Earthbound 64 (Japanese: Mother 3) was a cancelled game that was going to be released for the Nintendo 64 and then on the Nintendo 64DD. Several years later it was revealed that the project had started up again for the Game Boy Advance under the form of Mother 3. Much of the story seems to be based off the information known about EarthBound 64, including the four main characters (listed below), and a plot involving a Pig Army, but it is unknown how close the plots are to each other due to the small amounts known about this game.
[edit] Development history
As stated earlier, Earthbound 64 was going to be released for the Nintendo 64DD. Shigesato Itoi's team ran into some trouble while developing this game, due to their inexperience with 3D games and the difficulty of developing for Nintendo 64 hardware. The final nail in the coffin, Nintendo 64DD's failure, destroyed all hope for the game. On August 21, 2000, Itoi officially confirmed the game's cancellation.
[edit] Characters
Though information on the characters was scarce, the main characters are as follows:
The villains of the game consisted of the Pig Army. There were also other returning characters like the Mr. Saturn and a picture of someone who clearly resembled Doctor Andonuts.
