Missing Videos

The only video I can't play on (current, not archived) IGN is this: http://uk.ign.com/videos/2006/05/04/new-super-mario-bros-nintendo-ds-gameplay-2006-05-04-8 . Is that what you (Gazlene the Pork Girl) are talking about? --Hiccup (talk) 18:25, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

No, I'm talking about IGN's cubemovies.ign.com, pocketmovies.ign.com, etc. hosts. They're all defunct. ;_; Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 18:40, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
I have saved some of the movies, actually, but not the QuickTime-format New Super Mario Bros. footage (the highest quality ones there). I'll first ask you for those. Also, do you have any of the IGN Insider downloads? Some of them are no longer on there. I myself got the Luigi's Mansion, Donkey Kong Country GBA and Super Mario 64 DS high quality footage from there (and some of the PDF guides). You also seem to be a collector of Nintendo material on the web like me. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who does it. :) Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 18:48, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
What are the filenames and URLs (for the ones you can't find)? Also, I'm interested in Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario 64 DS. I'll reupload any prerelease videos on my youtube channel and the original files (unmodified by youtube if possible) on google drive. --Hiccup (talk) 18:55, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
That will be great, thanks. There's also the Internet Archive (http://archive.org/upload). It's bound to be on there for a LOOOONNNGGG time... And rather than me listing the urls individually, here's the complete list of the NSMB videos on mid-2000s IGN. These are the ones I'm referring to: link. The links can only be opened/viewed in the video pop-up windows, many of which are not in the Archive, unfortunately. Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 19:13, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

*"260 x 404 (4.5 MB)". If a google searcg or archive.org doesn't have the direct link like that (found by looking at the source of the "size x size (filesize MB)" page). It is probably not available. That said, these video thumbnails seem to match up with the ones in the current IGN page. They might even reupload missing ones if you contact them somehow. --Hiccup (talk) 19:37, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

2005 magazine issues checked for NSMB stuff

All listed ones are checked unless otherwise noted. Every page page was checked reasonably carefully for screenshots, but not text. Anything of interest has been put on the appropriate mainspace page.
