The 𒉰Nintendo leak is the gift that keeps on giving, as the SDK for an un🌃made successor to the Game Boy Advance has made its way online.
The past few years have seen a number of interesting things from the history of Nintendo making their way online, including never before seen games and specifications for hardware that never made it past the planning stages. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Plans for a portable GameCube leaked earlier this month🧜, which had its own dock and💝 detachable controllers like the Switch.
The latest leak to make its way online is the SDK of the Iris, planned to be the successor to the Game Boy Advance line. According to WaluigiBSOD on Twitter, there are also technical documents for the system accompanying the software. This follows similar 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:leaks of the Wii's source code from earlier in the year.
This isn't the first time that we've heard of the Iris. The name is a reference to the Iris flower, which is the symbol of the month of May in Hanafuda cards. The intention was for the Iris to be the next Game Boy system, but Satoru Iwata wanted a system that used two screens, like the old Game & Watch handhelds. This led to the creation of the Nintendo DS, which was a good decision, considering it's still Nintendo's best-selling system of a♏ll time. In terms of technology, it seems that the Iris was similar to a Game Boy Advance SP, but had more advanced hardware under the hood. The system didn't get too far in development, so it's doubtful that games were created for it - outside of basic tech demos.
The development tools for an incomplete system aren't quite as exciting 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:as unseen SNES prototypes, but it offers a fascinating look at Nintendo's plans in the 𒉰days before the creation of the DS. The Game Boy line of systems was one of Nintendo's most profitable ventures, and the company took a big risk by pivoting toward the DS. The Iris could very easily have seen th🐲e light of day, if Satoru Iwata hadn't made a push for his own vision.
