Thanks bruh hope the family is doing well 👍

@@allmight9840 Much better, thanks!

"SNES titles just play so well on the handheld" _proceeds to show a game infamous for being hell to play on the GBA_ In all seriousness tho, great vid.

Not only for Mother fans, by all of gaming. This game has been rumored and dreamt of since 96. Almost 30 years of gaming. The dev cartridge is equivalent to the ark of the covenant for sure

rom hacking time

Just imagine what fan devs could do! They could even finish it, refine it (polishing textures, etc), make lots of bug fixes and even add content to it, It's a dream to know just a little piece of what Itoi was planning with this game, releasing a dev cartridge of it sure will become a wonderful moment for all Mother community✨

Unless Nintendo pulls a star fox 2.

how strong is the chance of this? is there a hint this is likely? I would love it but don't want to get my hopes up. I'm so tired of waiting for Earthbound 64 that I'm basically making it myself, called #NotSSGame. I have screenshots on twitter.

It's the N64/PS1 games aura. they're special somehow

@@davimag2071 I feel like 1996-2005 had those weird vibes. PC, N64, PS2, Dreamcast especially

@@EZOnTheEyes 1992 - 2005 imo. The golden age of fiction

@@EZOnTheEyes Because they probably had morr freedom to do whatever they want and games weren't as expensive to make compared to this day. Nostalgia also adds a huge factor in it. Thing is, back then artstyle had to be good to draw the attention since graphics were limited.

Ahhh the 90s. Apparently weird dystopian visions with a healthy dose of "attitude" were really moving product back then.

what what? You’re into MOTHER too?

Woah hi

My friend is hosting a Mother animation collab, hope a decent amount of Earthbound fans enjoy it in the upcoming months

@@bluesolace9052 when?

@@loliezz8461 I think everyone here is into your MOTHER

Get on it! You’re not getting any younger! If I can beat Bloodborne, you can finish an RPG! 😝😝

I only finished mother 3, and know everything about earthbound. As for mother 1, I know legit nothing and I'm just waiting on the encore remake to play mother 1 and the mother 2 remake to play it.

Me enthralled by a series I know very well always

Mother games got that certain OOMPH about them that other games just don't got

lot easier to watch a few videos than spend hours and hours on a game

Without Sony to keep Nintendo executives in check i fear what would have happened with all of their franchises Imagine microtransaction ridden consoles without NOTHING special other than being a glorified pre-built PC with atrocious DRM So yeah, i imagine it, and i fear it

@@rompevuevitos222 Well... You're living in it my dude. I have over 200 games on my PS3/PS4, digital and physical. I'll have to wave them all goodbye someday when the CMOS battery keeping the internal clock goes out and the system has no way to verify licenses. Now I'm not a Nintendo shill, they've done some shitty stuff as of late, but pre-built PC console with built in DRM is what I'd sooner refer to Sony's last three consoles. Did you get those switched or do you think it's specifically the success and failures of Sony that keep Nintendo from fucking up their own brand. Like would they not have made the Wii if the GameCube had no competitors? I don't understand. Or that was all sarcasm and I'm just wooshing hard rn...

@@UltravioletNomad Consoles, including the ones from Sony and Nintendo are all just PCs with a shitty OS, if you managed to install windows or linux in one (which some devkits have) it would be no different from a common PC Nintendo consoles however, they do shit PCs can't or won't do, like dual controllers, motion controls, touch screen (back when it was pretty much non existant for PCs), etc So yeah, nintendo has been doing pretty well, but that's because they HAVE to, if they where just the same as Sony they would have lost the console wars long ago That's what i meant, if Nintendo just had a monopoly in the console market and didn't have to worry about Sony, they would be doing the same thing Sony is doing now

