Mother 3 Comparison (Earthbound 64 vs GBA)

motherforever.net/ - Check this website out if you want to see more screenshots or info about this game.
For a while, I've been really interested in Earthbound 64, and so I've made a side by side comparison between the N64 and GBA version.
I got the GBA sprites from here - starmen.net/mother3/game_info...
I downloaded the music from here - forum.starmen.net/forum/Games...
For the final cutscene, I really had to guess where the two screenshots would happen in the GBA version. I guessed the first screenshot was Tazmily, since the town seemed to be even more of an Onett knockoff in the n64 version, and Onett had those tall buildings you couldn't enter, and so does that screenshot. Also, the ground is splitting apart, just like Tazmily in the GBA version. The GBA version doesn't have a scene of New Pork City falling apart like in the n64 version, so I just had to improvise. I can't see them, but apparently, there are those weird tornado things in the background of the New Pork City/Island(?) picture, so I found the equivalent of that scene for the GBA version, which shows the whole island, with those same tornado things in the background. What I'm trying to say is that I tried my best to make this comparison video as accurate as possible.

Mother 3 on the N64 was so close. Itoi said if they only had one more year of development time, it would have been done. It was trashed when the GameCube was first shown off, and Itoi didn't want to take away resources from that. With all these leaks that's been happening, I feel we're close to finally having this prototype.

I found the entire game felt like it was almost in a dystopia. I think ultimately that’s why Nintendo never localized it, it’s a tragedy with a lot of disturbing imagery and controversial concepts. Earthbound had some, but it kept them subtle. Mother 3 was just outright a cautionary tale.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I really like the art direction for the N64 version. The human faces on the polygonal models are weird looking but not uncanny.

@OKeijiDragon 2 жыл бұрын

I think there is a certain charm to those models as we see them now, but we also don't know how any of the models would have looked like contextually in motion in cutscenes or other in-game events anyhow. The best look we have of them is from promotional material that wasn't even technically fully developed because by the end of 99 the models were being revamped by the Pokemon Stadium team about some time before the game was ultimately canceled. Who knows how much more polished they would have looked like should it have come out after all. And I strongly bet that was a major part of the trouble making Mother 3; as they kept delaying it, they had to go back and upgrade the 3D models over and over again to be less behind of the competition, when it would have arrived. They came into making this game in-over their heads.

The one glaring flaw of the N64 for me, was its absolute dearth of RPGs. There were a total of FOUR true-blue RPGs for that system that made it to America - Quest 64, Gauntlet Legacy, Paper Mario and Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage, which came out in 2001, which was pretty much the end of the system's lifespan. Imagine if we had gotten Mother 3 as Earthbound 64...

@3dski895 2 жыл бұрын

It looks weird at first, but I remember reading that the 64 version is the type of style they've wanted since the beginning. It's just because of technical limitations that they had to use simple sprites for the first two games, but for the 64 they were finally able to adapt Mother 1's clay model designs into the actual game. Since Mother 3 GBA solidified the series style, the 64 designs do look weird, but they are most likely the closest to the true Mother art style.

perdona mi ignorancia, pero me puedes explicar porque decidieron hacer el juego en gba? se ve que en nintendo 64 el proyecto estaba muy avanzado.

Creo que era por muchos factores, al ser un juego RPG tenía muchas complicaciones para ser plasmado en la N64, la historia terminó siendo demasiado compleja para lograr entenderla en la consola, temían que los controles fueran demasiado confusos para los jugadores, tenían pensado plasmar 12 capítulos con cada protagonista, esto según iba a dar una duración de 60 horas de juego para completarlo, eso y añadiendole las malas decisiones financieras, y la poca experiencia de los desarrolladores con los juegos 3D terminaron cancelando la entrega.

Wow! Mother 3 for nintendo 64 if it had been released at the time, it could have faced you with final fantasy 7!

I'm gonna be the voice of dissent, I am extremely nostalgic for n64/ps1 era terrible 3d models and stuff so I wish this version did exist. Especially since the good ol' 64 had barely any good rpgs for it. I love Mother 3 as is but I really hope a prototype comes out/I wish back then it was easier to do 3d and 2d versions like Dragon Quest 11.

It’s like if ff7 got streamlined and released on the gba with 6’s art style

I don't knwk why this is so adictive, same for Ura Zelda, Banjo Threeie, Mother 3, Donkey Kong Racing, Dinosaur Planet (Star Fox Adventure) and more games that never came to life, I wish we get full game just like Dinosaur Planet in every game I mentioned.

Whats puzzles me is the fact that pretty much the entire game was practicallt finished, i believe Itoi even said once that the game was playable from start to finish although debug mode was needed as sometimes the game would crash. So this must mean that somewhere out there, there still is a copy of that mostly playable version

when they started the gba version the people working at hal were given the 64 copy to play

The guy said he played up to the end of chapter 1 before it crashed and that he probably missed out on the later stuff cause he saw the screenshots here and noticed there was alot more to it

I hope that someday the N64 version gets leaked, I've heard that the game wasnt too far off from completion so if that ever happened fans could possibly rebuild the game and finish a version of an amazing game that never saw the light of day

At this point, I'm glad that the N64 version was never finished. It was going to be a "product of its time", where it would be 3D because that was practically the mandatory trend for consoles of that generation. Sure, we got a few 2D games anyway and the PS1 mostly defied said trend itself, but the wait wasn't that long in the end, and it ended sticking with the traditional design from its past 2 titles.

Anyone else hear the clock tower riff in the background of that first song?

@timmyb.3426 6 ай бұрын

I always found it strange that they didn't just use the traditional Mother artstyle for EarthBound 64 like what they went with for the GBA version. Seems like they would have went with a look similar to how Ness looked in Smash 64. This game would have been so good if it were released, I definitely would have played it if it did release.
