E3 1996 ( Los Angeles )... Nintendo unveiled for the first-time their Silicon Graphics collaborated game console "Nintendo 64". After the E3 Press conferrence the Press was given this B-ROLL for newstations and media alike. In some of the newsclips on my channel you'll notice N64 gameplay footage. It was this Beta cassette that was used for the newsstation's alternate footage.
The N64 B-Roll:

NOTE: The gameplay footage shown was not from 100% complete N64 games. These were Japanese Betas. Even some games in the clip go from having audio - to barely having any audio - to having no audio at all.
INTERESTING TIDBITS: In the clip during "Super Mario Kart R" intro title you'll hear a tune unheard of in the final production of "Super Mario Kart 64". Be sure to crank the volume enough to hear the intro tune. Also witness a really beta version of Kirby's Air Ride" that was eventually cancelled and moved it to the Gamecube.
