favorite /vr/ easter eggs and general weirdness in the game files?

No really retro but the Pikmin disc includes a working Windows build of the game.

That's really fucked up

>>3077763
why?

>>3077546
Sounds like bullshit. I just put my disk in and nothing happened.

and just in case you miss it:

It won't run on its own, because it's a debugging build leftover, and not a feature.
They basically wrote cross-platform code, so they could compile it against Windows, to take advantage of the debugger when implementing and bugfixing. Eventually they change the target to GCN and clean it up

>>3077546
Can somebody tell me HOW something like this can even happen? I have no idea how actual game developing works, but I can't really imagine how they forgot to remove this from the final version of the game

>>3077846
It's more work to remove it, the removal process may break something. It fits on the disc, so why bother? It's just the economic thing to do

For clean Nintendo it's still a huge wtf.
But it's not the only game by them with strange leftovers, still in most cases just unused resources or some header files etc. But Pikmin is indeed a semi huge fuckup for Nintendo's confidentiality standards.

>clean Nintendo
good one, tell another. Software looking clean on the outside is not necessarily related to software looking clean on the inside.

>But it's not the only game by them with strange leftovers
exactly

>in most cases just unused resources or some header files
Not much different here

>Nintendo's confidentiality standards
There are any?
