LEGO Bionicle: The Legend of Mata Nui was being developed by Saffire Corporation, and was made as a PC game with later plans of porting the game to the Nintendo GameCube. The title would have directly taken place after the events of LEGO Bionicle: Quest for the Toa for the Game Boy Advance (GBA), which was also made by Saffire. The game was cancelled after new management was brought in at the LEGO company, who opted instead to work with Argonaur Games to create BIONICLE: The Game, which released not only on the PC and GameCube, but also on the PlayStation 2 (PS2) and Xbox.

-A plethora of dedicated BIONICLE fans spend 17 years searching for a beta copy of this game, finally manage to dig up an outdated alpha copy.
-Some UA-camr interviews the ex devs a few years later and gets the final build given to him as a gift with no hassle.
Welp.
Andrewnuva199 I guess think smart, not hard?
There has honestly been many failed attempts at contacting past devs before that happened though.
Dedicated BIONICLE fans tend to be too ravenous for their own good. :P
@@Bennett.R That sucks bro. You did something truly great :)
@@Luka1180 If he actually had the final build, he'd have released it to the public but he didn't. He's just making things up unfortunately and has seemingly developed a reputation for it. We recovered the final build through our own hard work. This person has nothing to do with it.
Tl;dw *Game's coming out 2001, receives heavy publicity, gets cancelled for unknown reasons, fans finish it up for free 17 years later.*
This is why I love the BIONICLE fandom.
True, although I admit it startled me when Windows freaked out and was insisting that I absolutely, under no circumstances, try to play the game...hasn't seem to have harmed me yet but we'll see
@@Gamesfan34260 That's because Windows doesn't like games that don't come from it's own store anymore.

Oh man. Bionicles was huge. Interesting fact about the series. The Bionicle's Franchise through a unique marketing of quality deep lore, story-telling and world-building rivaling something like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars, something that's rarely, if ever, done with toy franchises at the time, manage to save the Lego Company from a financial crisis and went a strong 10 years. Believe it or not, that's pretty amazing for a toy series as most toys are just seen as fads.
In my mind, Bionicle is like Transformers but cooler (and tragically shorter-lived).
Who knows? With all the fans like us roaming about out there maybe there will be a G1 revival

@@zacharyjochumsen9677 I do not still have Bionicle toys lol but I still think it was cool
@@murdokdracul did younever have the binicle movies on VHS as kid or dvd
I'm sure this left many grieving for years.
When I was a kid there was a dominant rumor that the game was cancelled because an unfixable glitch in Onua's level and they cancelled the game, lol.
I believe you are talking about the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3?
Just kidding. I remember this fondly, as I loved Bionicle as a kid, but can't honestly remember hearing it was canceled.
Must have just moved on from the series as a a whole & forgot about it.
That is definitely a thing, but we fixed that. ;)
The Beaverhouse Thank you for your service, sending you guys my grandpa's purple heart in the mail.
You're absolutely right, this game has literally been the white whale of the community for almost two decades! ;)
You gotta love the Bionicle community and their dedication to the franchise. After 2 abrupt cancellations of the main toy line with story lines rushed or unfinished we are always clamoring for a satisfying end. I can't wait to download this game and try it out.
i always assume 9/11 will be brought up in any situation that took place in late 2001 and early 2002. even if the situation is completely unrelated.
Oh, I assure you, 9/11 played a very big role in this game getting canceled. I have that on good, reliable authority. :)
Lego: "well, we dont want to blame it on 9/11, but it certainly didn't help."
15:57 Lol, "too violent." Several years later in another Bionicle game, you were able to play with the bosses' disembodied heads after you've defeated them...
I wonder what changed their minds.
At the very least, Quest for the Toa ended up being a pretty good game. Sad to hear how late in the game this was cancelled, that must've been genuinely upsetting for everybody involved
Quest for the Toa was a great game. I need to find my cartridge for it again...
Their point and click game on their website like 13 years ago was dope as a kid
It still is.
Then they made those trash movies and it was so depressing after seeing how amazing the flash game was
omg yes xD I remember that
Man, I was always so sad I never got to finish it. T_T
You can still play MNOLGii and MNOLGi online (there are also offline builds you can download and play), and you can watch the original flash animations on youtube. No excuse for not finishing.
Onua flipping someone off okay that is funny as shit. Not so much with Pohatu and Tahu though.

