The other.7z archive also contained a directory named "NEWS". The NEWS folder contained source code for various SNES games. Inside NEWS, there was also a folder named テープリストア ("source data" in Japanese), containing seven tape drive backups from the Sony NEWS workstations used at Nintendo, with files dating back to the early 1990's.
The reason why there are only seven is because during when Nintendo originally tried to recover these, some time around 2016, the rest of the tape drive backups (around 30-40 of them) failed to read, and only seven of them were recoverable. These remaining backups contained original source code and developer files related to many SNES games, including titles like Star Fox 2 and Super Mario Kart. The contents of the folders outside of NEWS were most likely transferred over from these tape drive backups.
