A blockout in game dev terms is a rough design of a level containing no detailed models, just blocks to show the general layout and design. they are good for testing the flow of the level before adding environmental details.

About Goldeneye; It's a "gate deliverable." Could've been for a Kick-Off, First Prototype, Alpha, etc. David is pretty much correct; it's the package you show to editorial about the progress of the game and make sure things are still going as planned. Sometimes they're "vertical slices" of the game, where it's a short part of the actual full game. Sometimes they're tech demos and prototype showcases like in this case.

I remember doing that for a short while but having a ton of issues with it not recognizing files. Turns out JPG is not an actual file format but rather a container format and the Wii could only handle certain actual formats (pretty much just JFIF I think) under a certain size (don't remember the limit) and had no correction capabilities (JPGs were easily corrupted but most software could correct the files on the fly). A lot of newer hardware uses the EXIF format (still JPG files) which are much higher resolution though even a "lossless JPG" format isn't truly lossless due to the quantization methods used by all JPG formats (it's actually pretty neat how it works and definitely worth a trip down the image compression rabbit hole). PNGs are truly lossless but can't be compressed as small.

As far as the Wii Mini goes, it has the hardware for at least half of the GC compatibility, that can be modded back in. I did some light diving into the idea when some channel was doing Wii mods, and found this out, I'm not sure if the other half of GC compatibility exists elsewhere on the board, or if there was a chip change that sacrificed compatibility, etc., but there's at least pads for two controller pinouts and a memory card pinout. The wired WiiMote thing is also a bit weird. I went patent diving at one time and there was a full wireless variant based on the GameCube, controller port wireless module and a full WiiMote. IIRC this was also during the middle of the GC's lifecycle, wireless was _super_ early in development and probably an extension of the WaveBird's wireless, so these wired WiiMotes must've been super early, and for some reason retained throughout the devkits. It also has nothing to do with the IR, as tracking is internal to the WiiMote themselves, the sensor bar was just an emitter with standardized placement of the LEDs for the WiiMote's tracking triangulation. Assuming GC had the API overhead for motion tracking (which realistically was just a stick replacement in most uses), motion could've existed on the platform, given how the dev cycle for the Wii played out; which also means those GC-Wii dev units had updated firmware to allow for this, which makes me curious how forward-compatible the GC could've been with updated firmware.

I'm assuming power and security were probably the main factors. Wii Motes are generally pretty good on batteries but they won't last all day under heavy testing. The wired controllers would also be just about useless if someone tried to walk off with them since retail units only supported wireless.

I have a soft modded Wii with DI support (my brother uses it to play and practice competitive Melee). Don't remember ever having issues back in the day with online games, the only thing I had to be careful on was making sure I didn't update the official way (and even then it didn't take long for a new exploit to be found). Perhaps there was an even older hack that used GC controllers but by the time the Mini rolled out soft mods with DI support were quite robust so I can't see that being a reason to remove controller ports, it was almost certainly to cut cost.

A lot of the art dept was still full of sketches of the Tarzan game they did from the late 90's, a massive Batman stature, and a post it Pikachu.

Quick comment on the "not yet wireless" for the controller. Actually, this is a sought-out feature that you'd pay extra. Imagine you have 12 close-by desks of developers and testers all around different Wii dev kits (or test kits - closer to the actual hardware) with 1-2-3-4 bluetooth wireless remotes. All those Bluetooth wireless signals would interfere together. At one point, you need to be empirically developing without fear of actual signal interference and degradation. So developers would end up purchasing mostly wired kits and wired controllers at a premium, and have 1-2 official test kits for demoing game or testing game in a faraway room.

That WiFi attenuator would work... Not in a good way for the Tx module, but it would attenuate the RF. It's likely that most of the RF into that "attenuator" would be reflected back. Yes; the overall result is attenuation, but in the worst possible way!

I'm pretty sure that the non-deliverables were meant to be presented by someone who was intimately briefed with where they could and could not go. They'd have a standard script that they play through and if someone asks them something, they'd know if they could deviate from it and how far. Showing the sub-ocean to the investors doesn't go over too well.

Fun Fact: The Wii’s actual widescreen aspect resolution is just short of 16:9 in horizontal length, the Wii just stretches the image to fit the display. If games were made with this aspect ratio in mind depends on the developer. That said, the Wii had some really cool games. Sure, Brawl is still the worst in the Smash series up to this point. But we got bangers like Galaxy 1 & 2, Xenoblade 1, and even Rhythm Heaven Fever.

"Brawl is still the worst in the Smash series" No, Brawl has Subspace and Project M patch, meanwhile Smash Wi U has nothing, it's the beta of Ultimate.

There were no Nintendo early builds shown. There was never much risk, it was all clickbait.

I believe the blockout means just map design versions of map, just do test gameplay without the art. Art style added after to the blockout version.

Nintendo didn't use the eShop branding back then, it was called the Wii Shop Channel. I know that Wii Shop sounds an awful lot like eShop, but Linus did clearly say "eShop" at 2:37. I know, I'm an awfully picky person. But otherwise, fantastic video!

I remember when the Wii came out. Lots of people complained about how it was underpowered, and basically last-gen hardware. It then proceeded to beat the tar out of Sony and Microsoft, because Nintendo understood that games are supposed to be fun above all else.

probably true that the wiimote was wired because they didn't have wireless support yet, but you'd also want a wired controller in a dev kit, so you don't need to bother with charging or batteries dying.

The GameCube TDEV was not a development unit. It was for QA for testing games. The GameCube devkit was GDEV, which looked similar to the NDEV (big metal box) but was blue. And while the NDEV used several USB connections to the host PC, the GDEV used a SCSI cable. As developers, we thought of the Wii as a GameCube with extra audio RAM bolted on. And the NDEV was not an early dev kit. It was THE devkit through the whole life of the console.

the Naruto game demo lagged probably because it was streaming full motion video from the ROM, which was being sent over USB so a lot of overhead there.

I know hardcore gamers hated it but the Wii was a hell of a good time. Wii Sports was just super fun and to this day I stand by the Wii version of RE4 being the best version. The motion controls worked really well for the stand and shoot gameplay of the original version of RE4.
