Yeah, I’m glad this didn’t get through in the end. There’s something to Earthbound that really doesn’t translate well to the N64‘s graphics. And that something is the reason why the series touched so many people. I guess Nintendo must have realized this as well at the time. Contrary to what a lot of people like to think, they usually know what they’re doing.Really cool to see this but I think it's another example of N64 graphics not translating well for certain franchises. The cartoonish look worked great for Mother, blocky N64 graphics ruin the vibe imo.
Yeah, same here wishing there was access to a short demoCool footage. I wish we had access to a playable demo or something though.
Side note: that dude has a really expensive laserdisc player in the back.

Those games look a lot better than any Earthbound 64 footage. Even Mario 64.I really dig the N64 look. At the time I would of loved it. Donkey Kong, Banjo, Mario.
It reminds me of the old Dinosaur planet pics for N64
How about a new Earthbound/Mother or Golden Sun Nintendo?
Mother is Shigesato Itoi's thing and he doesn't want to do it so there will never be a new one.
I think the issue was storage..Its a shame this never came out N64 was starved for RPGs.
Didn't matter. We got the best RPG of all time.Its a shame this never came out N64 was starved for RPGs.

Name one other game you can suplex a raptor? I'll wait.
I don't think they have developed anything. Apart from the technical demo shown at events and this screenshot of a supposed draft developed on SFC.Another Nintendo highly hyped game that ended up an abortion. Did we ever get footage of the work done on the announced N64 Final Fantasy game that was cancelled.
They had polygonal models screenshots in Nintendo power in the mid 90's. I'm sure someone will dig it up.I don't think they have developed anything. Apart from the technical demo shown at events and this screenshot of a supposed draft developed on SFC.

I think it’s from that tech demo running on a Silicon Graphics station.They had polygonal models screenshots in Nintendo power in the mid 90's. I'm sure someone will dig it up.
This game is really cool. Haven't beat it yet, only played a few hours of it.Didn't matter. We got the best RPG of all time.

I loved the style - actually wish they would make a finished version with retro/polished old polygonal graphics and all the cinematic and “64DD” stuff they were going for. It was supposed to be their FFVIIYeah, I’m glad this didn’t get through in the end. There’s something to Earthbound that really doesn’t translate well to the N64‘s graphics.

Brilliant.Fair enough.
