Nintendo Direct-Feed Video

Size/Filetype: 1.4 MB / Zipped Quicktime
Length: 0:10
This really quick video first starts with a disclaimer, "This video was used to demonstrate the new GAME CUBE hardware at the premiere of Nintendo's new products." and then it shows all of the Marios falling onto the platform at once with the boxes. Then it shows close-ups of Marios walking and rolling around. It was probably released at Nintendo's site about Spaceworld 2000. Another difference from the presentation video is that the boxes have words on them rather than a silhouette of Mario's head. Screen captures from this version were used for Nintendo's official images (the ones with the "NP" on them).

Gamerweb Various Videos

Gamerweb posted two videos of the actual presentation, a show-floor video, and the direct-feed version.

  1. Presentation 1
    • Size/Filetype: 7.3 MB / Zipped MPEG
    • Length: 0:57
    • Description: This video starts when Mr. Miyamoto shows the Wavebird Controller and ends with the appearance of the 30th Mario. This video was taken pretty far from the stage, so the sound and image quality suffers. It is also just as shaky as some of the IGN videos.
  2. Presentation 2
    • Size/Filetype: 9.8 MB / Zipped MPEG
    • Length: 1:16
    • Description: This video starts with the stage transformation and ends when the Marios become transparent.
  3. Gamerweb Hands-On Video
    • Size/Filetype: 2.6 MB / Zipped MPEG
    • Length: 0:20
    • Description: Either the Gamerweb people got to do a hands-on or they were video taping a video that differs from the presentation. This close-up recording of a TV is short and sweet.
  4. Gamerweb Direct-Feed Video
    • Size/Filetype: 916 KB / Zipped MPEG
    • Length: 0:14
    • Description: This video is almost exactly the same as the Official Nintendo Direct-Feed Video above.
