The Cutting Room Floor:Project Names/Nintendo

This is a sub-page of The Cutting Room Floor:Project Names.

To do: Mark unconfirmed stuff Should the Pokemon games be merged into a separate Game Freak page? Check the retail game when just a demo has been checked, and provide specific locations There are some in the 2024 Game Freak leaks (although TCRF doesn't want the upcoming ones atm)

Notes

• In the teru-sama mail from the gigaleak, and in official announcements, the term "開発コード名" (Kaihatsu kōdo-mei / Development code name) has been used to refer to the CTR and NX console codenames, respectively. Tentative/仮 has been used in the lotcheck sheets.

GCK / KbyW / IUK	Kirby's Return to Dream Land	Wii	October	2011	From internal music filenames: fanfare_GCK / ST_KbyW_FUNK1 / IUK_LP_ROCK1, product code (UK), files/snd/iuk_sound/IUK.brsar	Return to Dream Land went through four iterations, so as a result the music is spread between a few different filenames. "GCK" is presumed to be "GameCube Kirby", referring to the game's earliest iteration; "KbyW" is likely "Kirby Wii". An unused beta version of "IUK_LP_ROCK1" is listed as "KbyW_ROCK1", so "IUK" is likely the final development codename.	(Source: Original TCRF research)
