Long-Lost N64 Game Inspired By Tim Burton Movie Discovered & Released
Retro video game preservationists have discovered and released a long-lost N64 title intended to come out in 2000, based on a movie from famed director Tim Burton. The topic of video game preservation has become more important in recent years, as live-service releases and the closure of stores like the Nintendo 3DS eShop lead to concerns that some games will one day be lost forever. This has led to dedicated groups of preservationists who aim to ensure that copies of games are made available for all.