qwertyuiop123456168 I didnt really grow up with bionicles, but at first I thought it said “lego’s cancelled bible games” lol
I know right? It triggered memories I had of buying those little disc shooting bionicle toys from mcdonalds circa 2000
qwertyuiop123456168 speaking of I walked in on my cousins watching Transformers 2 earlier and all of could think was the Fallen looked like a Bionicle
@@zeroattentiongaming820 do you still have your bi oiclez
Knew about Beaverhouse finding an early Alpha build, but you got a later version and gave it to Beaverhouse to continue working on it? I and the Bionicle community cannot thank you enough.
I just saw this but thank you for the love.
I've tried to avoid videos on this game because I wanted to save my reactions for the BioMedia Project remaster and record it but this video looked too good to pass up.
I always knew this game was intended to be cannon, but haddn't heard much about the actual story elements within it. Hearing it now, I've spotted a few things that don't match up with cannon:
Not all the Toa have grappling hooks. Gali had hooks in her Mata form, and Pohatu had climbing hooks in his Nuva form from late 2002, and I don't remember them ever using them as grapples.
The Toa didn't meet each other 1 by 1. Gali, Tahu, Onua, and Lewa all met up under unkown circumstances, Pohatu and Kopaka met up, then Pohatu and Kopaka found the other four.
The Toa didn't *give* each other mask powers, each of them had to find their own set of masks. Sometimes characters would collect masks for each other, but they needed each person to have one rather than share (up until Nuva phase)
The Toa's masks don't magically turn into Golden Masks when the apporach Kini Nui (a lot of early BIONICLE games depict this, but it's not the case.) They had to give all 6 of their Great Masks to statues at Kini Nui, the masks melted into the statue and then the Golden Masks appeared on the statues' faces.
The Tales of the Toa book mentions a room with six surrounding chambers each embowed with an element surrounding the Manas room similar to the final level jumping puzzles you described, but the Toa only briefly enter the water on to fight the Manas and never bother with the others.
Greg Farsthey (the main writer of the books) has had a particular style when it comes to cannonizing things. When it comes to wierd games like this his response is usually "Rahi and vehicles are cannon, story is not." Combine that with the fact that the Tales of the Toa book, Tales of the Tohuhnga videogame, the Mata Nui Online Game, and the first few comics give absolutley no indication how the Toa found the Makoki stones and I'd say the Diciples of Makuta are probably cannon. I mean, Greg has confirmed the Fikou Nui is cannon and that's from this!
Cool to see the Toa using all 12 Masks in this. In the books it's implied they only had to collect the 6 Great Masks, while in MNOG it's implied they had to collect all 6 Great and all 6 Noble. The 12 Masks interpritation has been regarded as cannon, but I suppose this *could* be used as further proof of it.
Also, I never thought I'd see Pohatu ride a Kane Ra. That's freakin' adorable!
Damn, imagine a Bionicle game using today's graphics. That would be amazing...
Robert Poole Imagine if it was remade in UE4
*flashbacks to the Gen2 mobile games*
since TT games are only ones licensed to make lego games i doubt thatll ever happen
Robert Poole I think the old graphics showed in this video are cozy. Brings back the ’00s LEGO game feel looking like Lego Racers and Football Mania.
Check out the ambitious fan project Bionicle: Masks of Power! There's also a Skyrim mod that lets you play as a Toa and fight Rahi.
I'm glad someone remembered Bionicle.

