Description
4/20/13 was MOTHER 3's seventh birthday! I have some horrible obsession with the cancelled Earthbound 64 and that minecart scene. And the fannypacks. When you have twin fannypacks there is no way you can faildammit Nintendo

The mine cart goes flying across the chasm successfully
Claus: Made it.

If only this scene was in the GBA version,oh well.
By the way,which version would you prefer,would you prefer if Mother 3 was on the N64 or do you think it's better to just have the GBA version?

You and me both.
Benimaru Itoh's character designs had a certain kind of "bounce" to them I enjoyed. I disagree with Itoi's excuse of polygon graphics appearing too flashy, if anything the N64 game -- despite people's objections still had its own appeal and charm. They could still make landscapes as outlandish and detailed as they needed, but N64's hardware was very -- VERY bottlenecked.
It's more that they wanted design consistency with the previous games given the clay models -- which is understandable, but some designs in the final incarnation felt like sprite rips from previous games.
A lot of their work could have been salvaged easily on the GameCube with some model and background updates. It would have been the better choice for a number of reasons. Though the idea of trying to make the game a sandbox was a little TOO ambitious even for a first 3D attempt on their end. I do kind of wished the game spanned 10 years instead of 3, just so we'd have some more play time with Flint and seeing some father-son team up it would have given a better impression of their relationship than the game we got at least.
I will admit that some character designs did turn out better on the GBA (like Drago, Bronson and Duster) however. I don't hate the GBA game but the Nowhere Islands don't feel as vast in scale as any artwork of the map may suggest.

I agree. I adore the Mother 3 that we got with its beautiful sprite work and I've probably played through it fifty times--but it's too easy to wonder "what if?" haha Knowing that it was supposed to be much, much longer with a broader map makes me want to explore the world so badly. The story is interesting and I would've loved to see it expanded upon. More of Claus, more of Flint, more of the characters' relationships in general.

A part of me still wishes they had kept the fanny packs.

Me too. That's all Mother 3 was missing! Well, that and the minecart.

What was Nintendo's obsession with minecarts back then?

They were pretty prevalent. I found this article and laughed: [link]
