This is the SoundLink version of BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2, which is the direct sequel to the original F-Zero game released for the Super Famicom via the Satellaview. Two versions were released - a non-SoundLink game and a SoundLink game. Little is known about this SoundLink version outside of surviving videos, but it was distributed in two halves in August 1997 and had a similar announcer and redone soundtrack as the previous Satellaview entry. At least the first week rearranged a few courses, and replaced two with new locations called "Forest I" and "Forest II". Presuming no areas were repeated, this likely means the SoundLink version had twice as many courses total. In addition, it can be seen that the player cannot choose between Grand Prix and Practice modes in the SoundLink version; as it was a live broadcast, the player is forced to play each course in a timed Practice mode, and then the Grand Prix race.

Players were able to play for up to ten minutes before the game would automatically reset. While the game was only exhibited to show gameplay experience using the controller of the Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. U is "based on" New Super Mario Bros. Mii.

Super Mario 64 2 was the tentative title for a Mario game in development that served as the direct sequel to Super Mario 64, intended for release in 1999. It was going to be for the Nintendo 64DD, but was canceled early in production due to lack of progress and the commercial failure of the 64DD add-on. Only one demo level was ever made but was never publicly revealed. It is also possible that Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, or Super Mario Galaxy 2 could have elements salvaged from the development of Super Mario 64 2, according to Nintendo during an E3 event. Luigi was also set to appear in this game, as was a rideable Yoshi. It can be assumed that Luigi would have been playable, as Shigeru Miyamoto had planned to make Super Mario 64 2 multiplayer – in fact, the first playable demo level was multiplayer.

It had Mario's face in it, which could be squeezed in various ways, similar to the title screen of Super Mario 64, although the touch screen was used instead. Some ideas for moving Mario's face around have been removed from the real game. A Wario face was also available. It was reworked into the title screen of Super Mario 64 DS, albeit quite differently. The top screen uses graphics similar to Super Mario Bros. in Super Mario All-Stars.

A virtual pet breeding and raising game for the 64DD that was being developed by Shigesato Itoi, Shigeru Miyamoto and Pokémon producer Tsunekazu Ishihara. In the game, you raised and cared for an unspecified creature. The game used the 64DD's internal clock so the creature and the world it was in would continue to grow and change, even when the game wasn't being played. It was also intended that the creature could be transferred to a Game Boy cartridge so players could continue to care for the creature on the move. Expansion kits for the game were also planned, although it was unclear how these would have been distributed. The game was discussed a number of times during 64DD development, and a playable version of the game was planned to be shown at Nintendo Spaceworld 2000, but it never appeared. In an interview, Shigeru Miyamoto stated that the game had been dropped due to the team being busy with other projects. It is believed that several of the game's ideas were later used in Animal Crossing and Nintendogs.
