I shouldn't give him unwanted attention, but a reliable proto source had the opportunity to get it once. Someone else told him to keep an eye out for it. Sadly when it actually did come up, this person suddenly wasn't responding. Kind of doubt they would have been able to afford it, anyway. Not that I know what the price was. Actually come to think of it I don't remember if it sold to someone else or the buyer kept it, but in any case someone has it.
Can't really give "proof" as much as just that story. I know Conker's Quest is out there in some collectors hands, too. Whether these people are "hoarding" or maybe just waiting until an opportune moment in their lives where the cost it took to get these carts doesn't matter anymore and they can just release them is something I've wondered. I don't like thinking most people are content forever keeping things to themselves, especially after all the great other protos out that that would have never been enjoyed by these very same people if they weren't shared.
But maybe this is sidetracking the topic a bit :p Anyway, I wonder if those textures for Diddy Kong Racing 2 imply there's also code for that on here? This is crazy.