Potatotoe Gaming Chill out I’m more of a Pokémon fan at this point but I don’t really see a point in changing my username or profile picture and you do know gay means happy. Right.
R.I.P twice.
I actually still own one of the promotional disks that were given with Cheerios
Nicolas Cyprus you should upload some gameplay
J2K Honestly, the game is not that interesting. It's a side scroller and the whole purpose is to collect masks. There's no other goal except getting a high score. However, as a kid I would watch again and again the promotional cut scenes (some of them were in this video), listen to the lore and look at the artwork. A couple of years after that, I had my brother search for the actual game but the only thing he found was the Argonaut version which is very different. Seriously though if people are interested I can totally upload the contents of the disk so that anyone can see for themselves
I had that too!
Nicolas Cyprus did the one you het in cheerios happen to have 2 discs because im sitting here looking at mine in confused amazement. I distinctly remember some of the cutscenes shown in this video from said discs. I dont have a disc reader anymore so i cant check if its the same.
Man that was old. Mine was lost when i moved house years ago. I imagine it would be shot up in value years later. Well, maybe.
That's soul crushing isn't it? 90% finished, then... Poof. Too bad too cuz it looked dope. Nice textures.
We can bring this back.

Also posted on BZPower:
Watching these kinds of "lost media" videos always makes me feel sad somehow. Maybe because most of them ultimately start with someone having a genuine creative spark, and how tragic it can be for an aspiring creator to not be able to show others their ideas. It's even more depressing for me to watch this, me being a lifelong BIONICLE fan and having felt the mysterious allure of this game most of my life. Still, it does bring me a sense of closure, and the last segment about the staff's sense of humor was a fun bit to end on. Also, I wonder how BIONICLE must seem to someone who hasn't grown up with it.
Bionicle is one of Lego's greatest franchises of all time. The complex narrative was so amazing.
bionicles are my spirit animal
The Bionicle will live on forever in our hearts.
AT Productions NERD!!!
Then again, I was going to make the same joke...
AT Productions Heh, beat me to that...
I like bionicle more than breathing
Cyranek, surprised to see you were into it.
BIONICLE's lore is almost as huge and detailed as The Lord of the Rings lore
Right down to the unfinished stories, too.
Well no, but it is very detailed
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Does Bionicle have a 14 novel series of books called 'The Complete History of Bionicle'?
it have more than 14 , also comics
I used to play a demo for a bionicle game growing up so this is definitely nostalgic for me.
Congratulations
Jump On Everything Give it a listen, my dude.
I had a game cube Bionicle game and it looked pretty similar to waht I have seen of this one so far
Edit seeing the gba video, I remember I had that one too
2nd edit, some things do look different, this version looks more open than the released version, in the released version, the ice stages in particular, were very linear, and forward movement is forced you can only controll left right and speed. The magma levels were similar but in a volcano instead of on a mountian
Edit the 3rd, it was the Argonauts game....
Bionicle heroes?
I think I had played a demo version of this game. I faintly remember swimming underwater with blue bionicle, swinging on vines with the green bionicle, and kicking rocks around with the brown bionicle
Wow, this is so cool. I haven't seen those levels for a very long time. The video brought back a rush of memories. I was responsible for programming all of the physics in the original game--walking, running, swimming, surfing, terrain following, and collisions. It's awesome to see this game resurrected, so long after its premature demise. Good job, guys!
It's rare that stories like this have a happy ending. Glad to hear that Saffire's hard work is finally being recognized by fans!
I can't believe SwitchForce thought Game History Secrets was a teaser for some big new Nintendo game...
I also can't believe I bought it.
Bionicle also got some delightfully campy and amazingly solid movies
I still get the beautiful theme tune from the first 3(?) movies stuck in my head. It annoyed me that they didn't make movies about Voya, Mahri or Karda Nui and skipped straight on to Bara Magna with no context, a different animation style, and no returning music...then ended it on a sequel hook and just let the comics and serials finish it off.
Now I'm getting angry again after 8 years of no Bionicle.
You mean 2...
Lexonn *4
Yes. Thank you. This intro animation is so much cleaner than the Beta64 one.
Liam Robertson,
Thank you for helping us find this long lost piece of BIONICLE history. The fans are forever in your debt
You're welcome! Happy to help.
I remember being obsessed with the books in my elementary school libraries until one day I asked the librarian if the library had the next book and she replied saying that they probably will never get it. I gave up on the series after that. -I cri everytim-
Wow, you gave up real easy.
..or is there some missing context?
I read all the Bionicle books in the library, which was a pretty small amount. There was the final book of the original series that I wanted to read really badly but the library never got it. So, I guess when I said the next book I meant the final book. It was kinda crushing for it to end so anticlimactically, I went on to read other books... Or maybe I was too lazy to find it elsewhere and didn't feel like going to a real library. xp
Reminds me of the scene in Spy kids. Where they jumped off a cliff then surfed in lava
Finally, the mistery is revealed!!
Talking of Bionicle is very nostalgic.This game is basically a capsule time with transported inmediatly to 2001. I still remember the famous Bionicle CD Nestle, where are promotional this thing and other products of Lego.
Thank you for this!!!
Regards!!
id never see the day that they would cover this topic...
yuy
I knew Tahu was supposed to have a lavaboard.
While i do want to see that cancelled game to be finished, but i'm very much concerned, that The Lego Group might go after the ones trying to publish it with a C&D letter. Then again, it could slip, since Lego doesn't even care about Bionicle anymore.

