Earthbound 64/Mother 3 64 Remaster

Join the Earthbound 64 Discord Server: / discord
Big thanks to baggage for the audio, and echoes for mixing the trailer.
I attempted to remaster the existing trailer by upscaling it 2x and balancing the colours as there was a slight green hue.
I then did a similar process with existing screenshots except these had a brightness issue and a red hue. I uploaded the screenshots in chronological order in how they appear in game.
I chose not to use any screenshots due to the 64DD era of development because a lot of the locations and models are outdated, and its hard to pinpoint them at a time in the game, plus they are not reflective of the final build.
I also missed out some screenshots that I struggled to place such as Lucas, Kumatora, and Flint in the desert fighting Pigmasks.

[@wumpus976]

@@Jack-fo2pc that’s the joke, we already know most of the stuff about the game, like characters and story, it’s just that the game switched hardware.

[@Random_Geek_J]

@@wumpus976 From what I've read while trying to not spoil myself, it appears that several things including the time skip that occurs changed to be a shorter length and likely even the ending of the game. It would be interesting to have the original N64DD files be dumped into the wild so we can piece together what this game was meant to be before getting cancelled and changing systems. But all we can do is dream. And hope that Mother 3 one day gets ported to America, cause not everyone likes the idea of emulating a game and can readily do so.

[@Yushe_]

The leaker has a lot more and might have Mother 64. He leaked gold & silvers spaceworld prototype years earlier, there is rumours that the actual leak is 2 terabytes worth (only 3 gbs has leaked so far). I have some vague evidence that he hangs around groups that have hoarded prototypes in the past but I would rather give him the benefit of the doubt. Reviewing the contents and cleaning them up for release would be hard work. Although I don't know how much he wants to clean up the contents because after the gigaleak calmed down he quitely released internal nintendo emails where they were discussing nsfw stuff including loli... (dont look it up if you dont know what that means, trust me you don't want to see it)

[@dicedown_]

Do we have any proof of this though? We know there would’ve been a ness like-character, and we know the protagonist would still be Lucas so this ness like character is most likely Ness. It would’ve been more connected to Earthbound, so either there would be earthbound flashbacks or a earthbound/mother 3 cross over. The prologue and chapter 1 would’ve been about Lucas, flint and Claus, so chapter 2-3 is possible but then there’s the salsa and fassad sequence. I heard somewhere that it actually took place 10 years after earthbound, which is extremely weird. So, it’s probably Earthbound flashbacks showing ness and his adventure before the world ended

[@Colddydagodd]

4:07 is when the world collapse after the final needle been pulled?

[@thomas1999]

Possibly, it's hard to say. My personal theory is that the original 'New Pork Island' (before it was renamed to NPC) was an amalgamation of various Earthbound cities, since the Onett sign and Monotoli building are so close to each other. Basically a larger version of Porky's nostalgia room in Mother 3 GBA. Of course we know so little there is no definite way to say what it is.

This is a very interesting thing to research, though I'm glad it was on the GBA in the end. Keeps it nice and consistent. N64 wasn't the right console to transition this series to 3D. It had great capacity, but not enough to do this series justice. Perhaps GC would've been more fitting? But either way, the final product being on GBA and with an improved classic 2D format was the right choice. Plus we got the best Kumatora lmao

Like imagine how goddamn terrifying fighting Claus' vengeful spirit would have been on N64... Though looking back on this as a whole... I'm really glad they went back to 2D with the final game. They said they weren't used to working with 3D, and you can really tell here. I don't think the game would have been anywhere near as powerful with these, and I hate to say it, ugly ass models. The only thing the N64 plans had over the GBA release is the extended story, since you can see scenes here that aren't in the final. It's very likely these were just more in-depth versions of the same story beats we got in the final game, for instance, Lucas and Claus in the minecart was likely them escaping the Mecha Drago before the cart derailed and they landed in the river where they're found in the GBA game.

