Your 3D scanned Pokemon keshi this week is... Squirtle!! Take home this beloved starter Pokemon today, weird head dent or no! Model file here: archive.org/details/kesh...

Earlier versions of the Boss Remains icons. Gyorg's icon might be a staff caricature. Twinmold's makes sense when you think about the dragon puppets at Chinese festivals. You can see the final versions here: zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/Items_i... #Zelda #TheLegendofZelda #MajorasMask #Nintendo

At last, the elusive Adult Link Mask has been discovered... along with a few other things. It was probably called the Hero's Mask, if internal names are any indication. tcrf.net/Prerelease:T... #MajorasMask #Zelda #TheLegendofZelda #Nintendo

Do you want scans with that? I'm excited to share that I've 3D scanned all 5 toys in the original Super Mario Bros. 3 Happy Meal set that McDonald's released back in August of 1990! These were the very first Mario Happy Meal toys. Grab the 3D models here: archive.org/details/kesh...

This is a prototype of the unreleased Game Boy Color version of 40 Winks! This build has 6 playable levels and 2 playable characters (Ruff and Tumble). It seems to have been from very far along in the game's development. archive.org/details/40-w...

Here's the 5th and final 3D scan of the Super Mario Bros. 3 Happy Meal toys that McDonald's released in 1990! It's the Under 3 version of Raccoon Mario! This soft rubber toy was designed to be safe for small children. Get the scan: archive.org/details/kesh...

I'm continuing the 3D scans of the 1990 Super Mario Bros. 3 McDonald's Happy Meal toys with the 4th toy in the set... Luigi! Pull him back then release and watch him zoom around. He's on a cloud with a star for some reason! Download the model files: archive.org/details/kesh...

I've 3D scanned the third of the Super Mario Bros. 3 McDonald's Happy Meal toys from 1990. It's a Koopa Paratroopa! When you squeeze the red air pump, he kicks and hops! Download the scans here, and check back tomorrow for the next toy: archive.org/details/kesh...

Today, we bring you a prototype of Mario's Picross for the Game Boy! Dated January 23rd, 1995, this build comes a few months before release and contains different puzzles, a different Super Game Boy title screen, and other graphical differences. archive.org/details/mari...

Here's the second 3D scanned toy in the McDonald's Super Mario Bros. 3 Haapy Meal promotion from August 1990: a backflipping Goomba!! The five toys in this set were the very first Mario happy meal toys. Check back tomorrow for the next in the set! Download the model: archive.org/details/kesh...

Picked up the Disk Writer foldout versions of the Zelda 1 and 2 manuals, which I don’t think I even realized existed until last week. These were provided when you downloaded the game at a Disk Writer kiosk (as opposed to buying the standalone games, which came with proper instruction booklets).

Your 3D scanned keshi today is Princess Kiri, from Taito's The Legend of Kage! This is from a set of 10 extra-large keshi figures called Famicom Superheroes Assemble (ファミコンスーパーヒーロー大集合), which Takahashi released in or around 1986. Get it here: archive.org/details/kesh...

What are YOU fighting for?

Today's 3D scanned keshi is JaJaMaru-Kun, from Ninja JaJaMaru-Kun on Famicom! Wonky sculpts & dubious copyright marks led to a belief that this set might be a bootleg. However TxAxKxU provided marketing material that proves this was official & by Takahashi! Download: archive.org/details/kesh...

I've uncovered more amazing material for the abandoned 'Iron Man' game that I was working on at Genepool Software. During mid/late 2003 we created a demo of the game for PC, XBOX and PS2 before it was canned. I have just found the Game Design Document, Mission Design Document and much, much more!

Awesome news! @ozidual.bsky.social edited the full run of the 1987 Famimaga (Nintendo's Family Computer Magazine) magazines that I scanned a while back which means they're so much easier to flip through and read now! Check them out: archive.org/details/@ozi...

Here's a few pieces of concept art I recovered from Lord of the Rings: War in the North

Sorry for the lack of magazine scans last few weeks but I've been working on something I'm super hyped about and will be releasing in the near future hopefully. Still cramming features into it and polishing things. Here's a sneak peak of it...

What in tarrrnation?! It's a Wild Gunman keshi--the varmint! You'd best grab your trusty six shooter and walk 10 paces to Keshi Corner on the Internet Archive if you want to walk out of here with that model file, pardner! archive.org/details/kesh...

Here is a 3D scan I made of a Hammer Bro pencil topper keshi from 1986! I believe this was made by either Amada or Takahashi. Download the model here: archive.org/details/kesh...

In 2024 I scanned this Kabuki keshi figure from Ninja-Kun on Famicom. The figure had some minor damage: a missing bomb wick! I promised I would rescan the figure if I got an undamaged one in the future. Today I make good on that promise. archive.org/details/kesh...

Great result. 36 year old game finally sees the light of day after being 'lost'.

I've found and scanned the cape accessory for the God Bomber keshi, a figure Kabaya created for the unreleased Virtual Boy game Virtual Bomberman! I've updated the Internet Archive page with the new scan. archive.org/details/kesh...

We finally have a photo of the previously unseen Zelda 1 art on display at the Nintendo Museum. The cartouche in the top right, subtitled "THE MAP OF HYRULE," depicts 3 fairy/goddess figures unfolding a cloth (making the world?). Miyamoto's signature is on the bottom right.

I got this Medicom Nintendo Series Legend of Zelda Link Ultra Detail Figure about 10 years ago. They did a bunch of amazing work turning old Nintendo art into figures, and this one was especially recognizable. www.16bit.com/fotd/160322-...

And here is my childhood Applause Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Link Action Figure. I'd love to have a fancier figure of this era of Link some day. www.16bit.com/fotd/120403-...

In honor of the 39th anniversary yesterday, and the fact that Echoes of Wisdom this past year was a sad milestone for the series, I give you: A chart of all the Zelda games that the Zelda 1 dev team worked on

It's now 2/21 in Japan, which means The Legend of Zelda is officially 40 years old! To celebrate the anniversary of the game series that's had the single greatest impact on my life, here's a 3D scan of a keshi of Link, from Lotte's 2nd series of Famicom Choco figures. archive.org/details/kesh...