so their fault for wanting to move into a massive office with expensive tech phone systems ,meanwhile tiny offices in the UK produce multiple AAA games every year making lego and batman and wipeout and Rareware games

Born ready!

usually these canceled game videos make me go "And nothing of value was lost" but this one I seem to care alot about.
Who else brought their Toa Mahri into the bathroom?
I did.
And so the Cordak Blasters rusted and became useless.
Man I loved bionicles and it was s Shane when it was replaced with hero factory
John Ford I mean I think a lot of original fans were aware of the reboot, it was just very meh.
PootisBear
I think that the actual builds of the reboot sets (at least of the Toa (which weren't called Toa)) were quite well done. Based on TTV's videos, I'm not alone in holding this opinion. The narrative department was certainly lacking, however.
PootisBear I stopped buying before hero factory due to having too many sets to handle and buying 6 new sets every time a new character comes out, just got too much for my wallets.
It's a bummer that redistributing the unfinished game is likely super illegal. I hope nothing bad happens to the original devs, the new devs, and everyone else that the game passed through the hands of.
13:57 - I didn't think the Mask of Time was going to get brought up. I was planning to mention it anyway. I was actually the one who gave them the idea for that mask. When Bionicle was still pretty new, and before they moved on to the second generation of toys when the Toa were given new designs, they had a contest on their official website. The contest gave a brief story prompt, with the Toa entering a mysterious cave where they hear strange sounds. Those entering the contest were asked to draw and describe what it was that the Toa found inside the cave. What I submitted was a drawing of Makuta, who was guarding a mask. My description explained that Makuta had used this Mask of Time to bring himself back to life after being defeated by the Toa. They actually sent me a physical copy of the mask, although I haven't been able to find it. The design they used was actually very different from the one I drew. Mine had tentacal-like extensions on the sides of the mask. I saw that they had made use of the mask in the comics (which I had early access to, on a portion of the site for some exclusive club I can't remember the name of), but I had no idea if they had plans to distribute the mask to the public. I wonder, since the game was cancelled, if my copy is the only Mask of Time released to the public.
Well... no.
The Kanohi Vahi: Mask of Time was the first mask design finalized - it’s in a lot of promo art if you look it up. The mask cast in orange was meant to be released with the game, but it finally got a broader release in gold with limited-edition Vahki sets in 2004, where it had relevance to that year’s movie.
All I know is I submitted my mask design in a contest, and I got some stuff for winning. I got the mask, as mentioned before, and access to the Proto Club (I think is what it was called). I was supposed to get a pair of shoes, but I never got them. I figure I was probably older than the age range they were going for, so they didn't have my size.
Oh yeah that contest. Many received the mask of time as a reward.
The orange mask of time was molded and ready to ship with the game before it's cancellation.
So they had a bunch of masks without any distribution.
So it was commonly gifted trough promotions and contests.
It appeared on the comic and animations on 2003 and the movie of 2004.
I was legitimately confused as to that design being a "mask" in the Metru Nui movie and thought it was unfinished, especially in a franchise where everyone's basically wearing full-face masks. Made sense to me considering the main character couldn't beat Makuta even with it.
The orange Vahi mask was apparently distributed through Walgreens, although none of the locations I ever visited had ever heard of them. So some did make it out into the community.
A bionicle movie the production of the Lego movie would be awesome
We've had a few Bionicle movies already. Also a Netflix show.
But imagine if one was done in the style of The Lego Movie! I can see something like that being a ton of fun to watch.
@@TheNightwing80 these movies were meh. The netflix series is poop.
I'll have to show this to my little sister. She's still obsessed.
This series is awesome, I love video game history and development behind the scenes and secrets ! The video is really well made too, great narrative, that moves fast and delivers good information ! Great work guys keep it going
I remember Badman mention the game in his cancelled Bionicle games video and I felt that it was really interesting to see how much work was done. I would love to play a close to complete version of it.
Great video as always Liam. I would love to see more of this new series, though I would miss Unseen64 on this channel.
Dude, you helped save Bonkle? My inner eight year old thanks you. Also, love the new intro!