This may be too far fetched but....they released Star Fox 2 in the snes classic back in 2017. If you don’t know, Star Fox 2 was finished in 1996 but never released until the snes classic. So what if they release mother 64 if they ever do a n64 classic?? Well at least what they have of it. They had more than 50% done, so it would be perfectly playable until chapter 7 or so (this n64 version had 12 chapters). I doubt it will happen but still... would be cool

[@JeffRobloxian]

Would of been cool if they released both N64 and GBA Version But all we got is the GBA version

[@sync9847]

@mishke He isn't claiming it would've been practical, he is merely stating that it would have been cool.

[@sync9847]

@mishke Just because something is an impractical waste of resources for a company, doesn't take away the pleasure the consumer might derive from said financial waste.

[@Butterstix2014]

0:31 Lol the enemies even then flew away like in the final version.

[@grey-c8138]

Man, Kumatora dressed very... differently in this version lol

[@leifjohnson2081]

Really don’t understand why they never saved all the hard work and ported it to GameCube. I like the gba but every time I see the n64 footage I always regret growing wishing and hoping for eb64 much like the defunct Ura Zelda. Still if Nintendo even released an incomplete copy of this and it was playable I’d still fork over the money to play it.

[@leifjohnson2081]

Even still I’d buy it lol I really wanted that as a kid

[@inceptional]

To be fair, the pixel are look leagues prettier than this. I'm actually glad it ended up on the GBA to be honest.

[@Eunity286]

It's crazy that they even had up to chapter 4 seemingly complete. Like... It wasn't exactly the same story, sure, but you can see Osohe Castle, Kumatora, Fassad, Salsa, and a Drago. From what I can put together, Itoi had a good idea of what this game should be. Though there were some changes in the GBA version, this would've been an interesting addition to the Mother family. I hope that someday somebody can remake this remarkable part of Mother's history.

[@PKwooper8281]

Actually, as far as I can tell, the start of Chapter 4 would've been labeled Chapter 7

[@Eunity286]

@@PKwooper8281 Interesting. Care to elaborate?

[@PKwooper8281]

Devin I realized I typed that wrong, but basically, cuz the ”Etude for Ghosts” from the EB64 website’s music file name is ”Battle 05” it makes me thing that that battle would've been labeled as chapter 5. Also from what I can tell they did up to Chapter 6 in M3

Devin I'm making a compilation video of lots of different EB64 content that I can find online, it should be done it a week’s time, so if you'd want to see that As ASAP As Possible then if say you should subscribe, then maybe unsubscribe but idk

I'm happy, but will I be happy later?

I’m kind of happy that we got the gba version, but I would’ve also loved to have a n64 version

[@biggestboss9289]

3:57 Yum yum, Kumatora.

[@Diembee]

Honestly if this came out on the N64, it wouldn’t have held up nearly as well.

[@DanielMartinez-tr9bx]

Guys! it's happening!!!

[@porkyminch5131]

Whats happening?

[@ACrumpledPaper]

Please upload mother 3 ost with these hq audio, i didn't found other recopilation ost with this quality (my english is not good XD).

[@RichardHartness]

This is cool and all but what I was most pumped about was the Final Fantasy 6 demo reel for the N64.

[@SleepyDeerFox]

No rope snake :(

[@doinkle_idk]

Looks like on earthbound 64 Claus is not dead, or HINAWA is get Claus back but die. And Kumatora on that version is have more darker story, or lady on 3:57 is another girl, and I have question: on 3:57 it's Lucas or Claus?

[@notafbiagent473]

If I had to guess then it’s probably a early version of kumatora in chapter 4 (or 5, I haven’t played mother 3 in a while)

[@doinkle_idk]

guy just we first time got Kumatora on chapter 2

[@notafbiagent473]

@@doinkle_idk I mean when she rejoins the party

[@doinkle_idk]

@@notafbiagent473 it's probably chapter 3/4/5

[@steveposting8601]

It's Lucas and I think that girl is Kumatora
