    Has anyone seen demos or anything?

    All I've seen is screenshots...
     
  3. Didn't Nintendo confirm it for GBA and heavily hint at it for a US release even? Maybe they'll show something at E3....

    Since we're in the topic, does anyone have any nifty videos or anything pertaining to the OLD Mother 3 for N64?

    ?

    That's what I thought we were talking about...I have a stack of old Nintendo Power magazines with EB64 screenshots...

    It REALLY pissed my friends off when they cancelled it.
     
  5. Ah, sorry, I thought it was about the GBA one. Apparently with the release of Mother 1+2 on Gameboy in Japan, Nintendo said that Earthbound/Mother 3 will be on GBA. I think it's safe to say that it's probably not going to look like the cancelled N64 one, but we'll see I guess.

    Zushiba, head over to http://ign64.ign.com and do a search for Earthbound 64, you'll find a ton of screens there.

    Anyone know WHY it was cancelled?

    Cuz N64 sucked. Sony dominated during that time.

    Nintendo didn't see a big demand for the game too.

    Pretty sure

    I'm pretty sure it was canceled because it was near the end of the N64's life cycle and it wouldn't sell or be out in time.

    Yeah I bet, Heres a question and you can infer what you want.
    How would one go about dumping one of the blue 64DD disks to some sort of rom format?

    Mother 3 topic..... blue developer disk... dumping....

    *lightbulb flickers*

    Tell ya what, I'm intrigued but a skeptic. Give us a pic of just the disc with some sort of identifying mark on it. If it's what I'm thinking it is (or even if it's just some other unreleased 64DD game), I'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to help out and get that sucker ripped.

    zushiba: Do you literally want a IPL ROM "ROM" or the actual cassette? If the security is just software, this cart would be an easy creation.

    I have to get permission to show the image. It's a group project at the moment and I dont want to go pissing off the wrong people which is why I am avoiding some questions.
    We have something and I wont say what it is unless I get the okay to do so. until then I am just "fishing"

    As for the IPL ROM we are looking for the actual cassette because we dont know any better.
    I am new to this area so to speak so I am just asking around grabbing for anything that I can get ahold of.

    If it is possible to dump the discs contents without having to use the physical cassette than does that mean it is possible to do so without the use of the 64 DD dev system? *we dont have one of those yet either..*

    If you want more info I will say what I can on AIM, my SN is zushiba.

    EDIT: Aim is stupid and was set to disallow people who arnt on my list from msging me so I fixed it.

    reason for mother 3s cancelation

    Actually starmen.net has a link to the page which has the developer having a conversation with shigeru miyamoto on why it was canceled. However, they had only translated one page of it. Anyone else up to the task?

    Yes, I am with starmen.net.
    The reason it was never finished is because our Translator, Tomato went and got a real job and didnt have time for it anymore. We have other people on the job but they havent produced anything as of yet.

    i have a video of itin quicktime format if anyone wants me to email it to them? it looks nice, very zelda 64- esque, and it seems to run quite fast.