Hail Denmark!
are you working on the next reviving bionicle?
Ohai orange
It makes me even more want to play the game
Thanks so much for covering this. I still remember my friends and I being super hyped for this when I was probably 10-ish and always wondering for the years immediately after 2001 what happened to it. It was incredibly disappointing when we found it out it was never going to come out because what little footage there was of it in trailers on the mini CDs from the actual Toa Lego sets looked incredible. And now, to see all the actual gameplay footage in this video, it was seriously everything 10 year old me wanted it to be and even more. Thanks for finally giving a sense of closure to this mystery and the fact that it'll actually be around in some sort of playable form is just incredible!
I remember that year so vividly and this video explained alot of things to me that were mysterious at the time. Thank you!
That is so nice to hear! Thanks for watching.
Bionicle was and still is the shit
Why?
@Kalmko6363
What why? Because it was awesome, DOH!

term "X is the shit" means "this shit is very good" .

PandaXclone2 I almost missed that, too.
Never been a Bionicle fan, but this was a great tale that has a pretty good ending for the fans. Certainly a real reason to smile o/
One of your best and most intriguing episodes yet! I own wayyy too many Bionicles and always wondered what happened with this game.
18:32 with those Cheats/secret animations, i had never thought of seeing my childhood toys trying to be offensive like that...
My childhood.
Wow, that was really interesting. The explicit easter eggs definitely caught me by surprise. Funny as hell though.
Holy f***! I was SOOO hyped for this game to come out! I downloaded all of the promo videos through our 56k modem and my parents kept yelling at me for clogging the phone line for entire afternoons :D
I LOVED the Bionicle toys growing up. I tried hard to collect all of them, but some of them were so difficult to find. I kept all the tubes they came in too.
Damn, Boinicle's were the best back in 2004!
9:06
*I AM THE GRRRREAT MIGHTY POO*
I read the Bionicle comics as a kid and had a bunch of the buildable figures. I couldn't remember seeing anything about the game though, until you mentioned the "exclusive mask" that was supposed to be released with it - then it all came back. I had really, really wanted that mask.
Excellent video, great to see Bionicle is still loved after all this time! I'll definitely keep an eye on Biomedia after their hard work!
tfw you found a Kanohi Vahi
This game actually looks really good. Who knows what the finished product would have been like.
All I can think about is how Motunui (which is I know spelled Mata Nui in bionicle) is the name of the island from Moana
strange
Great video. Love Bionicle. Thanks for letting me know about the BioMedia project!
18:28/18:41 I wonder what Gali, Kopaka & Lewa's hidden animations were...
Holy shit, the ending sounds promising. I would love to see the game completed and released by fans.
Syphist Prime Bio Media Project's got the builds, if you wanna check'em out now.
BlueSatoshi wait they have versions we can play right now? Even if they aren't complete that's awesome.
Syphist Prime They've got a launcher with a patch installer.
And a discord if you wanna keep tabs on progress.
Syphist Prime biomediaproject.com/bmp/the-legend-of-mata-nui/
That's awesome, I'll need to check that out.
Thank you so much for bringing this to the public like this.
I had my eyes on this game so much as a kid, and when I eventually got the Bionicle Game that DID release, I was rather confused and a little upset as to where all the cool Toa Mata stuff had gone. I never realised the two were different games at the time.
I never stopped loving this era of Bionicle. When I was old enough to be working and earning money, I went out and bought a couple of the figures they featured in this game, because I never got to own them for real. And they're now the only two Bionicle toys that I still have unpacked and on display.
Being able to play this game, after all these years... man, this fills a hole in my childhood that has been there for too long.
I'm actually happy to see this because I've been getting back into the Bionicle series, and in fact tried to play the beta version of this game... Could never get it to work, but it's still cool to see this game.
The B in LGBT stands for Bionicle.

