Fun footage from an old Japanese television show has come to light, giving us a fleeting look at the planned, but ultimately cancelled, EarthBound 64 (or Mother 3) that was in development for the Nintendo 64 back in the mid-’90s.
Unearthed by YouTube channel kukun kun, the footage was originally shot for Japanese television at Nintendo’s “Spaceworld 1996” press event. At around the 10:30 mark in the video below, we can see an ever-so-short clip from the N64 RPG sequel, giving us just a glimpse of what might have been. This is then followed up with another snippet from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Whatever happened to that game?