@@rompevuevitos222 I get the general arguement that competition breeds innovation, but I don't think they made shit like the Wii and DS to grab the same market share. The Wii was a success because it pandered to the casual market, its why they we're still making Just Dance editions for it up until 2020. Not to mention the tight connection Nintendo has with their own RnD. Nintendo will actively make shitty decisions not based on money, but because they just want to make this weird concept work, like the WiiU gamepad and Starfox Zero. In a lot of ways you can assume that certain aspects of their hardware are made purely because Miyamoto had some batshit idea (Nintendo Labo in a nutshell). So lets say for instance that the mobile market didn't exist, and Nintendo just launched their crazy idea for the Wii, and earn a mountain of market share in the casual audience. There's no incentive to do anything other than to pump out more shovelware that casuals will buy. I don't think Micros would be that prevalent, and they certainly would have been less likely to do something like FE Heroes. Instead, if you're looking for a shitty way Nintendo Execs would exploit a no competition scenario, look at the shit "Disney Vault" style approach they have to their backlog. We'd probably see more limited time release like 3D All Stars earlier. Why worry about recurring payments form whales when you can create FOMO with every single product you produce. Hell, they did it with the Super Famicom's Modem service, there are games on that that won't ever see the light of day outside of emulation, and the only reasons I could think to why they wouldn't release them is 1.Preserving brand value and 2. Nintendo's weird sentimentality of playing things original despite it not even being available anymore. All that being said, this is an interesting conversation that I really just wanted to dig deeper on. However I do want to clarify that My original prompt was merely to examine a world where the 64DD was successful and somehow Mother 3 delivered on all its innovative concepts, not that FF7 or Sony didn't hit at all. Even given a world where Mother 3 beat FF7, that's still just one good RPG on the entire catalogue of 64. I think Sony would be fine. Square might have rethought their decision however, maybe we could have seen FF9 on the gamecube or something... probably would have been terrible given Square's other Gamecube attempts.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@UltravioletNomadI know it’s 2 years later, but the other guy never replied and wow what an interesting conversation. I wanted to touch on the concept of the world where Mother 3 and FFVII were equally as huge, and interject with the idea of a world where the Sony + Nintendo PlayStation-as-a-SNES-add-on actually happens which triggers Nintendo’s early adoption of the compact disc in this timeline. This would change the n64 to either be entirely disc-based, or another Nintendo + Sony cartridge/disc hybrid, essentially the 64DD being an all-in-one right off the bat instead of an add-on released down the road. In this timeline I’m imagining, virtually the entire PlayStation 1 catalog would have come out on Nintendo consoles-the early games that didn’t need analog joysticks would have been made for the SNES, while the later games, including FFVII, would have come out on the discN64 that exists in this alternate reality. Mother 3 would have had the technology necessary to come out at launch, and be released on the same console as FFVII. Maybe with a more colorful PlayStation DualShock controller that resembles the n64 design and and a SNES controller with PlayStation style handle extensions. Oh a man can dream. Imagine what the GameBoy Advance would have been like with Sony’s input on it? Also, without the PlayStation being a separate console, Sega likely wouldn’t have hung it up and the Dreamcast would have had a longer run, as well as a successor to the GameGear, and possibly they would have continued to make consoles as well as games into the present. I’d like to imagine that the Zelda BSNES games would have come out, as well as the third Oracle game that was scrapped. Maybe we still would have gotten a GBA mother 1+2 port, and a full main line game in the style of mother 2 like our mother 3 was, but the thing I’ll always miss in this timeline is the technological superiority of Nintendo+Sony, and the 3D mother 3.

I know right!?

if there were Mother 5, it would've been about dethroning god

@@chaoticfisherman373 fuck happened to mother 4 😭 bro there’s only 3 I swear

@@optimuscrime1023 i mean I'm just sayin

One can only hope!

That would be awesome

HAL might still possess the cartridge. Who knows? There's evidence pointing to a few existing cartridges. Around 10 were made for Spaceworld. At least 1 survives.

Don’t forget about Dinosaur Planet a few months back.

Hmmmmmm....

@@PressStartToContinueYT id actually love to see you do a video on what you think happened to Ness and crew between games

@@TheCookingDojo I second this!

(Small spoilers.) Well, considering Porky teleports away during the end of the Giygas fight, and says that he might see the party "in another era", assuming Porky wasn't wholy defeated, and that he exists in Mother 3, leads me to believe Ness travelled through time with the help of Dr. Andonuts (and possibly even Jeff) in order to stop Porky, who travelled to Lucas' time to possibly change the past, or even the future.

I truly hope it gets found. I’d LOVE to see just how much Itoi already had planned that far back.

We can hope. Like the Sony and Nintendo SNES collaboration was something only the staff knew about, for years people wondered how it would be like and yet some guy managed to find the console and even managed to make it work. If they can do that there is a possibility that they can find the eb64 ROM

I honestly think it could have changed gaming forever. Or perhaps, it would have propelled Nintendo to release more Mother titles that were subpar...

Misuse of commas.

Those games are fantastic and their graphics were good at the time, but nowadays they're visually pretty ugly. I think mother 3's pixel art style far better suits the game.

I'm certainly not saying I don't enjoy the N64. In fact, some of the most memorable games from my childhood are on the console. I'm merely relating to the graphical aspect. Perhaps I could have chosen better words.

@@PressStartToContinueYT Actually, many of the games have a better overall aesthetic to me than most modern titles, and I'm certainly not alone in this - first- and second-party titles especially manage to look great to this day. In fact, I would say games like SM64 benefit from the limitations of the console in a strange way; many early 3D had a surreal, dreamlike quality that evoked a sense of intrigue. While much of this is certainly unintentional, many people have felt like the artistic apex of 3D gaming was this generation. Yes, many third-party titles didn't age well visually, and I can definitely see what you were pointing to when you said that. Yet, when KZfaqrs parrot the "Wind Waker's visual style made it age better than other games", most people I know are actually completely nonplussed; OoT and MM aged much better to most of the people I know.

IDK, people generally find that early pixel art ages better regardless of their actual age, while early 3D graphics don’t seem to look that great to most people, not even just compared to modern 3D graphics, but also 2D ones as well

Nowadays, this does seem to be somewhat shifting, and nostalgic throwback games to early low-poly 3D are becoming more of a thing now

What is the other two?

Yeah it would be really cool to see or even play through Mother 64. Personally, I like the pixel graphics a lot better, but it would still be interested to see what the game would have been like.

Unprobable,but possible.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks, that was definitely an oversight on my part

I think its a german name, you hear it very often in there

Misuse of commas.

Maybe the N64 could have had more rpgs if it weren't "allergic" to 2D games. Imagine if N64 had ports of NES or SNES rpgs. Aside from rpgs other games too like maybe platformers from around that timeframe. I wonder if Klonoa on Ps1 could have worked on N64.

The Sega Saturn showed how 2D games, when made with great passion and quality behind them, still can hold up against 3D games just as easily. It's no different than the classic hand-drawn 2D Disney movies, compared to the modern 3D computer animated ones.

Hey thanks for the kind words, it means a lot!