Can confirm, I am a proud Technic Bionicle
Bionicle like was my jam growing up! Too bad this game never came to be, childhood me would've played the crap out of it. Hell, I'd play it now if I had the chance, it kinda reminds me of a third-person Metroid Prime game.
If I recall, Bionicle has a long ang fascinating history of planning video games, only for them to get canned at some point or another. I forget if the Argonaut game actually did see release, or was another such cancelled game.
It did see release. Half of it, anyway. :P
Yeah, I looked it up. Supposedly 70% of the game was scrapped to fit a holiday release.
The irony of that Gameboy prequel is that, as we now know from the first movie, Takua is actually a Toa himself:
*Toa Taka Nuva* - the Toa of light.
Did you know I love DYKG
I love you too?
DidYouKnowGaming? XD
I too love the letters DYKG
i remember those mini bionicle from mc donalds
Nostaligia overload!! I fondly remember having almost all of the original collection, plus the cds. I was overhyped about this upcoming game that I desperately tried to find it via PC importers, but none of them had it. Then I went with the newer NGC game but I was still so downed about the PC cancelled game. I is a joy to have someone back on this project after 17 years. So many memories:)
2:33 dude with an autobot t shirt working on bionicle? I approve, rule of thumb, always get us robot nerds to work on stuff with robots lol
Man, Bionicle was the shit.
What? Why?
@Kalmko6363 It was cool if you didn't care about anything but the Lego sets and if you wanted to know more it had a pretty big expanded lore with books, comics and the online ADV game.
I cared about the sets and the story.
More bionicle please.
I remember those times, I still have the Bionicle CD's that came on the cereal boxes, that had some platform mini games and some cinematics, still have some pieces of the figurines still scattered around somewhere.
Upon a few years around 2004 I was 10yo and found a copy of Argonaut's Bionicle along with Drome Racers for PC and bought it right away. The game on my eyes was so well polished and so fluid, it's one of the games I really do not regret buying, the story was alright, the cinematics were cool and the soundtrack was really cool(Sometimes I just left the main menu theme play since it was so cool, and it played really well with the cinematic of showing all the heroes in a circle). The final part of the game was with the Toa of Light and for those who watched the Mask of Light movie it was pretty awesome. We are already on 2018, and for those that actually never played the game I really recomend.
Wow I'd completely forgotten about this game! I loved bionicles when they first came out and I remember getting those discs and seeing the videos on them
I am moana of moutanoui and....wait wtf are these lego men?
You are Welcome
The game we needed
I remember being sick and staying home from elementary school one day and I was channel surfing until I saw that one of the Bionicle movies was on. I watched till the end. Years later, my brother and I watched it together on Netflix. We spotted a typo in the Matoran language in that movie lol
I appreciate this so much, Bionicle was such a huge part of my childhood. Still have one sealed from when I won it at LEGO Club.
A Lego Bionicle game DOES sound interesting.
Hewki is the best toa, if you think I'm wrong, challenge me to a Kholi match.
1v1 me on the kholi field, kholi head!
It's actually spelled "Kohli", although the 2001 flash game spells it as "Koli" for some reason.
It's funny how Pohatu (the brown Toa Of Stone) was wearing his Mask Of Water-Breathing (as indicated by the silver Gali face in the bottom left) while in the desert during some of the footage from his level.
I was looking for this game since i was a little kid! I am so happy that people were as curious as I was when it got canned...
This really is a nice closure to one of the things my childhood self would be wondering about for YEARS
