think it's every developer's dream to eventually be doing our own ideas. It's certainly ours. But we've done tons of licensed games. We know how to deal with licensors.""
I'm here because for the spanish news. I grew with a gamecube, so i came out here to see that rare game you get!
idk if there was an update but i could pretty confidently say there wont be much if anything at all on any of the other levels due to how early that singular level is in development, there may be layouts or backgrounds put in but not too much of a chance or much more content beyond whats upfront if the upfront is barely done
Could you make an ISO of the disk. I love seeing lost media being found and I really think this should be preserved
Ive been waiting for this!!!
Can you ask him if there's more data on a computer that might still be around in the home? That'd be the best hope in restoring the game.
How did you find this!? Your so good at finding stuff! Just subed
Soooo sick! This wasn't even in video game lost media so holy crap
Damn! That looks awesome! I wish Nintendo would remake Uniracers speaking of unicycles. Have you reached out to Modern Vintage Gamer aka MVG?
Oh hey, I have those same Pikachu figures! they were produced under license in 1998 by TOMY for both the JP and CN market. Yours is also branded with Audley, TOMY's Chinese market distributor. I believe the scrunchy pose is supposed to be him firing a lightning bolt.
When I think of unreleased game cube games that’s donkey Kong racing
Modern Vintage Gamer on CZcams is the guy to go to for dissecting games
This is such an amazing piece of gaming history
As someone watching this on the toilet, I can certify this as a hood classic.
When you said about knowing anyone who could help and is experienced, the first name that came to mind was Modern Vintage Gamer. If anyone can help with this, it's probably him.
I saw your tweet and found this video, it did not disappoint
LOL at the way the says "it's a game, I KID YOU NOT, about monkeys riding unicycles." as if that is the craziest idea that any game has ever had...
This game had a lot of potential to be great, it gives me that old late night gaming feel i've had as a kid playing nice games like Spyro The Dragon etc since the noon with a smile on my face.
I can’t wait til a developer remakes this game I wish I could but I tried to make a 3d model for it and it didn’t go to well so until someone decompiles it I wont have any assets
I guess ask the dad what kind of computers they may have used to develop that game. I recently got my hands on an SGI Octane2, which was the same kind of computer used to make the movie Ice Age. As far as I know Nintendo mostly used the SGI Indy to develop N64 games, I don't know what they moved onto during the GameCube era. A lot of Silicon Graphic's computers were used to make games during the N64 era, even Sony used them to make the pre-rendered BG art for Final Fantasy VII. Those computers were never publicly available.
If I was Nintendo, I'd be concerned about similarities with Super Monkeyball (released for GameCube), and Uniracers, for the SNES. The latter is important because Nintendo was successfully sued by Pixar on the grounds that Pixar once made a short animation about anthropomorphic unicycles, and as such, deserved the rights to all fiction involving unicycles with human like behaviors. As a result, Nintendo was forced to pull the game from shelves, anddmlt development on any sequel games. Something they have upheld to this entire time. It's a shame because it was a super good game.
They should make this a full game
the lock on the santa cruz games studios makes me think it's probably some post-game self-referential content like sea of stars or, more classically pokemon and earthbound (though those weren't post game) they probably were gonna do npc's of the developers and stuff and you would get a key after you beat the final boss or something
This looks like a project that would be interesting to see revived
Feels like a fever dream to find an unreleased game
Got it working on my modded GC and made some discoveries, I might edit this further the more i discover, there are some really janky levels where virtually nothing spawns, if you hold both triggers you go into some dev kinda mode, and if you go into the options there are 2 levels with six worlds, and if you press A it spawns them, level 3 on world 2 seems to start a very broken cutscnene. also in the first level if you go out of bounds and go right, it wont crash but it will show a pirate ship with skarks.
Cool show and tell!
I dont think this was accidental "i knew i needed to buy this"
Hard4Games would definitely be my go to for dumping the game. Cool stuff!
Would've been cool if you DIDN'T dump it. People act like they're entitled to lost media and I'd have loved to see someone teach these assholes a lesson.
That's pretty cool, I really want to know more about this game!
Great find! Looks like a really promising game, a shame it never saw the light of day
Thank you for your contribution to video game preservation.
I want a full version of this game.
I'd ask him to tell you everything about it! He may very happy to be able to share some otherwise unappreciated work he's done.
